Opening and Closing Files
Opening files with layers active in Composer
When working with layers, OMEGA assumes that all jobs have at least one layer. Depending
on the file type that you are opening, the following applies:
♦
For a file type that does NOT support layers, the file opens in Composer with a single
layer which has the same name as the file.
♦
For a file type that supports layers you can choose to:
♦
Turn on Keep Layers and the file opens maintaining its layers with their
existing layer names.
♦
Clear Keep Layers to ignore the layers and the file opens with a single layer
which has the same name as the file.
To open existing files
1
Click File > Open or click the Open button on the Standard Toolbar. The Open dialog
box appears.
2
Choose the file type and the file name.
3
If the file that you are opening is an image file it is linked by default. Turn on the
Embed Images check box to embed images in the job. If you are opening a PLT file, the
state of any images in the file (embedded or linked) is maintained.
Note: Embedded images cannot be unembedded. You must delete the embedded image and
reimport it as a linked file.
