Photo Explorer
When using any application, it is important for you to set up a work environment
that’s comfortable and convenient for you. Photo Explorer provides many
options that can change the look and feel of what’s on-screen to suit your needs.
You can also make Photo Explorer as your default image viewer and editor, or
configure other programs to open and edit your images.
Setting up your work environment
File: Preferences
The Preferences command in the File menu allows
you to define settings specific to Photo Explorer. The
Preferences dialog box lists different categories
which determine the behavior of Photo Explorer, its
overall appearance, and the way thumbnails and
images are presented. Settings specific to your digital
camera can also be configured to ensure accuracy in
the information that is acquired from your camera.
Click a category to view and change its settings in
the Preferences dialog box.

If you often do only simple edits with your images, Photo Explorer can be an ideal
image editor. To make Photo Explorer your default image viewer and editor, select
the Associate category in the Preferences dialog box and select the image file
formats that you want to automatically open in Photo Explorer.
View menu
The View menu provides commands that determine
the layout of Photo Explorer as well as thumbnail
display settings. You can also access the Viewer
from this menu. Use the available commands to
change the way files are displayed and organized
so that you can quickly identify your files, or open
up the Viewer to display your images.
