Viewing Pictures

Once you've added pictures to an album, you're ready to view them, and share them with your friends.

Navigating your Album:

• Use the left and right arrow buttons on the menu bar to move backward and forward through your album.
• Or use the big navigation button (or side rocker button) on your device to move backward and forward.
• Or select Picture, Go To to quickly jump to a specific picture.
• Or tap the Thumbnail icon to choose a picture to view.

Viewing Photos Full-Screen

You can utilize the entire screen to view images.  When you do this, the menu bar and top caption bar disappear.  Do this in two ways:

• Select Picture, View Full Screen from the menu.
• Or tap the full-screen view icon on the menu bar.

To restore the menu bar and top caption bar, just tap anywhere on the screen.

Zooming and Panning

You can zoom in and out of photos by tapping the zoom icons, or by selecting Picture, Zoom In or Zoom Out from the menu. Once you have zoomed into a picture, drag the stylus to move the viewable portion of the image.

The zoom factor and position of the picture are remembered permanently. You can reset the picture view by selecting Picture, Properties, Reset Zoom and Position from the menu.

Changing Full-Screen Caption Display

When viewing pictures full-screen, you can have captions appear at the top or bottom of the screen, or not appear at all by selecting Album, Settings, Preferences, Full-screen mode caption location from the menu.

Optimizing Pictures for 12-bit Devices

The HP Jornadas and Compaq iPaq have 12-bit graphics displays, and may not normally show the best quality images. PicturePerfect can optimize JPEG images for these devices to make better looking pictures. Select Album, Settings, Preferences, Optimize JPEGs for 12-bit devices to experiment with this setting.

Smart Rotation

PicturePerfect has a setting called Smart Rotate when not Docked. When the device is not in the cradle, PicturePerfect can have your pictures automatically rotated if doing so would show more of the image. This option is available from Album, Settings, Preferences. 

Occasionally, Smart Rotate needs some help from you to make the picture or caption appear properly. Here's how to fix common problems:

If the image appears upside-down:

1. Select Picture, Properties, Extended from the Menu.
   The Extended Properties Dialog appears.
   
   
   
   
2. Tap Flip JPEG.
3. Tap OK.

If the caption in full-screen mode is oriented wrong:

1. Select Picture, Properties, Extended from the Menu.
   The Extended Properties Dialog appears.
2. Tap Fix Caption Position.
3. Tap OK.
