| The *Viewer* node is a temporary, in-process viewer. | |||||

| :kbd:`LMB` click on the image to update it, if it wasn't done automatically. | |||||
| You can use as many of these as you would like. | |||||
| It is possible to automatically plug a Viewer node to any other node by pressing :kbd:`Shift-Ctrl-LMB` on it. | |||||
| Using the UV/Image Editor Window | |||||
| ================================ | |||||
| The *Viewer* node allows results to be displayed in the UV/Image Editor. | |||||
| The image is facilitated by selecting the *IM:Viewer Node* on the window's header. | |||||
| The UV/Image Editor will display the image from the currently selected viewer node. | |||||
| To save the image being viewed, | |||||
| use the *Image→Save As* menu to save the image in a file. | |||||
| The UV/Image Editor also has three additional options in its header to view Images with or | |||||
