Image Archive

The StudioLine Photo Edition revolves around the image archive. It is the central repository for final, high-resolution versions of your images together with a record of any corrections, enhancements and tool settings that are in effect for each image. Images are organized in folders with searchable descriptors and keywords.

Take a moment to locate the various areas of the image archive screen and their function.

Menubar

Click on any menu item to see a list of functions. Some menu entries may be grayed out, if they don't apply at the moment. With the menu open, press the F1 button on your keyboard to view the appropriate section of the Reference Guide.

Mode Selector

This indicator will flash a color, if StudioLine is still working on a function you have previously initiated. You can continue working with StudioLine, but some results may not be visible until background processing has completed.

To set certain default options, select Preferences from the menu bar and then choose Image Archive or Image Archive Background.
