4. The Screen Setup of PhotoLine
4.19 The View-Dialog

The
View-Dialog has four subdialogs.
- Page Map
- The map contains a minimized view of the active document and is
showing the visible area. You can change the visible area by clicking and
dragging. If you drag a corner of the inverted area the zoom factor is
changed. The map also has a context menu containing the most
important zoom functions.
- By the way: the card can be used with a modal dialog onscreen, too.
- Magnifier
- The Magnifier shows an enlarged view of the piece of the document at
the current mouse position. It has three working modes. Document
shows the whole document, Layer the active layer and Selection only
the current selection (see chapter 2.4.2). The modes Layer and Selection
allow to define a background color. This is especially useful for
Selection, because by choosing an appropriate background color you can
control the quality of your selection more easily.
- Documents
- Documents lists the currently opened documents.
- Pages
- Pages lists the pages of the active document.
