+<para>&kview; is an image viewer for the &kde; desktop. You can view
+graphics of many different formats such as &PostScript;,
+<acronym>TIFF</acronym> &etc; By saving your files in a different
+format than the original you can easily convert images to other
+graphics formats. In addition, &kview; provides some nice little
+features for doing simple image processing, like stretching/shrinking,
+rotation and applying effects. You can arrange your images in a little
+slideshow.</para>

+workspace containing your documents (images in this case), a menubar that
+provides access to the various commands, a toolbar with shortcut buttons for
+some of them and a status bar at the bottom to display status messages. When
+you have the loaded an image into &kview;, there is also an additional
+context menu available which is displayed by clicking your right mouse
+button over the image. Below, all menu entries are explained in the order

+window</guilabel> enabled, the &kview; window will be resized so that it snuggly
+fits around the loaded image. Notice that this can reduce the main window almost
+to a vertical arrangement of menu entries if you load a small button pixmap (you
+can resize the window afterwards in the usual way, of course). If your image is
+pretty large (in terms of pixels), sometimes the &kview; window is resized in
+such a way that the caption bar completely moves off your screen. Similarly,
+<guilabel>Resize image to fit window</guilabel> resizes the image to fit into the &kview;
+workspace (keeping its aspect ratio intact). And with <guilabel>Don't
+resize anything</guilabel> as your choice, both &kview; and your image keep their
+size. With <guilabel>Best fit</guilabel>
+&kview; will resize the window to fit the image. The image will never be
+scaled up but if it is too large for the screen the image will be scaled down.
