You can display a single image in the window, display thumbnail views of the images contained 
in a multi-page image document, or display an image page and thumbnails together. 
 

 

Using Imaging for Windows, you can save a displayed image in one of the following formats: 

• 

.TIFF  

• 

.BMP  

• 

.JPEG  

• 

.AWD (Windows 95 and Windows 98 only)

In some cases, converting from one format to another causes the source image to permanently 
lose certain attributes. For example, if you save a color .BMP file to .AWD format (which is black 
and white only), the saved image is converted to black and white. If you convert the .AWD image 
back to .BMP, the color information that was lost in the first conversion cannot be recovered. 

You can change the image display by zooming to increase or decrease the size of the image, by 
sizing the image for the best fit, or sizing it to fit the height or width of a window. You can also 
rotate an image left, right, or 180 degrees. Rotating an image is useful if you scanned landscape 
images using a scanner's sheet feeder, or if you fed a stack of documents into the scanner's 
document feeder backwards (180 degrees from the desired orientation). 
Thumbnail images can be made larger to display more detail, or smaller to fit more of them in the 
window. You can also drag and drop thumbnails to change the order of pages in the image 
document. 

You can create image documents by scanning forms, memos, pictures, or other paper documents 
to an image file.  
Imaging for Windows Professional Edition supports TWAIN-compatible devices such as 
scanners and digital cameras. 

NOTE:  For best results, save scanned documents in TIFF format. 

You can add a variety of markups to an image by using Annotation features, and then save the 
annotations with the image. Examples of annotations include: 

•  Freehand or straight-line markings  
•  Highlighter  
•  Hollow and filled rectangles  
•  Attach-a-note text  
•  Text from a file  
•  Customizable rubber stamps such as “Received” or an image such as your company logo  
•  Hyperlinks  
 
Several of these annotations have properties that can be set, such as color, line width, and font. 
A hyperlink is a special type of annotation that you can use to link to a file, a Uniform Resource 
Locator (URL) on the World Wide Web, or to a page in an image document. 
The document HQ.TIF is included in the Samples folder of this product. This example of an 
annotated document page includes hyperlinks to other pages within the document. Click on the 
text within the rectangles drawn on the map to jump to the photographs on pages 2 and 3 of the 
document. Click on the designated area of the street address on the map to jump to Eastman 
Software's Homepage on the World Wide Web.

When the 
annotation 
icon appears 
next to a 
thumbnail's 
page number, 
it means the 
page contains 
one or more 
annotations. 

You can create a contact sheet that contains a thumbnail rendition of each page of an image 
document, similar to a photographic contact sheet that displays images of each negative on a roll 
of film. Before you create the contact sheet, you can globally set the thumbnail size 

 larger to 

display more detail, or smaller, to fit more thumbnails onto the contact sheet. To create a contact 
sheet, choose the Create Contact Sheet command from the Tools menu. 
 

 

During scanning and faxing, documents can pick up small speckles of dust that degrade the 
image. The Remove Speckles option electronically processes the document to remove these.

Using the Straighten Page option from the Tools menu, you can straighten an image that is 
crooked in relation to the background page. After you draw a reference line on the displayed 
document, the application rotates the image to the correct orientation. 
You can specify a portion of the image to crop or let the program automatically crop the edges of 
a displayed image for you. 

This section guides you through some basic operations when working with the Imaging 
application. For additional information, refer to the on-line Help.
