Graphical Procedure Writing Software includes several built-in image-editing
functions to ensure your image is clear and informative. These functions display on the right side of the
Edit Image window and let you:
• Make the entire image darker or lighter.
• Increase or decrease the contrast between the light and dark areas of the image.
• Crop the photo to display only the area you want to include.
• Rotate the image as much as you want.
• Zoom the image larger or smaller.
• Remove the image completely.
• Reduce the overall image size.
Each adjustment you make to the image will be reflected in the preview window as soon as you make
it. You can also dynamically change the magnification level of the image to see a close-up or more
distant view by clicking the zoom-in or zoom-out buttons in the editing controls section of the window.
To edit an image in a procedure:
1. Open the image in the Edit Image window:
Note: When you add an image to a procedure, a copy is created and stored with the
procedure. As a result, you can crop and otherwise modify an image for the procedure
without affecting the original image file.
2. Adjust:
• Brightness: Click and hold your cursor on the slider and move it to the left to make the picture
lighter, or to the right to make it darker.
•
Contrast: Click and hold your cursor on the slider and move it to the left to reduce or to the right
to increase the contrast.
3. To crop the image:
• Click the Crop button.
• Drag your cursor to outline the area of the image you want to keep. The mouse will draw a
rectangle where you move it.
• Release the mouse button to crop the area outside the rectangle.
4. To rotate the image, click the Rotate button once. Each time you click Rotate, the image
rotates 90
o
clockwise.
5. To zoom the image larger or smaller, click the Zoom controls. .
6. To save memory by reducing the image file size, click Reduce. Repeat this step to reduce the
image size even more.
Note: Reducing the image size also reduces the image quality.
7. If you do not want to keep the editing changes you have made, click Reset. All edits you made will
be undone and the image in the preview window will look as it did when you first opened it.
Note: The Reset button only cancels the edits you make before you click OK. If you edit an
image, close this window and then come back, the edits you made previously can no longer
be reset.
