When you open Mirage you'll notice a thumbnail list of images on the left, a small menu bar at the top, a small toolbar, title bar across the top, status bar across the bottom, and your image.
You can disable or turn-off the Toolbar, Thumbnails Pane, and Status Bar by unchecking each option within the View menu.
You can advance to the next image in your list by pressing the Spacebar or pressing the Page Down button. You can more back to the previous image by clicking the Page Up button.
You can also navigate through your images by right-click on your image and click on Next Image or Previous Image.
By default, Mirage does not start back to the first image after you reach the last image in your list; however, you can turn this feature on by going into the Mirage Preferences dialog box, select the Navigation tab, and change the option to the right of Wrap around imagelist from No to Yes.
Here's a look through the different menus.

Mirage does a great job with animated .gif files, but it does not support the .webp file format.
