Project Menu

What is a project ?

In Photonyx terminology a project is not only the image you open to work on it. There is more. If the file contains layers or others objects they are saved with the main image and you can modifiy each one separately. To do this Photonyx uses is own native format which is already designed to support further developpements in imaging planned at Chrome, thus this format also matches the open technology leitmotiv of the whole programm.

Remember that you can open as many projects sumultaneously as you want and any modification you make within each project is kept in memory so you can go back to previous steps using the edit/undo option.

The project menu has different commands :

  • New, to open a new Photonyx project
  • Open, to open an existing project or image
  • Close the current project
  • Save to save your current project as a project with the current settings.
  • Save As displays a dialog box to assign a name, format, and location.
  • Save All to save all the modifications in all projects open in the current session.
  • Save image
  • Import
  • Export
  • Print displays a dialog box to enter printing preferencies
  • Preferences to enter customised preferences about the program's configuration
