Top Navigation Bar
Image Menu
The “Image” menu allows you to process the user’s current active image much like the selection modification
in the “Edit” menu, with tools such as rotation, adjustment levels, cropping, scaling, and more.
Mode - This menu option encompasses three camera mode options: “Color Quantize,” “Grey Scale,” and “Con -
trast Preserving Decoloratization.” While sounding complex, they are rather simple. “CQ” allows you to select
image bit values (most commonly used is 8 bit or 24 bit), “Grey Scale” allows you to convert the image from
color to grey, and “CPD” does the same as grey scale, while preserving contrast for additional detail.
Adjust - Much like Photoshop, the “Adjust” section encompasses a number of potential adjustments to your
image, ranging from brightness/contrast to enhancing details, refining edges, and color replacement.
Rotate - The “Rotate” section allows the user to turn the image angularly in preset degrees, or arbitrarily with
an input value.
Crop - The “Crop” tool is used to remove excess sections from the image outside of the region of interest. Shift
+ C is the keyboard shortcut for the “Crop” tool.
Scale - The “Scale” function is used with a captured image to enlarge or reduce the digital resolution of the im -
age while resampling the image. This does not add more detail (optical resolution), just more/less pixels.
Histogram - The “Histogram” tool allows the user to view the different color and light channels for a previously
captured image. Useful in attempting to recreate a comparison image to another sample.
Resolution - The “Resolution” function opens the like named menu which allows a user to set a type of mea -
surement per pixel, much like calibrating, but for a property of the image, instead of a recallable measurement
at a given magnification. Tells another user when transferring the file what measurement scale was used.
Mosaic - The “Mosaic” function is similar to the “Stitch” function, however, is used to process any open images
into a single image--usually used to create side by side comparison images.
