VCW VicMan's Photo Editor lets you create and open images in a variety of ways.

Creating a new image

As you run VCW VicMan's Photo Editor , it creates a new empty image. You can work with it or create a new one by choosing the New item in the File tab (hotkey: Ctrl+N) in the main menu. Alternatively, you can use the New button in the main toolbar.

As you push the button or choose a menu item, a dialog window requiring you to enter image size pops up:




Note that in free version neither width nor height can exceed 1000 pixels.

Opening existing images

VCW VicMan's Photo Editor supports viewing the following image types: BMP, JPG, GIF, PCX, PNG, PSD, PSP, PCD, WMF, TGA, TIF, PBM, PGM, PPM, RGB, RLA, RLE, RPF, ICB, PCC, PDD, PIC, SCR, SGI, VDA, VST, WIN, EMF, ICO, BW, CEL, CUT, DIB.

If you associated one or more of the above-mentioned file types with VCW VicMan's Photo Editor on its first startup, you can open an image in the editor by double-clicking its icon in Windows Explorer.




You can open an existing image from your hard drive by choosing the Open item in the File tab of the main menu or pressing Ctrl+O.

Alternatively, you can push the Open button on the main toolbar, browse to the image destination and open the file.

If you have previously opened a file, you can quickly access it via the Recent files list in the File tab.

Scanning images

You can scan images from any TWAIN source directly in VCW VicMan's Photo Editor .

If you have one or more scanning devices or are using Photo Editor for this purpose for the first time, you should first select scanning source by choosing the corresponding item in the File tab of the main menu.

Once you have selected scanning source and confirmed your selection, you can proceed to scanning an image by choosing Scan image from the File tab or Scan button on the main toolbar.

The scanned image will then appear in the editor and you will be able to edit and retouch it.
