Edit Commands

The following commands make up the Edit sub-menu of the main menu.

Image Info

The Image Info dialog box displays properties of the current image.

Edit Transformation

This command edits the transformation for the current image – similar to double-clicking on its thumbnail in the image browser. The transformation’s dialog box is displayed to let you change the settings.

Full Screen

This command displays the current image as large as possible on the primary monitor on a black background and hides the cursor. If the image would need to be zoomed in to fill the screen, it is displayed at 1:1 instead. Depending on the image, there may be a delay before the image appears since it may need to be converted to 24-bit color, resampled and converted to the monitor color space. To return to normal display, click the mouse anywhere or press any key.

Copy Image to Clipboard

Copies the current image to the Windows clipboard.

Paste Image from Clipboard

Pastes an image, if any, from the Windows clipboard as a new top-level image. This command is grayed out if the clipboard does not contain an image.

If you double-click a Paste thumbnail image in the image browser or select the Edit Transformation command, a dialog box pops up with three options:

Cancel aborts the operation.

Replace File... replaces the current image with a new one pasted from the clipboard. All other images that depend on the file are then recalculated.

Clone Current Branch... pastes a new top-level image from the clipboard and creates a side branch parallel to the current branch which is identical except based on the new top-level image.

Select Previous

Selects the image just above the current image.

Select Next

Selects the image just below the current image.

Move Up

Moves the current image up one position on the current branch.

Move Down

Moves the current image down one position on the current branch.

Move Left

Moves the current side-branch left one position, if possible.

Move Right

Moves the current side-branch right one position, if possible.

Add Splitter After

Inserts a splitter with two branches just below the current transformation or branch. The left branch of the splitter continues with the images, if any, below the current image. The right branch of the splitter is empty. Splitters create duplicates of the image above them which appear in a row below the splitter, connected by lines. Each of these images starts its own independent side branch -- changes you make to one branch do not affect the others. The splitter does not actually make copies – the duplicates are just link back to the original image.

Add Branch to Splitter

Adds a new, empty branch to the current splitter. Use this command when you want to attach an additional side branch to an existing splitter. This command can also be used if the current image is a branch, in which case it adds a new side branch to the splitter just above the current image.

Clone Branch

If the current transformation is a top-level transformation, a new top-level branch is created and the current branch is copied to it.

If the current transformation is a side branch, a new branch is added to the splitter just above it and the side branch is copied to the new branch.

Otherwise, a splitter is inserted just above the current transformation and the current branch is copied to the empty branch of the splitter.

Use this command to explore an alternate scenario for a transformation and the ones below it on the same branch.  Right-click on the transformation then select the Clone Branch from the context menu (or click on the transformation to select it and then pick Edit/Clone Branch from the main menu). Cloning a branch creates a copy of all the transformations. You can then modify the new transformations to see the effects of changing settings or adding or removing transformations and compare them to the original branch which remains undisturbed.

Convert to Copy

This command replaces the at the top of the current branch (typically a File Open or a Paste transformation) with a Copy transformation. After doing this, once you select an image to copy, the subsequent operations are then applied. This effectively changes the branch from one that can only process one or more files to one that can process any image, even if it is in the middle of a branch.

Count Colors

Counts the number of unique colors in the current image and displays the result. For 48-bit color images, the number of unique 24-bit colors is counted.

Toggle Breakpoint
Delete All Breakpoints

These commands let you set and clear breakpoints for use with batch processing.
