Customizing Photo
Explorer
When using any application, it is important for you to set up a work environment that's comfortable
and convenient for you. Photo Explorer provides many options that can change the look and feel of
what's on-screen to suit your needs. You can also make Photo Explorer as your default image viewer
and editor, or configure other programs to open and edit your images.
Setting up your work environment
Tip:
If you often do only simple edits with your images,
Photo Explorer can be an ideal image editor. To make
Photo Explorer your default image viewer and editor,
select the
Associate
category in the Preferences dialog
box and select the image file formats that you want to
automatically open in Photo Explorer.
The
Preferences
command in the
File
menu
allows you to define settings specific to Photo
Explorer. The Preferences dialog box lists
different categories which determine the
behavior of Photo Explorer, its overall
appearance, and the way thumbnails and images
are presented. Settings specific to your digital
camera can also be configured to ensure
accuracy in the information that is acquired
from your camera. Click a
category
to view and
change its settings in the Preferences dialog box.
The
View
menu provides commands that
determine the layout of Photo Explorer as well as
thumbnail display settings. You can also access
the Viewer from this menu. Use the available
commands to change the way files are displayed
and organized so that you can quickly identify
your files, or open up the Viewer to display your
images.
