Navigate image presentation
Start the Image Palette Presentation so that the first image appears full-screen against a black background, ready for presentation. You may use various tools -- a toolbar, keyboard shortcuts, and/or a right- (or Control-) click shortcut menu -- to navigate through your presentation.

in the toolbar. Other options...
- To view the previous image, click on the "Previous image" icon
in the toolbar. Other options...
- To display an image out of sequence, click on the "Select an image" icon
in the toolbar. An image selection list will appear. Use the scroll bar to locate the desired image, and then double-click on the thumbnail to display it on the screen. Other options...
Zoom and pan images

- To view the image at Actual Size, click on the "Change view" icon
in the toolbar. This will display the image at a 1:1 ratio. Other options...
- You may continue to zoom into the image (repeat step #1), but the "Change view" icon will change color
when you go past the actual size of the image. This is a indication that the image may begin to pixelate as you zoom past its actual size.

- To reset the image to Fit to Frame, press the Shift key while clicking on the "Change view" icon in the toolbar. This will resize the image so that it will fit, in its entirety, in the space allowed, whether a full screen, or a split screen. Other options...

- To split the screen vertically, click on the "Split screen vertically" icon
in the toolbar. Two images will appear on the top and bottom of the screen for a side-by-side image comparison. Other options...
- Whether you split the screen horizontally or vertically, a toolbar will appear on each side of the split screen. Use this toolbar, along with keyboard shortcuts and/or the right- (or Control-) click shortcut menu, to:
- Zoom and pan images on both sides.
- Display data on either side of the screen.
- Display images sequentially, whether next or previous, or jump out of sequence. Each half of the screen will advance independently, so press the "Tab" key on your keyboard switch the focus between each side of the split screen.
Quick Tips
- To re-create a slide lecture with left and right carousels of images...
- Rearrange the images in the Image Palette, so that all of the images from the "left carousel" are arranged in order in the first half of the collection.
- Then, arrange the images for the "right carousel" in the back half of the collection in the Image Palette.
- Start the Image Palette Presentation and immediately split the screen by clicking on the "Split screen horizontally" icon in the toolbar.
- In the right-hand side of the screen, click on the "Select an image" icon in the toolbar.
- Then, use the scroll bar in the image selection list that appears to locate the first image in the "right carousel." Double-click on this image to display it.
- Your first image comparison will display on the screen. To display the second comparison, click on the "Next image" icon in the toolbar on the left side of the screen. Then, click on the "Next image" icon in the toolbar on the right side of the screen. Continue this procedure to view each subsequent comparison.
- An alternative method of navigating through the presentations is to press the "Space bar" or "Page Down" key, so that the left image advances. Then, press the "Tab" key to shift the focus to the right-hand side of the screen. Press the "Space bar" or "Page Down" key again to advance to the next image on the right side. Continue to use the "Tab" key to toggle back and forth between both sides of the split screen.
- If you have multiple monitors attached to your computer, you may elect to display the Image Palette Presentation in dual screen mode. This will allow you to compare up to 4 images at a time. For more information, please see: Dual screen presentations.

in the toolbar to close the Image Palette presentation and return to the Image Palette pane. Other options...
