Part I: Getting Started
Figure 1-16: All open pictures and new views are displayed as thumbnails in the Project Bin.
Creating different views of an image
What? Different views of the same picture, you say? Yes, indeed. You might
create a new view when you want to zoom in on an area for some precise
editing and then want to switch back to a wider view. Here’s how you do it:
1. Double-click a thumbnail image in the Project Bin.
That photo appears in the image window as the active document.
2. Choose View➪New Window for <filename>.
Note that <filename> is the name of the file in the image window.
3. Zoom to the new view.
A new view appears for the active document, and you see another
thumbnail image added to the Project Bin.
To zoom quickly, click the Zoom tool and click a few times on the picture
in the image window to zoom in to the photo.
4. Toggle views of the same image.
Double-click the original thumbnail to see the opening view; double-click
the other thumbnail to see the zoomed view.
Hiding the Project Bin
The Project Bin takes up a lot of room at the bottom of the image window,
and you’re not likely to want it open all the time while editing pictures. To
temporarily hide the Project Bin, do one of the following:
✓ Place the cursor over the separator bar between the image window and
the Project Bin. When the cursor changes to two horizontal lines with
vertical opposing arrowheads, drag down to collapse the Project Bin.
When the Bin is collapsed, drag up the separator bar to open it.
✓ Double-click the separator bar to hide the Project Bin.
✓ Click the Hide Project Bin text at the bottom of the Project Bin.
✓ Open a context menu by right-clicking and select Close at the top of
the menu.
