Quick Help Links:
All the photos that you have in your My Pictures folder appear in the filmstrip along the bottom. If you keep your photos in a different folder, see the Search Bar section below on how to add a new photo folder.
Over the center of the filmstrip is the lens. The thumbnail under the lens is the current photo, and is projected onto the screen as a large slide.
If you have added photos since you last ran Preclick Photo Organizer, the lens will be positioned over the first new photo.
Photos are labeled and grouped according to the current sort order. For example, when sorting by month, each photo is labeled with the date, and the photos from a particular month are grouped together. Each group is separated by a thick dividing line.
The lens contains buttons to move around the strip. You can click the ">" or "<" buttons to scroll the filmstrip forward or back by one photo. You can use the jump arrows at left and right edges of lens bottom to jump back and forth between groups. For example, when sorting by month, you can jump to photos in the previous and next months.
The push bar, positioned through the bottom of the lens shows you where you are in your collection. You can click it to push it back or forward by one strip's worth of photos.
You can select photos to professionally print or to email by clicking the Prints or Email icons under the thumbnail, to the right of the label.
Clicking a thumbnail scrolls to that photo.
You can control what is displayed in the filmstrip using the search bar above the strip.
The first control is the photo folder chooser. Choose which folder of photos you wish to view. To add a new folder, click the "Add folder to listà" command that appears in the drop down menu. If you have added new photos since you started the program, choose the "Search for photos again" command. To remove a folder from the list, click the ôRemove folder from listàö command that appears in the drop down menu. Then select the folder you wish to remove from list displayed.
The second control is the text search box. To find just those photos whose photo back contains certain words, click on this box, type the words you want to search for and then hit Enter. In the drop down list are the last few items you searched for. Choose anything (or delete the text) to stop searching by text.
The third control is the rating search box. Choose an entry from the dropdown list to just see those photos with matching ratings. Choose any rating to stop searching by rating.
The fourth control is the sort chooser. The photos can be sorted and grouped by month, rating, folder and title. They can also be sorted by roll, a group of photos that were downloaded together.
The viewer area contains various tabs:
The tabs appear along the top of the application. Click on a tab to switch to it.
This tab shows the photo that is under the lens.
You can print a photo with dotPhoto by clicking the Print/Upload Photo button. The photo will be added to the Printing tab. After you have chosen your photos to print, go to the Printing tab to review and upload them for printing.
You can email a photo by clicking the Email Photo button. The photo will be added to the Email tab, and will be reduced in size so your email is small enough to send reliably and quickly. After you have chosen your photos to email, go to the Email tab to review and send them.
You can rotate a photo by clicking one of the Rotate buttons.
To delete a photo, click the Delete button. The photo will be moved to the Deleted Photos tab.
Click the AutoFix button to fix a photo that is too dark or too light. Click it again to undo the fix.
Pushing the Play button starts and stops a slideshow. This is a great way to sit back and view your collection.
The View Full Screen button is the rightmost button on the toolbar. Clicking it changes between normal and full screen modes. Double clicking the photo in the Current Photo tab does the same thing.
When you select a photo for printing or emailing, the appropriate icon will appear on the bottom right corner of the slide, and the appropriate icon will light up under the thumbnail in the filmstrip.
On the Email tab all the photos you have selected to email appear as thumbnails. Click Send Photos to email your photos. To take a photo out of the tab, click it and then click the Clear One button. To remove all the photos from the tab, click the Clear All button.
Clicking the Add Recent button will add the pictures in your latest roll to the tab.
Clicking the Send Photos button will launch your computerÆs default email program. This function only supports email programs like Outlook, Outlook Express and Eudora. If you are using AOL or a web-based email service, you cannot use the email features of this program.
On the Printing tab, all the photos you have selected for dotPhoto to professionally print appear as thumbnails. Clicking the Add Recent button will add the pictures in your latest roll to the tab. Click one of the buttons in the toolbar to print/upload the photos. The Upload Photos button uploads the selected photos to a dotPhoto online album. The Order Prints button uploads the selected photos to an album and orders prints. To take a photo out of the tab, click it and then click the Clear One button. To remove all photos from the tab, click the Clear All button.
If you delete one or more photos, a Deleted Photos tab will appear. You can send all the deleted photos to the Recycle Bin using the Empty Trash button. You can put a photo back in the filmstrip using the Restore button.
Next to the slide is a digital photo back. It shows the photo's title and folder as well as its size and dimensions.
To add info, just click in a field and start typing. Preclick Photo Organizer will try to complete what you type. You can add multiple values by separating them with commas. You can also click the stamp button to the left of the field and choose from the list of values you have already entered.
If your camera records the date with your photo, this date will be used for the Date field. Otherwise the file date will be used. You can edit the date if it is wrong by clicking it. You can click the Date stamp button to choose which date will be used.
There are many keyboard shortcuts to make viewing and editing your photos quick and easy.
