Opening Image Files

In PhotoPlus, you can have several images open at the same time (depending on your computer’s memory), each in its own window. The window’s title bar is highlighted if it contains the active image (the one you’re currently working on). You can even open the same image in two windows; this lets you experiment while you keep the original picture in view.

You can open an image in two different ways: using the Album button or using the Open button.

Opening an Image in an Album

When you use albums, you see small “thumbnail” versions of your pictures. You can easily choose the image you want, even if you don’t remember the file name. Follow these steps:

1Click the Album button or choose Open Album from the File menu. The Album window appears, as shown to the right.

Click to open a different album.

Double-click thumbnail to open the picture.
