What is ImageBrowser?
Using Contextual Menus
When you hold down the [control] key and click the mouse button, a menu is displayed. This is a contextual menu. In ImageBrowser, you can access many useful functions through contextual menus. For example, the following contextual menu appears when you press and hold the [control] key and click an image in the Browser Area.
