<title>Image enhancements</title>
<p>Select <gui>Smooth images when zoomed out</gui> and/or <gui>Smooth images when
zoomed in</gui> to enable <em>image smoothing</em>. This makes low-resolution
(pixelated) pictures look better by smoothing out jagged edges.</p>
<p>If you enable <gui>Automatic orientation</gui>, pictures will be
automatically rotated according to their <em>Exif metadata</em>. This is
information about a picture that is automatically inserted by a digital
camera, and can include details on which way up the camera was held when
the picture was taken. For example, when automatic orientation is
enabled, portrait photos are automatically rotated upright. The rotation
is not saved until you <link xref="flip-rotate#rotate">save the rotated
image</link>.</p>
<p>Automatic orientation does not work with all pictures; only pictures
taken using a camera that saves Exif orientation metadata will be rotated.</p>
