SIGMA Photo Pro User Guide 

 

22 

You can save the setting as an application setting by clicking the 

Save Setting

 button in the Adjustment 

Mode section of the Adjustment Controls Palette. Saving a setting as an 
application setting allows you to apply the setting to any other X3F image 
displayed in Photo Pro. 
 

 
You can also save a setting within an X3F file if you wish to replace the original capture 
settings with settings you’ve created. To replace a stored X3F setting, click the X3F button 
in the Adjustment Mode section of the Review Window or Adjustment Controls Palette. You 
can also store new X3F settings when you save an image by checking the option in the Save 

dialog box as you create TIFFs and JPEGs. The checkmark box remains checked the next 
time you save an image. 
 

 
When the X3F button is disabled, either the settings are in the process of being written to the 
file, or the saved X3F settings already reflect the same settings being applied to the image.

Opening Multiple Review Windows 

Having multiple Review Windows open lets you compare images or settings side-by-side. To display an 
additional Review Window, select 

File > Open New Review Window

 from the Main or Review Window 

menu. 

 

Once multiple Review Windows are open, double-clicking on any thumbnail in the Main Window will 
open the image in the topmost Review Window. 
 

Note:

 Each Review Window requires additional computer memory, so the program may run more slowly 

with multiple windows open. To optimize program performance, close Review Windows when not in use. 
 

Using multiple Review Windows to compare images 

Displaying similar images in several Review Windows side-by-side allows you to compare details such as 
composition, facial expressions, or focus before deciding which image you want to save.  
 

Using multiple Review Windows to compare modes 

Each Review Window retains its Adjustment Mode; any image displayed in the same Review Window will 
be processed using the retained Adjustment Mode. Displaying the same image in two different Review 
Windows side-by-side allows you to compare different modes.
