Graphical User Interface

Main Window

When you start EasyCopy you get the Main Window containing a Menu Bar and a Tool Bar.

When you have opened a file, captured an image, or if you specified an input file when you started EasyCopy, an Image Display Window is appended to the Main Window.

Image Display

The Image Display Window contains the current open file (imported file, screen capture, or image copied from the clipboard). The window is not present until you open an image file, make a screen capture, or paste an image.

The displayed image reflects the current settings for color options, stamp options, label options, rotation, and mirror.

General options for the Main window and image display are set in the View menu.

Crop

You can select a rectangular area of the image by means of the Crop cursor

if you only want to work with a subsection of the image.

You make image crop in three quick steps:

Position the cursor at one corner of the area you want to crop and press the left mouse button.
Drag the rubber band to the opposite corner, and release the mouse button.
Click the Crop tool to complete the operation.

The cropping does not take place until you press the Crop tool (or use the Crop command in the Image menu).

The tool is dimmed unless a rubber band has been drawn.

The crop area can be resized

or moved

The Image Display Window will be redrawn and will contain the cropped area only. Subsequent commands now refer to the cropped image.

You can get back to the original, uncropped image by means of the Uncrop tool .

Zoom

You can zoom into a detail of the image by means of the Zoom cursor

Choose the zoom cursor by means of the Zoom-in tool in the tool bar.
Position the cursor at one corner of the area you want to zoom and press and hold the left mouse button.
Drag the rubber band to the opposite corner, and release the left mouse button.

Alternatively, you can choose the zoom cursor, place it at the center of the desired area, and click the left mouse button. This will result in a zoom factor of 2.

The difference between zoom and crop is that zoom only limits your view to the selected area; subsequnt commands still refer to the full image, and you can scroll around the image by means of the scroll bars.
