Preview-Window

The Preview is a very useful feature while testing complicated scripts.
It applies the current-Process-script to a smaller version
of the picture specified in the  SinglePicture-Window .
The change of any parameter is visible in the Process-Window
instantly (on fast machines). To abort the geneneration of
the preview hold the left mouse-button.
The width and depth of the preview can be specified from within the
 SinglePicture-Window .
A width of 160 and a depth of 4 is a should be always good choice.


The original width of the input-image is displayed in the
window title. This may be sometimes important adjusting size-dependant
parameters.


If you used a "normal" image-processor before you may have enjoyed
the feature of graphically specifing parameters like dragging a
rectangle for a Crop-effect. This "parameter-dragging" is
available in Wildfire, too.
The  ImageCoordinates-Window 
allows you to graphically modify some types of controls inside the
Preview-Window. The parameters of this controls (point, circle,
or rectangle) can be applied to several effects.


Shortcuts:
<space>       refresh the image (e.g. after aborting)
<c>           open the  ImageCoordinates-Window
