PicturePerfect Users Guide

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.
  • Use the big direction arrow button on your device to move backward and forward.
  • Select Picture, Go To to quickly jump to a specific picture.


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, and your photos will appear like this:

You can enable full-screen view three ways:

  • Select Album, View Full Screen from the menu.
  • Press the Action button on your device. (On the iPAQ, press the middle of the big arrow button.)
  • Tap the full_screen_icon.gif (876 bytes) icon on the menu bar.

To restore the menu bar and top caption bar, just tap anywhere on the screen, or press the Action button again.

Zooming

You can zoom in and out of photos by tapping the zoom_in_icon.gif (892 bytes) and zoom_out_icon.gif (889 bytes) icons, or by selecting Picture, Zoom In or Zoom Out from the menu.


Scrolling Large Pictures

To view the hidden parts of a large picture, just drag the stylus over the display. This moves the picture.


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. Select Album, Preferences to change how full-screen captions display.


Optimizing Pictures for 12-bit Devices

The HP Jornada 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, but the images themselves may take more time to load. Select Album, Preferences, Optimize JPEGs for 12-bit devices to experiment with this setting.


Viewing Pictures Sideways

PicturePerfect version 3.2 and later have a Smart Rotate feature. Photographs are rotated such that they appear as large as possible on your screen. You can disable this feature by selecting Album, Preferences from the menu. (See Rotating Pictures for details.)


Scaling Large Pictures

Pictures larger than the size of your screen are scaled by default. To turn scaling on or off, select Picture, Scale To Fit Display. If this menu item is checked, then the image is scaled to fit the display. Otherwise, the picture displays near its actual size.


Playing Sounds

PicturePerfect can automatically play a sound associated with your picture. If you want to enable or disable this, select Album, Preferences, and check the Play Sounds Automatically box.  If this item is checked, sounds will play. If unchecked, no associated sounds play.

If a picture has a sound associated with it, a speaker icon appears in the menu bar. Tap this icon to play the picture's sound.


Changing Picture Properties

You can edit the current picture to change the caption, sound, search words, slide show time, or the picture image file.

  1. Go to the picture you want to edit.
  2. Select Picture, Properties from the menu.
    The Picture Properties dialog appears:

    properties.gif (5079 bytes)

  3. Change any of the picture properties.
  4. Tap More Properties to change the sound file, search keywords, or slide show time.
    The More Picture Properties dialog appears:

    more_properties.gif (5778 bytes)

  5. Tap OK.
