Then click and drag to the lower right corner of the area desired, releasing the mouse button at the right end of the image. This area will be zoomed to fill the screen.

• Zoom In: Increase the zoom scale of the current image by a small amount.

• Zoom Out: Decrease the zoom scale of the current image by a small amount.

• Zoom All: Zoom all to see the entire image.

When a region is selected:

CTRL + arrow key moves/nudges region in indicated direction.

CTRL + Page Up rotates/nudges region counter-clockwise.

F8: This feature is only available on a dual-monitor setup. Hit F8 on the snapshot viewer screen to cycle the current screen to the different monitors to set up which is the primary monitor and customer monitor.

Placing the cursor over a selection bounding rectangle will display information about the selection along the status bar along the bottom of the screen, including what the selection is for.

Clicking on the selection bounding rectangle allows the selection to be edited.

When a selection bounding rectangle is in focus, the selection bounding rectangle is displayed in purple.

When bringing a project into IF Visualization software from IF Retail Management software, the software opens to Step 1: Load an Image. Because IF Retail Management has no prior information on the desired images, they can be selected here. If the opening mat size(s) have already been entered, they will be displayed on Step 3: Visualize Project.
