The Image Parts also have the following functions for manipulation of an image as shown in Figure 136:

Approximate Colors This option will display an image using the available colors supported by your display.

High Quality Color Map This option translates the colors of the image so that they produce the best possible image on a 256-color display.

Gray scale colors This option allows the image to be displayed using shades of grey supported by your display.

If you select Image editor in the Open as submenu (see Figure 136), an image editor window will be displayed as shown in Figure 137.
