ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Extended Help for SuperPreview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The SuperPreview program is a tool for viewing and converting monochrome
images. Help is available any time you press the F1 key from anywhere within
the program. Because this is context sensitive help, the help information that
is displayed depends on where in the program F1 was selected.
For instance, you receive help for the File pull-down on the action bar when
you highlight File and press F1. However, this is not the same help that is
displayed when you press F1 while the Open choice in the File pull-down is
highlighted.
Press Esc at any time to view the previous help window or to return to the main
SuperPreview window if there are no other help windows.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Help for File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use the File pull-down choices, or the toolbar to:
Open... a new file.
Save As... the current file.
Batch Convert... a directory of image files.
Print... the current file.
or Exit the program. When SuperPreview starts, the menu items Save As..., and
Print... will be grayed out. These items will become available when a file is
open.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Help for Open... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to open a monochrome image file. SuperPreview will
automatically detect the file type such as BMP or TIFF, and open a view of the
first page.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Help for Save As... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to save the currently displayed page. If
modifications were done to the image such as rotation, the image will be saved
the way it appears. Images may be saved in a variety of formats to facilitate
exchanging files between applications. If a multipage document is open, only
the current page is saved. For maximum space savings on disk, it is
recommended to save all files as TIFF G4.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Help for Batch Convert... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this menu item to convert a directory full of image files from one format
to another. Any valid image files in the source directory will be converted
from any source format to a specified destination format. Any of the image
manipulation options of SuperPreview such as rotation can be performed on the
images during conversion. An option exists to delete the source image files
after successful conversion.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Help for Print... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to print the currently displayed page to a graphics
printer. If the image is larger than will fit on the output device, the
options of tiling or fitting to the page are presented.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Help for Exiting SuperPreview ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this menu item to end the SuperPreview program. If modifications were made
to the current image, they will not be saved automatically.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Help for Edit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use the Edit pull-down choices to Copy to or Paste from the OS/2 Clipboard.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Help for Copy ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use the Copy menu item to copy the contents of the selection rectangle to the
OS/2 Clipboard. If the clipboard had any data in it, it will be overwritten by
the new data. This menu item will only be available when a selection rectangle
exists, otherwise it will be disabled.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. Help for Paste ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use the Paste menu item to create a new document from the contents of the OS/2
Clipboard. This menu item will only be available when bitmap data is present
in the clipboard, otherwise it will be grayed out. If the bitmap in the
clipboard is not monochrome, it will be converted to monochrome by OS/2's
graphics engine prior to becoming the currently open document.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. Help for Next Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to go to the next page of a multi-page document. If
the document contains only one page, this option will not be available.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Help for Previous Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to go to the previous page of a multi-page document.
If the document contains only one page, this option will not be available.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14. Help for Goto Page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

document. If the document contains only one page, this option will not be
available.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. Help for 100% ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to show the currently open page at a 100% scale.
100% in this case means that one document pixel corresponds to one screen
pixel.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. Help for Fit to Width ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to show the currently open page so that it fits
entirely within the width of the viewing window. This option is useful for
scanned documents containing text. Because of the scaling technique used by
SuperPreview, a typical fax document can be legible when viewed on a VGA
display with this scale.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 18. Help for Fit to Window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to show the currently open page so that it fits
entirely within the viewing window. This option is automatically chosen when a
document is first opened or pasted into SuperPreview.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 19. Help for Zoom ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this menu item to display the area enclosed in the selection rectangle so
that it fills the viewing window. A selection rectangle is made by pressing
and holding the left mouse button and dragging the mouse around the area of
interest. When a selection rectangle exists, pressing the right mouse button
will perform the same action as selecting the Zoom menu item.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 20. Help for Invert ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to invert the color of the currently open page.
This will turn all white pixels to black and all black pixels to white. The
actual page is modified not just the view. If the page is saved, it will be
saved the way it is displayed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 21. Help for Flip Vertical ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to flip the current page top to bottom. The actual
page is modified not just the view. If the page is saved, it will be saved the
way it is displayed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 22. Help for Flip Horizontal ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this icon or menu item to flip the current page left to right (mirror
image). The actual page is modified not just the view. If the page is saved,
it will be saved the way it is displayed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 23. Help for Scale to Fax ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this menu item to scale the current image to fit in the standard fax width
of 1728 pixels horizontally. This option is useful for images that were
scanned at a higher or lower resolution than the standard fax resolution (200
dpi). Both the horizontal and vertical directions are scaled proportionately
so as not to distort the aspect ratio of the original image. Because of the
technique SuperPreview uses to scale images, very little image degradation
should be noticeable after performing this function. The actual page is
modified not just the view. If the page is saved, it will be saved the way it
is displayed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 24. Help for Scale x2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this menu item to scale the current image to twice its original size in
both the x and y directions. This option is useful for changing the target
resolution of an image. The actual page is modified not just the view. If the
page is saved, it will be saved the way it is displayed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 25. Help for Rotate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this menu item to rotate the image by 90, 180 or 270 degrees. This option
is useful for fixing images that have been scanned upside-down (180 degrees),
or sideways (90,270 degrees). The actual page is modified not just the view.
If the page is saved, it will be saved the way it is displayed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 26. Help for Rotate 90 degrees ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this menu item to rotate the image by 90 degrees clockwise. This option is
useful for fixing images that have been scanned sideways. The actual page is
modified not just the view. If the page is saved, it will be saved the way it
is displayed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 27. Help for Rotate 180 degrees ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this menu item to rotate the image by 180 degrees. This option is useful
for fixing images that have been scanned upside-down. The actual page is
modified not just the view. If the page is saved, it will be saved the way it
is displayed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 28. Help for Rotate 270 degrees ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this menu item to rotate the image by 270 degrees clockwise. This option
is useful for fixing images that have been scanned upside-down and backwards.
The actual page is modified not just the view. If the page is saved, it will
be saved the way it is displayed.

window. The toolbar contains icons which allow fast access to frequently used
functions.
