The command creates a new image
window for the current image, which you can set up differently from
the existing display. You can create multiple views of any image, which
are numbered .1, .2, etc., but only the zoom factor and other viewing
options may be different. Any changes, other than viewing changes,
which you make in one window also appear in the other displays which
show the same image. The new views are not separate image files; they
are simply different aspects of the same image. You might use multiple
views, for example, if you were working on individual pixels at a high
zoom factor. You could then see the effects your changes would have on
the image at a normal size.
