8.2.6. The Image Selection Tool
Selecting the
icon from the ARTS PDF Aerialist Professional tool bar will activate the
image selection tool shown below.
Use this tool to select an image to be edited. When an image is selected it will be
highlighted by a dashed line around the image, plus eight small squares – one on each
corner of the image, and one each at the center of the left, right, top and bottom edges.
An image may be moved anywhere on the page by clicking and holding in the center of
the image, then dragging it to the desired location. An image may be resized by clicking
and holding one of the eight squares around the edges, then dragging in the desired
direction. If more precise positioning or scaling are needed, use the Image Tools
functions instead.
After an image is selected it can be cut, copied, or pasted using the standard keyboard
shortcuts. In Windows these are Control+X = Cut; Control+C = Copy, and Control+V =
Paste. On the Macintosh substitute the “Command” key for “Control”. Copy and paste
operations on whole images can be performed only on the current PDF document. Copy
and paste operations of selected areas from within the Image Editor can be performed
on images within the current document, or between images in different documents.
8.2.7. The Images Menu
From the Acrobat menu you can activate the Images functions. Image Tools, Document
Tools, Edit Image, Despeckle, Extract Image or Replace Image may also be activated by
double-clicking on an image with the image selection tool. Settings in the preferences
determine which of these functions is activated by double-click. For this section, we will
assume that all functions are activated from the drop-down menu shown here.
All functions except ‘Document Tools’, and ‘New Image...’ will be grayed out unless an
image is currently selected using the image selection tool.
8.2.7.1. Image Tools...
This launches the main Images toolset window. See the
