Options in the Images Tab
To access the Images Tab options, choose Options/Preferences. The "Preferences" dialog box opens, click on the Images tab to get the related options.
JPEG: Writing options
Image Quality - Specify the JPEG compression level (values from 1 to 99). A low compression level (1 to 10) produces small files but the image quality is very low. A high compression level (80 to 99) produces very good quality images but larger files.
WMF: Default Load Size
Width and Height - Specify the WMF default width and Height. WMF is a vector format. It means that it can be opened and displayed at any size without quality loss. To display it, the application needs to convert it to bitmap and need a default size to perform the conversion.
Kodak PhotoCD
Default Load Size - Specify the default Kodak PhotoCD® (PCD) load size. Kodak PhotoCD® is a multi-resolution format. It means that each PCD file includes several resolutions of the same picture. Small resolutions are fast to load but with poor quality. High resolutions have good quality but are memory consuming.
Image Display mode
Various - Click to set default image display to 'Various Scales'. It means that images will be initially displayed at scale 1:1 (with possibility to change scale)
Best Fit - Click to set default image display to 'Best Fit'. It means that images will be stretched to the maximum available size when displayed (within document windows or full screen). The image aspect ratio will always be kept.
Full Window - Click to set default image display to 'Full Window'. It means that images will be stretched to the maximum available size when displayed (within document windows or full screen). The image may be distorted when stretched.
Ignore Transparency Information in GIF files
GIF files contain transparency information. By default, the application reads this information and automatically converts the GIF image to a 32BPP bitmap with alpha channel transparency. If this option is chosen, the transparency information will be ignored (GIF only) and the image background will keep its original color (for compatibility with previous versions of the application).
