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. Change Image Display 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.

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.

Change Image Display

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.

Scan Images

You can create image documents by scanning forms, memos, pictures, or other paper documents

to an image file.

Sharpdesk Imaging supports TWAIN-compatible devices such as scanners and digital cameras.

NOTE:

For best results, save scanned documents in TIFF format.

Annotate Images

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
