Flip and rotate

The orientation of the index thumbnails and prescan images can be changed with the flip and rotate buttons on the tool bar.

Rotate - the rotate-right button rotates the thumbnail 90° clockwise and the rotate-left button rotates the image 90° counterclockwise each time the buttons are clicked.

Flip - when an image is flipped, it creates a mirror image.

Grab tool

When an image is larger than the display area, the grab tool can be used to scroll the image. Click the grab button on the tool bar. Click and drag on the image to scroll. This tool cannot be used with the fit-to-window function (p. 29).

Magnifying tool

The display image can be enlarged or reduced. Click the magnifying button on the tool bar. Click on the image to enlarge. To reduce, hold down the control (Windows) or option key (Macintosh) and click on the image. When the image has reached the magnification limit, the plus or minus sign in the magnifying tool disap- pears. This tool cannot be used with the fit-to- window function (p. 29).

quee (dotted line).

 

The cropping area can also be adjusted manu-
