About the Image Control Panel

To position the image sections, you'll also use the Image Control Panel. To display it, choose Tools > Controls:

The Final Image Size group box contains information about the height, width and size of the image. The image size is shown in two formats:

as a single resolution image, and

as a multi-resolution (tiled) image.

The Selected Image Section group box contains controls that act on the selected image section. To select a section, simply click on it in the Splice Window. (If you have chosen to display borders, the selected section is always shown with a green border).

To rotate the selected section, use the Orientation buttons, which effectively set whether it is top, bottom, left or right pegged.

To re-order how the selected section is 'stacked' in the Splice Window, click on the Ordering arrow buttons.

: By default, sections are stacked in the order you scanned them.

To set the selected image to be the registration image, ensure the Registration Image check box is checked.

: By default, the first section you scan is the registration image.

The X and Y values show the position of the selected section relative to the registration image. If you choose a new registration image, these values change accordingly, but no section moves relative to any other.

To move the selected section relative to the registration image's position, use the Position arrow buttons to nudge the selected section a small amount in the direction of the arrow

: Obviously you can't do this for the registration image itself.

To lock the selected section's position, ensure the Lock check box is checked. This will prevent you accidentally moving the section once you have it finally positioned.

To change which set of pegs the registration image will use (see Pegging), first select the registration image. Then use the Background Pegging pop-up menu to change its pegging.

: By default, the registration image is A Pegged.

Below, we recommend how to use this panel for a typical splicing.
