Using the Mouse to Control the Scan Dialog
The mouse cursor changes shape depending on where the cursor is positioned
within the Scan dialog box.
When the cursor is located over the text portion of the scan dialog box the cursor
assumes the shape of an arrow, as seen in Figure 7.17. The cursor will be in the shape of
an arrow when buttons are clicked, selections are made in a selection box, or when text
or numbers are entered into value edit boxes.
Figure 7.17 Arrow cursor.
When the mouse cursor is located over the image area in the Scan dialog box, but
not within the crop rectangle, it assumes the shape of a crosshair, as shown in Figure
7.18. The color of the crosshair changes to provide contrast with the image. For exam-
ple, if the cursor is located over a black or dark area the cursor will change to a light
color, and vice versa in white or light areas. The appearance of the crosshair cursor indi-
cates that a new crop rectangle will be drawn if the mouse is clicked and dragged.
