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
image viewer and editor.

Setting up your work environment

File: Preferences

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 appear-
ance, and the way thumbnails and images are
presented. Click a category to view and change
its settings in the Preferences dialog box.

View menu

The View menu offers commands that
determine the layout of Photo Explorer, as
well as thumbnail display settings. Use the
available commands to change the way files
are displayed and organized so that you can
quickly identify your files.

If you usually 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.

Note: See the section “Browsing and
managing files” on page 10 for more

Preferences dialog box
