The buttons in the Preview Pane varies,
depending on the type of file being viewed.
Note: When Photo Explorer 7.0
rotates an image, it adds
information to the JPEG file to
indicate the correct thumbnail
rotation. However, if you have
previously rotated images using
the earlier Photo Explorer 6.0
version, you may see a mismatch
between the rotation of the image
and that of the thumbnail. In this
case, select View: Regenerate
Thumbnails to recreate
thumbnails.
The size of the cache folder is defined in
the Preferences dialog box under the
Cache category. Increase the Cache size
if you want to allot more disk space for
thumbnail files. To delete thumbnail files
and recover disk space, click the Clear
Cache button.
Since many digital cameras can now
automatically create thumbnails when
taking photos, you can customize Photo
Explorer to just get the thumbnails from
the JPEG (Exif) image files instead of
generating them. For such images, select
the Use thumbnail from JPEG (Exif) file
option in the Preferences dialog box
under the Camera and Exif category. This
will give a considerable improvement in
thumbnail display speed. However,
thumbnails created by cameras are fixed
in size (160x120) and cannot be further
enlarged. Also, the display quality of the
thumbnails may not be as good.
Previewing files
When you select a file in Photo Explorer, a
preview of the file contents immediately
appears in the Preview Pane. To change the
viewing size, drag the borders of the
Preview Pane.
