Preview window

Preview window

Most WiseImage dialogs intended for enhancing and correcting images are equipped with a preview window, where the result of an operation on a selected image part can be observed while tuning its parameters.

The effects of tuning parameters are shown in the Preview window. Several preview windows can be opened, which allows the user to observe changes on several image fragments simultaneously.

The image part displayed in the left pane of the dialog is called a preview area. A colour frame on the image indicates the preview area margins. The preview area can be managed using the Preview Dragger toolbar, which appears when opening the dialog.

	Moves an image to place the preview area in the screen centre.
	Matches the current scale of a preview area with that of the preview window 1:1.
	Turns off the viewing of results in the preview window.

The user can change, if necessary, the position of a preview area in the image without changing its size. To do so, put the cursor in the preview window (the cursor becomes hand-shaped) and drag the cursor to the required part of the image.
