Story View (Desktop Library Page) - After you transfer your living pictures to your computer, from the Desktop Library Page you will see all of the pictures you have transferred so far, organized into one or more Stories:

To see more thumbnail images at once, drag the view slider-- in the lower left of the screen-- to the left. To see greater detail in each thumbnail image, drag the view slider to the right.
Bear in mind that the main Desktop LIbrary Page does not show full living pictures that can be refocused-- just a thumbnail of each picture, set to your most recent placement of focus.

Individual Picture View (Desktop Picture Page) - To view and explore a individual living picture, double-click any thumbnail image within your Stories to access the features of the Desktop Picture Page:

Refocus by clicking once anywhere within your picture. As you click, animated squares will "target" the point where you have placed the focus. You can refocus a picture as many times as you wish; you are not actually changing the picture, just revealing different aspects of that picture.

The most recent place you've clicked within a picture determines the default focus placement when uploading pictures to Lytro Web (and the permanent focus placement when exporting to JPG).
In addition to refocusing, you can also explore Perspective Shift on pictures which have previously had Perspective Shift enabled.

Review all the living pictures in that same Story, one by one, by clicking the blurred-out thumbnail images on either side of the current picture.
Delete or rotate the living picture in the center of the screen.
Get info, Star or Share a picture. To get info, click the small "i" info icon to see the date the picture was taken, as well as the shutter speed, ISO-equivalent, and focal length, plus aperture (which is always f/2). You can also star this picture or share this picture.
Enable Perspective Shift.
View Perspective Shift.
Add a Living Filter.

TIPS:

You can quickly return to the Desktop Library Page at any time by clicking "All Pictures" in the upper left, or by hitting the "Esc" key on your keyboard.
