Image Information Command

This command presents a dialog box containing the displayed image's name, dimensions, and number of colors.


Slide Show Command

This command allows viewing multiple image files from a directory with little or no intervention on your part. When started, this command pops up a dialog box to set up the slide show.

In the dialog box is a list of image files in the current area. Use the mouse or keyboard to highlight one or more files to view. You can click on the Mark All button to highlight every file, and the Unmark All to remove every file from the selection queue. Select a file by clicking on the file name.

Images larger than the screen are normally scaled to fit the display area. You can change this behavior in Program Defaults.

You have several options to control the slide show while it is in progress:

Pressing a key or left-clicking on the image bypasses the time out interval and immediately moves on to the next image in the show.

Pressing the space bar pauses the slide show at the current image. Press any key or click on the image to restart the show.

Edit Screen
Edit Window

Use the Edit window to modify, print, or export an image. A wide range of modification commands are available. Edit any image from its viewing window by clicking on the Edit Button on the toolbar or by selecting Edit from the image's context menu (accessible by right-clicking the mouse on the image).

Across the top of the screen is a toolbar containing buttons to flip, rotate, clip, export, and print the image. On the right sidebar there is a display of the current image size (in pixels), a color reduction box, a size control box, and the close button. These controls are your tools to modify the image. Click on a link below for information about a particular control.

Flip Horizontal	Flip Vertical

Rotate	Clip and Copy All

Export Image	Print Image

Color Reduction	Resize Image


Flip Horizontal
Flip Horizontal  mirrors the image horizontally. This has the effect of showing the image backwards.


Flip Vertical
Flip Vertical mirrors the image vertically. This has the effect of showing the image upside down.


Rotate Image
Rotate turns the image 90 degrees clockwise every time you click it.


Export Image
Export copies the image to a drive and directory of your choice in one of several popular graphic file formats. See Exporting Images.


Color Reduction

You can manually reduce the number of colors in an image from the edit window. On the right side of the screen there are several color options ranging from black and white to 256 colors. Choose a setting by clicking the mouse on it. The image is dithered (if required) and changed to the number of colors specified. NOTE: Color promotion beyond 256 colors (or the number of colors supported by your current video driver) is not supported.

You may also set the dithering method used by the program. Click on the Set Dither Type button to produce a dialog of the supported dithering methods. The editor defaults to the second best quality dither.

Exporting Images to Other Formats

Export an image from the viewing window by clicking the Export button on the toolbar or by selecting Export from the image's context menu (accessible by right-clicking the mouse on the image). A standard Windows dialog box appears prompting you for the drive, directory, and name of the file to save. Enter a name and click the OK button to save the image.

The program looks to the extension of the name you provide to know which image format to save the file as, regardless of the image type highlighted in the dropdown box on the dialog. Not providing an extension causes the program to save the image as a bitmap.

You can also export images from the Edit window by clicking on the export button on the edit window toolbar. Please note that exporting the image from the edit window saves the modified version of the image and not the original version.

Resizing Images

Images can be resized from the edit window. On the right hand side of the screen is a percent display and a command button contained in a frame. Use the spinner to run the image size anywhere from 25% to 150% of its original size. The image is not redrawn until you click the Redraw button or perform some other function (such as color reduction) that performs a redraw.

The actual image dimensions (in pixels) are displayed on the upper right-hand side of the screen. Scroll bars appear as necessary.

Edit Window


Viewing Window

The program shows each image in a separate window called the viewing window. Each viewing window has a toolbar containing buttons to various commands. You may turn the toolbar off and on from the popup menu, described below. Set the default action for the toolbar in Program Defaults.

Clicking the right mouse button on an image brings a pop-up menu to the screen providing access to all the major functions of the program. This popup menu is called the context menu since it contains options which apply to the current image context. In order, the available options are:

Information (on the current image)

Scaling (covered in more detail below)

Toolbar - turn the toolbar on and off

Edit Image

Export Image

Print Image

Close Menu

Click on a menu item with the mouse or highlight the selection and press Enter. The Close Menu option above provides a handy way of closing the pop-up menu should you decide not to do anything at this time.

The viewing window also gives you some flexibility over how you display images. The scaling options mentioned above affect both the behavior and size of the current viewing window only and does not affect any other window on the screen. Set the default scaling option for all viewing windows in Program Defaults. Listed below are the available scaling options and notes on their operation.

Window Scaled to Image Size

In this scaling mode the viewing window changes its size to accomodate the size of the image being viewed. Attempting to resize the window has no effect. If the image is larger than the screen, parts of the window will not be visible.

Image Scaled to Window Size

This mode scales images to fit within the current size of the viewing window, expanding or reducing the image as required. The program displays the image in the viewing window without changing the window size or location. Resizing the window causes the image to be rescaled. while maintaining the proper aspect ratio for the image at all times. This is the default scaling option.

No Scaling

No scaling causes the program to use the viewing window as a viewport into the current image. If the image is larger than the viewing window, the program provides scrollbars for image browsing. Resizing the window shows more or less of the image depending on the size of the image.

NOTE: The number of concurrent viewing windows is limited only by free system resources. The program keeps an eye on the amount of resources and refuses to load an image if the system resource level drops below 20 percent. Also, all viewing windows must share the same system palette. As such, the palette of whichever image has the focus (that is, whichever one is on top) takes precedence over all others. The program remaps all inactive images to the palette of the active image, attempting to make the best matches it can. This results in a momentary color shifting of all images on the screen while changing or loading images. This is normal behavior.

Program Defaults


Properties Sheet
Program Defaults

The properties sheet holds all default settings for the program. Access the properties sheet from the File menu by selecting Program Defaults.

Across the top of the page are two tabs. Click on a tab to get to the settings for different areas of the program. The View Window tabs sets defaults for viewing windows and the program itself. Settings here affect all viewing windows when they first load. The Slide Show tab sets options for controlling slide shows.

These options take affect after you close the options window or when you click the Apply button. Changes in scaling options do not affect image windows already on the screen.
