Image Format

Image Format

A powerful tool that allows you to apply predefined scaling parameters to the images you are importing. Selecting an Image Format for your image import will automatically import your selected images scaled to the desired format. E.g. selecting 2 image files and setting the Image Format to A4 will import both image files and automatically scale both to the A4 measurements.

New Image Formats can be defined in Image Properties > Scale by adding a new Image Format Preset through the green + icon, or in Tools > Options > Image Format by adding a new Image Format Preset there by clicking the green + icon. For more information on Image Formats, see Presets or Application Defaults.
