Using the Zoom/Scale Feature

The bottom part of the Capture Editor includes a toolbar that lets you use zoom/scale features to better see your image.

You can use some of the buttons in this toolbar to adjust the display of the image in the Capture Editor. Some of these options are also available from the ribbon and menu interfaces. Please note that the image is scaled only so that you can more easily see it in the editor. The actual image size is not adjusted for the output.

How to Use the Zoom/Scale Feature

  1. Open an image.
  2. Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:
    • Ribbon Select the View ribbon and click one of the following.

      Increases the scale of the image each time you click the button.

      Reduces the scale of the image each time you click the button.

      Resets the scale of the image to 100%.

      Scales the image so that its width fits in the Capture Editor.

      Scales the image so that its height fits in the Capture Editor.

      ClosedSwitching between ribbons and the tool strip… You can use the Interface tab of the Options dialog (File > Options) to switch between ribbons and the classic tool strip layout.

      ClosedMore about ribbon options… Keep in mind that the smaller the application window becomes, the more the options in a ribbon shrink. Therefore, you might only see a small icon instead of text, or you might see only a section name displayed with a down arrow to access the options in it. You can hover over small icons to see tooltips that describe them. You can also enlarge the application window or click one of the section drop-downs in the ribbon to locate a hidden feature.

    • Keyboard Shortcut Press CRTL++ to use the Zoom In feature or CRTL+- to use the Zoom Out feature.
    • Local Toolbar Click one of the following buttons in the bottom toolbar of the Capture Editor.

      Lets you select a specific percentage to scale the image.

      Reduces the scale of the image each time you click the button.

      Resets the scale of the image to 100%.

      Increases the scale of the image each time you click the button.

      Scales the image so that its width fits in the Capture Editor.

      Scales the image so that its height fits in the Capture Editor.

      Shows arrows on each side of an object when you click it. You can then click any of the arrows to set the anchors. This lets you lock the position of the object in place.

      Lets you show or hide the colored shading of objects to which condition tags have been applied.

      Lets you see how an image will look in the final output with conditions applied. It hides any objects that are set to be excluded from that image. See Previewing Conditions.

      Lets you work with grids in the frame, including showing/hiding them, snapping objects to the grid, and editing grids. See Working With Grids.

      Opens the Apply Profile dialog, which lets you apply all of the settings from a profile to the open image. See Applying Profiles to Images.

      Detaches the profile from the open image. Any settings previously added to the image when you first applied it (e.g., border, shapes) will remain in the image. The image is simply no longer associated with the profile. See Detaching Profiles From Images.

      Lets you see which profile, if any, is associated with the open image. If you click the button, the profile opens. In addition, if the image is associated with a profile and that profile has since been modified, this button will indicate it in red. You can then reapply the profile to the image so that it has the most up-to-date settings.
