Hi Ruth,

You can not get individual emails but you can get four digests per day.

I'll add a sample to the botton of this message.

Mario, thank you. I am aware of this option in the slide show.But there are tabs 
at the bottom on the left side of the interface - Database, Categories, 
Selections, View. So I have selected the image and then clicked on the View tab, 
now it shows cached imaged but there is no 'i' option.


Thanks!

One more thing, should be simple but I can't find an answer - what is letter C 
in the top left corner of the image means?

Thanks!

Subject: copy crop
Poster : arghman

BTW, where do "How do I...?" questions go? in this forum or in the Tips & 
Tricks forum?

I have a number of images in my database which have an area in the image that I 
want to duplicate as a separate image. E.g. I'd like to do the following:
   (a) pull up the image in a plain-vanilla-editor (either Imatch's builtin, or 
in Irfanview)
   (b) crop the image to show only the area I want
   (c) save image
   (d) pull into database
   (e) copy all properties/categories of the original image, either manually, or 
using a macro I haven't written yet.

This process seems rather cumbersome. Is there a better way?

(possible feature request: A "virtual crop" would be nice, e.g. you select an 
image, manually define a crop area, and Imatch creates a new entry in the 
database which is the original image cropped in the way you specify. For 
example, if you had a 10MB image file with a slight crop, it wouldn't create a 
new file on your disk, just an entry in the database that explains how to 
display the image from the original image. Not sure if the performance hit would 
make this not useful.)

I'll echo that too. Makes it a lot easier to see where the new posts are & 
read threads as a unified thread (Rather than individual messages).

I have created database properties but can not edit them - edit icon is grey'ed 
out.  Also, is it possible to change the sequense of the properties?

Thanks!

Hi kitoboi,

Try closing IMatch and starting it again. If the edit icon is still grayed out, 
I don't know what to suggest.

It is not possible to change the sequence of properties except be removing them 
and entering them again in the desired sequence. Doing so will result in the 
loss of anything that you have entered. The next major upgrade of IMatch will 
fix that but for now you are locked in.

Hey, maybe not. I believe that there is a script that will write properties to 
IPTC. If your image format will allow IPTC, you could:
1) Copy your properties to IPTC, say supplemental categories.
2) Remove properties as needed.
3) Enter the properties in the desired sequence.
4) Use IPTC Import to get your data back into properties.

kitoboi,

you can pull up the category splasher with crtl+alt+A, you can turn on the 
property fields with ctrl+5 and turn on splashers with ctrl+6.

Interestingly enough though it only works if I run my screen on a high 
resolution (1600x1024). It does not work when I have it at 1024x768.

If you are running your screen at a lower resolution you might want to use the 
Image Reviewer (F11). It is a very similar display, but maybe too little screen 
real estate devoted to the image.

Let me know what works on your machine.

I don't think you missed anything. All external media will show as a seperate 
folder per disk, DVD, tape, etc. And all offline folders show on top of your 
hardrive folder.

So, yes, if you have 100 DVDs you will see 100 folders on top of your hardrive 
folder. You can give them meaningful names though and it becomes easy to scan 
through.
