3.7 The Picture Display


The functions of the picture display are always available when you can see a picture. Move the mouse pointer to the picture and press the right-hand mouse button to open a context menu.

Calling up the picture display

           
1. Title card   2. Data sheet   3. Content list  
 
 
 


Please note that you can never tell to begin with whether a photo has been linked at all. Thus, you will no doubt sometimes press the "f" key, without a photo being shown! Don't let this disturb you. Not all entries have a picture documentation appended at present.
1. You can display photos by pressing the "f" key if only the card form of an entry is shown. If several photos are linked, you can scroll through the photo collection with "Arrow up/down" (previously Picture up/down).
2. If the cursor is positioned in a data sheet on a reference to which a photo is in turn linked, you can also display this photo by pressing the "f".
3. If you are in a Contents list, you must press the key combination ALT + "f" in order to display any photo that might be linked.


The reference list

  continue            
1. Menu  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The reference list contains at most 16 pictures and is used for comparative viewing in the double and overview display
1. In the context menu related to the picture (right-hand mouse button), you can add a picture to the reference list or remove one. In addition, you have the option of deleting the entire reference list.

Change display size

             
1. Whole Picture   1. Original size  
 
 
 
 
 

The function "Whole picture/Original size" shows a digital picture in different sizes.
1. "Whole picture" displays the picture zoomed to screen size.
2. Original size displays the picture in its true pixel size, in other words one pixel of screen resolution is equal to one pixel of the scan.

Modify display

           
1. Contrast   2. Sharpness   3. Brightness  
 
 
 

Three options are available for temporary picture processing.
1. "Increase contrast" can prove useful when viewing written documents.
2. "Increase sharpness" is used to better distinguish lines in fine line drawings, for example.
3. "Increase brightness" enables you, for example, to better study shaded areas whose fine nuances are not visible to the human eye under normal circumstances.

Double display

               
1. Double picture  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In the double display mode, two pictures are always shown next to each other, just like a double projection in a lecture. However, the left-hand picture remains in place and only in the right-hand half of the display can you scroll through previously marked pictures. The fixed left-hand picture can at all times be exchanged for the picture just appearing on the right. This means that all pictures can be compared with each other. To be able to start the double display, a picture must be currently displayed and you must have previously marked other pictures.
1. Start the double picture display with the appropriate item in the context menu. With "Arrow up/down", scroll through the reference list on the left. "Arrow left" moves the right-hand picture to the left as a fixed point. All of the functions of picture display are available.

Overview display

               
1. Overview  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The overview display shows all of the pictures currently saved in the reference list.
1. Call up the overview display via the respective item in the context menu. All of the functions of picture display are available.
