Image Editing Options

Use the tools in the Options section of the Edge Imaging ribbon bar to superimpose grid lines and silhouettes on your images to assist you as you resize and realign an image.

How to Get Here

You can open this feature in multiple ways: Use the method that's most convenient for you.

Enable Edit Tool

To use any of these tools, enable the

Edit icon from the Imaging section of the ribbon bar. Then click in the layout to select the image you want to work with. Editing mode is not available from Card Flow layouts. You can, however, maximize individual images in a Card Flow layout to edit them. Your Edge Imaging background changes slightly to indicate when you are in Edit mode.

Auto-Import / Single Import - You can also use these Edge Imaging tools when you are Auto-Importing or Single Importing images.

Use This Feature

View Silhouette

Enable the

Silhouette tool. Then, when you click an image, you will see a silhouette of the timepoint prior to the current image in the background. In our example, we have moved the current facial lateral photograph up in the window to better show how the silhouette of an earlier facial lateral photo is displayed behind it.

Display Grid Lines

(Not available when viewing an individual image.) Enable the

Grid lines tool to see a series of lines superimposed over your layout. You control the number and placement of the lines with the Edit Lines feature, described below. Grid lines appear only when you are viewing a static layout or auto-importing images. This option is ignored when you are viewing other types of layouts.

Edit Grid Lines

Enable the

Edit Lines tool to add, adjust, and remove your grid lines. Note that you must first enable the Grid Lines tool, described above, before the Edit Lines feature is available. Your changes remain in effect even after you exit and re-enter Edge Imaging.

Add grid lines- Use the Add Horizontal or Add Vertical tools to add additional grid lines to the layout.

Adjust grid lines- Click and drag a grid line to move it to a new location on the layout.

Remove Individual Grid Lines- Click and drag a grid line off the edge of the layout window to remove it.

Remove All Grid Lines- Disable the Grid Lines tool to remove the lines from your screen. Your line editing changes will remain in effect the next time you enable grid lines. Note that grid lines are never included when you copy or print an image or layout.

More Information

I Can't See the Grid Lines - Grid lines appear only when you are viewing a static layout or auto-importing a series of images. This option is ignored when you are viewing other types of layouts, and is not available for the Single Import tool.
