the same size as your original image. The new image will appear with the center of view
in the same relative position as in the original image.

appear centered and at 100% magnification.
Distance Tool and Cropping Tool Now Modes in imtool
The Distance tool and Cropping tool have been modified. Now to use the Distance tool,
you click one end of the distance to be measured, drag, and release to complete the
measurement. With the new version of the Cropping tool, you may click and drag to
define the cropping region as many times as you want. If you define one region and then
decide to crop a different region instead, simply click and drag the mouse again to define
the new region.
Compatibility Considerations
In previous releases, the Distance tool appeared as a horizontal bar of set length. You
could drag the ends of the tool to change size and orientation.
In previous releases, if you defined one cropping region, you could move this box or
change the size, but you couldn't start with a new box unless you canceled the tool,
clicked on the “Crop Image” toolbar button, and then defined the new region.
In imtool Opening Adjust Contrast Tool No Longer Selects Window/Level
Tool
When you open the Adjust Contrast tool, the Window/Level tool is no longer turned
on automatically. To operate this feature, simply select the Window/Level tool icon
from the Image Tool toolbar. (To identify the icon, note that if you move the cursor over
the Window/Level tool icon, the words “Adjust contrast/brightness via mouse motion”
appear.) Or, you can select “Tools” from the Image Tool menu and then click on “Window/
Level.”
