Montage Image Menu

The Image menu contains these commands:

Colors

Use this command to specify color adjustment or special color options to an image.

You can use the keyboard accelerator CTRL+K as an equivalent to this command.

The command is available if you have selected a single image object.

The command opens the Color Options dialog in which you can adjust colors, remove background colors, or set special options.

If you have applied color replacement to the selected image the results of using Color Options may be surprising. The Color Options dialog does not take color replacement into account, so it will preview your original image, and the options you specify may conflict with the previously specified replacements. If you need both color options and color replacement you should specify color options before color replacement to get consistent results.

 

Layout

Use this command to specify scale and position of the selected image on the canvas.

You can use the keyboard accelerator CTRL+L as an equivalent to this command.

The command is available if you have selected a single image object.

The command opens the Image Layout dialog in which you can specify image scale and position.

 

Replace Color

Use this command to perform color replacement.

You can also use the Image Color toolbox. This will often be more convenient. The command is available for the case that you have hidden the toolbox.

Put the mouse on the command, and the side menu is unfolded:

 

> 1) Pick Old Color

This first step is used to pick the color you want to replace in an image. The cursor is changed into a cross . Move it to point at an image pixel with the color you want to replace. If the image is not already selected it will be selected, but nothing else happens, until you have completed step 2.

 

> 2) Specify New Color

This second step is used to specify the new color. It opens the Color Selection dialog in which you specify any RGB color you want to use as replacement.

All pixels in the image that have the color picked in step 1 will now be replaced by the color selected in step 2.

You cannot replace a color by transparent color by means of the menu. You must use the Image Color toolbox if you want a transparent color.

 

Go To

Use this command to go to another page of a multipage image file.

The command is available if you have selected a single image object, and this is a multipage image. The command opens the Go To dialog in which you can select another page.

 

Edit CGM File...

Use this command to open the integrated CGM Editor dialog

The CGM editor module is optional and only available if you have purchased this option.

If you save the edited CGM file in the same name it will automatically replace the file in Easycopy.

If you save it in another name you need to open this file in EasyCopy.

Import Images 1:1
