Information

Displays general data about the current image, such as, size, scale factors, date of image, location, etc..
Most of this data is a permanent part of the image and can be found in the headers of the various formats.
Only the size and bits per pixel values are saved in the BMP format. The FITS and TIFF formats save all
of the information.
The Scale Factor and Zero Offset fields contain the factors used to convert the image from the orignal
data to an 8 bit image.
The View FITS Header option allows you to determine the information file contained within a FITS image.
Also displayed is the image's histogram.
