Editing Graphics

OmniPage Pro can retain graphics, such as logos or photos, during OCR. OmniPage Pro can also link to the following image-editing applications so you can edit retained graphics on the spot:

NOTE: To edit graphics in any of these image-editing applications, you must have the application installed on your system. The application must also be set up as the default for opening bitmap images.

To edit a retained graphic after OCR:

  1. Make sure that bitmap images are associated with the image-editing application you want to use.

    Use Windows Explorer to associate bitmap images with the application. Refer to your Windows online help for more information.

  2. Make sure that graphics in your image are identified as Graphic zones. See Changing Zone Properties for more information.

  3. Double-click a graphic in OmniPage Pro's text view.

    You can also select the graphic and choose Image Editor in the Tools menu.

  4. Edit the graphic as desired.

    Refer to the image-editing application's documentation for information on using its tools.

To end the graphic-editing session:

Save the graphic and exit the image-editing application.

Changes are updated in the graphic displayed in OmniPage Pro's text view.
