Image properties dialog box


Image size
Shows the width and height of the image in pixels.

Image size
Controls the width and height of the image in inches or centimeters, depending on the resolution units.

Image resolution
Controls the horizontal and vertical image resolution in pixels per inch or pixels per centimeter, depending on the resolution units.

unknown — Select this radio button if you don't want to specify the image resolution.

pixels / inch — Select this radio button to specify the image resolution in pixels per inch.

pixels / cm — Select this radio button to specify the image resolution in pixels per centimeter.

Isometric
Select this checkbox if you want the horizontal and vertical resolution to be the same.

NOTE: Controlling the image size and/or image resolution does not change the image. No image processing is involved.  Rather, the Image properties dialog box stores information with the image that may be used later to inform printing services (including The Panorama Factory's Print current image... command) of the desired print dimensions.

Save in project
Controls how the image is saved when the project is saved normally.  NOTE: Image recipes are always saved regardless of this option setting.

Image recipe only — Select this radio button to save only the recipe for recreating the image from its source image(s). When you select this radio button the image is not saved to a .tiff or .bmp file in the project. This can conserve disk space at the expense of execution time when you open the project later.

Image and recipe — Select this radio button to save both the recipe for recreating the image from its source image(s) and a .tiff or .bmp file. This can speed up response time at the expense of disk space.

Use project default — Select this radio button to let the Project properties dialog box control whether the image file is saved with the project.

Save in archive
Controls how the image is saved when the project is saved with the Save archive as... command (File menu).  NOTE: Image recipes are always saved regardless of this option setting.

Image recipe only — Select this radio button to save only the recipe for recreating the image from its source image(s). When you select this radio button the image is not saved to a .tiff or .bmp file. This can conserve disk space at the expense of execution time when you open the archive later.
