+=== Zooming ===
+Showing an image like this is nice, but sometimes you want to zoom in on a detail, get a closer look. To do this Ristretto provides the ability to zoom in on a section of the image. There are several ways to do zoom in on an image,
+  * The first way to zoom is via the zoom buttons on the side toolbar. It is possible to zoom in, out, to 100% or to make the image fit the screen. These buttons can also be reached via {gui>Menu>View>Zoom}.
+  * A second way is using the scroll-wheel on the mouse. Moving the mouse-wheel forward while pressing Control zooms in on the image. Similarly moving the mouse-wheel backward and holding Control will zoom out.
+    <note tip>The zoom-direction of the mouse-wheel can be adjusted, see [[apps:ristretto:preferences|Preferences]] for more details.</note>
+  * The third, and last way to zoom on an image is using so-called BOX-ZOOM, or selection-zoom. Press Control+Click, and drag the mouse-cursor. This way a box appears, when the mouse-button is released, Ristretto will zoom in on the selected portion of the image.
+=== Rotating ===
+Sometimes, it is necessary to rotate an image because it is not positioned in the right orientation. To solve this, you can use the Rotate buttons available via {gui>Menu>View>Rotation}.
+<note info>Some digital cameras store the image-orientation inside the EXIF data. If this information is present, Ristretto reads this information and automatically rotates the image.</note>
+<note info>Ristretto does not provide a way to save the altered orientation back into the file. If you want to modify the image-data, this needs to be done with an image-editor, like The GIMP.</note>
+=== Switching between images ===
+When an image is opened in Ristretto, it shows a list of images in the Thumbnailbar, these are the other images located inside the same folder as the currently opened image. The arrow-buttons on the navigation toolbar allow for easy switching between different images.
+Also, using the scroll-wheel on the opened image, or on the Thumbnailbar will switch to the next or previous image. Allowing for fast and easy navigation between images.
+== Slideshow ==
+To run a slideshow of all the opened images, all you need to do is press the Play button. This can be found on the Toolbar and the View menu.
+<note tip>The duration of the timeout before the next image is shown can be configured inside the [[apps:ristretto:preferences?#slideshow|Preferences dialog]], by default it is set to 5 seconds.</note>
+==== Set as Wallpaper ====
+It is easy to set the wallpaper on the Xfce desktop directly from the ristretto menu, using {gui>Menu>View>Set as Wallpaper}

+==== Clear private data ====
+To clear the history of images viewed with ristretto, this can be done using {gui>Menu>View>Clear private data}
