4.9 The Document Attributes
The Document Attributes dialog is used to get a quick overview of the
settings and attributes of the active document.
Most properties can be edited by double-clicking or by clicking the
Edit-button and can be deleted by clicking the paper basket. But not all are
editable or deletable. Some can only be edited and some can only be
deleted.
The document tab shows always the following properties:
- the size
- the working mode (see chapter 2.11)
- The Attributes Dialog is the only way to switch from the picture mode to
the document mode explicitly. The other way round from the document
mode to the picture mode is only possible, if the first layer in the
document is an image having the same size as the document.
- the ICC profile
- The ICC color profile is used to define the color space of the document
(see chapter 7.6.15).
- Document Information and EXIF data
- These points give you access to most important metadata (XMP, IPTC
and EXIF, see chapter 2.14). A double-click allows you to quickly
access Document Information (see chapter 7.4.90).
- position and size of the lasso
- If there is a lasso, its size and position are shown. Double-clicking this
entry allows to change the lasso size numerically.
- text register
- Text register allows to overlay the pages of the document with a line
raster. A paragraph can be aligned to this raster by using "Text in
Register" (see chapter 6.2.13, "The Tool Settings Of The Text Tool",
subpoint "Paragraph Settings"). This results in a better looking text, if
there are multiple columns or both sides of a sheet of paper are used for
printing.
- Antialiasing
- Antialiasing sets the default antialiasing of a document’s layers when
dispalying, printing, or saving. If the value is set to Default, the global
setting Antialias (see chapter 7.2.16) is used. Layers also have their own
antialising setting (see chapter 4.11).
Beside that a document often contains print options (see chapter 5.8).
