+Change Image Viewer to feel more natural to use.
+
+#Changes to Image viewer:
+
+- Fixed Zoom Gestures generally not working on mobile.
+- Changed the % number in the top right to reflect the zoom of the original image as opposed to the change from it fitting the container.
+- Made Zoom Pill allow inputing custom values
+- Added a button thta zooms you to the Original Size of the Image, and button to return to the Actual size of the image
+- Made Images have the `pixelated` tag, and start zoomed in when smaller than container to enhance the experience of viewing pixelart, with the pixelated tag being applied to images in the chat aswell.
+- Transitions are now disabled for manual panning to improve responsiveness
