The filmstrip can be used to quickly switch between images. The images shown are the same as those displayed in the lighttable view and are defined by the currently-selected collection.
The filmstrip panel allows users to quickly switch between images in the currently-selected collection without leaving the current view. It sits under the centre panel in all views except lighttable where it is replaced by the timeline panel. It can be switched on and off using the shortcut Ctrl+F.

The following shortcuts can be used to select images in the filmstrip:

- `Ctrl+A` selects all images in the filmstrip

- `Ctrl+Shift+A` deselects all images

- `Ctrl+I` inverts the current selection

The following shortcuts can be used to perform operations on the selected images
**navigation**
- `space` moves forward one image in the filmstrip

- `backspace` moves backward one image in the filmstrip

- `scroll` with the mouse allows you to navigate through the images in the filmstrip

- `shift+scroll` increases scroll speed

**actions on the selected images**
- `F1, F2, F3, F4, F5` adds or removes a color label (red, yellow, green, blue, purple, respectively). A color label will be added if _any_ selected image does not currently have the label; otherwise the label will be removed

- `0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5` sets the star rating

And now it's been changed to a simple click for the first image and double-click to switch images in darkroom view.
