A description of the image is then displayed in the JAWS Results Viewer window. For example, after pressing <strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>INSERT+SPACEBAR, P</span></strong> to activate the Picture Smart layer, you could press <strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>F</span></strong> to describe the currently selected image in File Explorer, or <strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif'>C</span></strong> to describe a photo from a social media website like Facebook.
