Creating records
The most common way to create a record is to select a source file
and acquire it.
When a source file is acquired, it is not altered in any way. The
program records file information and either creates and enters a
thumbnail of the source file (in the case of an image) or lets you
select one (in the case of a movie). When an audio file is acquired,
ImageAXS displays a default Audio File thumbnail.
A thumbnail is a small representation of the full resolution source
file that you acquire.
To acquire source files:
1. Choose Acquire Source File from the Source File menu.
The Acquire Files dialog box appears. You can also select
the files you want to acquire from Windows Explorer and
drag and drop them into an open collection, opening the
Acquire Files dialog box. Files which were dropped into
the collection window are listed in the Acquire Log in the
Acquire Files dialog box.
