STARTING
I
MAGEAXS
To start ImageAXS, open the folder in the Finder where you installed
the ImageAXS files, then double-click the ImageAXS application
icon.
If you are using ImageAXS for the first time, you will see an empty
window with the ImageAXS menu bar at the top of the screen. (If
you have used ImageAXS before, any collection that was open when
you last closed the program will automatically open.)
OPENING A COLLECTION
To start working with ImageAXS, you must open a collection.
If you have not created any collections (for example, if you are using
ImageAXS for the first time), you can either create a new collection
(see Chapter 5, “Creating and Adding to a Collection”) or open the
sample collection. Opening and viewing the sample collection is a
good way to learn the basic features of ImageAXS (see Chapter 3,
“Viewing Collections”).
To open the sample collection:
STEP 1 Choose Open Collection from the File menu (z-O).
A dialog box appears, prompting you to select a collection
to open.
