Chapter 2 What is ImageBrowser ?
What Can ImageBrowser Do?

By using other applications:
ImageBrowser gives you additional power when you use it together with the following applications. (You can start these applications from within ImageBrowser.)
This chapter explains the various basic skills required to master ImageBrowser. Lets begin with an overview of the main features of ImageBrowser.
By connecting a camera with your computer, you can:

View a list of images stored in the camera. View information (shooting date and camera settings, for example) about images stored in the camera. Use your computer to set up a slide show or DPOF (print settings) on the camera (available with some models only). Import images stored in the camera to your computer. Save images from your computer to the camera.
s PhotoStitch
You can use this application to stitch multiple images together (which were split and shot individually) to form a single, large size, panoramic picture. You can stitch images horizontally or vertically or in a matrix format. When you shoot the surrounding in 360 degrees, you can later stitch the images to form a 360-degree cylindrical shape. By saving this stitched image in QuickTime VR format, you can then get a virtual view of the various parts of the image.
By using the file management features, you can:

Categorize, regroup, and create an image database for images stored in your computer. Move or copy images. Perform simple editing such as cropping images or adjusting their colors. Run a slide show displaying the images in sequence in fullscreen mode. Use the TimeTunnel feature to display images in a tunnel-like arrangement in the order of their shooting dates.
s RemoteCapture
You can use this application to control the shutter operation of a camera connected through a USB port from your computer (not available on some camera models). You can specify the shooting interval and number of images to be shot, and then take images using interval shooting.
11
Storing Images
However, when you select [My Favorite Pix] from the Browser Window, images are displayed as follows:
What happens to the image file when you import images from a camera, or move or copy them using ImageBrowser?
Where are images stored?

You can use the following procedure to locate images.
1 2
In the Finder, double-click the disk containing a folder that you created earlier. Double-click the folder that you created. Image files appear in the folder as shown below.
As you can see, they have exactly the same names. Thus, the images displayed in the Browser Area of ImageBrowser are actually the files in the folder that you selected above. When you move or copy images using ImageBrowser, files are moved or copied accordingly in the Finder.
12
Understanding the Browser Window
This section describes the various parts of the Browser Window display.
Explorer View Section: Displays the disks and folders that you can use on your computer. If you click the disclosure triangle on the left edge of the display, you can switch between collapsing and expanding the contents of that folder.
Browser Area: This is the area where thumbnails of images in the selected folder are displayed.
Image Name: This is where the file names of each individual images are displayed.
You can drag this part of the frame to change the size of the Browser Window. You can drag this line to change the position of the boundary between the Explorer View Section and the Browser Area. Control Panel: This area contains buttons that allow you to perform a variety of functions.

The shooting date is displayed as well as the file name.
15
Using Contextual Menus

A contextual menu is, as its name implies, a menu whose option vary according to the context within which it is used. It is a collection of the most commonly used buttons and commands that apply to a given situation. Contextual menus allow you to use ImageBrowser more efficiently. When you feel comfortable with ImageBrowser, try using the contextual menus in different situations and you will be impressed with their convenience. Note that, in general, this manual does not cover operations using contextual menus. (This is because explaining the many menu variations would take too many pages.)
When you hold down the [control] key and click the mouse button, a menu is displayed. This is a contextual menu. In ImageBrowser, you can access many useful functions through contextual menus. For example, when you hold down the [control] key and click an image, the following contextual menu appears.
Click the mouse button anywhere in the window while holding down the [control] key to display the contextual menu.

REFERENCE 90 degrees left is a counterclockwise rotation and 90 degrees right is a clockwise rotation. The Rotate function affects only the image displayed in the Camera Window. The image stored on the camera is not changed at all. However, when you import the image, the change is reflected in the actual file stored on your computer. Some image degradation may result when rotating a JPEG file with ImageBrowser. This is because the JPEG file is decompressed prior to rotation, then is recompressed to restore it to JPEG format after rotation has been completed.
This section describes how to rotate images (stored on the camera) to the desired orientation.
How to rotate an image

In the Camera Window, select the image that you want to rotate. Click (Rotate) and click the rotation angle that you want to use on the menu.

Supported File Formats

s Windows Bitmap files
This format is standard on Windows. Most Windows programs support it.
The following is a list of file formats supported by ImageBrowser.
Readable files
ImageBrowser can read the following file formats.
s QuickTime files
This is a movie file format. The file appears as a movie mark in the Browser Area of ImageBrowser. When you click the movie mark or a thumbnail, QuickTime Player starts and plays the movie. (You must install QuickTime Player before you can use it.)
s JPEG files
Most digital cameras use this file format. It takes advantage of the characteristics of the human eyes to achieve a high compression rate. However, because it is an irreversible compression method (part of the data is lost during compression), if you process and save an image repeatedly using this method, the image may become rougher.
s RAW files
This format is a proprietary file format provided by Canon. It allows the output of the image pixels from a digital camera without any deterioration in the quality of the image. Some cameras might not support this file format.
s PICT files
This is the standard file format for Macintosh. This file format is supported by most Macintosh software.
s TIFF files
This is a relatively popular format. It is widely supported by non-Macintosh programs (such as Windows).
