Views

The functionality in Ansel is separated into six different views:

Lighttable
Manage images and collections. It is the main view and can be accessed from anywhere in the software by hitting the Escape key.
Darkroom
Develop a single image. It can be accessed from the lighttable by double-click on a thumbnail or by hitting the Enter key when a picture is selected.
Map
Show geo-tagged images on a map and manually geo-tag new images. It is an optional view hidden by default, it can be enabled in the preferences.
Print
Send images to a printer for self-made prints. It is an optional view hidden by default, it can be enabled in the preferences. This view is not available on Windows since it relies on CUPS .
Slideshow
Display images as a slideshow, processing them on-the-fly. It is an optional view hidden by default, it can be enabled in the preferences.

You can switch between views by clicking the view name at the top of the right-hand panel (the currently active view is highlighted).
