How to Read the File List
Preview Options and Zoom
Compare and contrast your image before and after an enhancement is applied through multiple views.
VIEW ORIGINAL - The Eye symbol shows the input image you've imported. This symbol is only available when in Single View. You can also use the SPACE bar as a short key.
SINGLE VIEW - displays the entire edited version in the Preview. Click on the single rectangle icon on the right of the Capture button.
SPLIT VIEW - displays a gray line with the original version displayed on the left and the edited version on the right. Click and drag the line across the image to view the edited version. Click on the single horizontal rectangle icon with a line down the middle on the right of the Single View button.
SIDE BY SIDE VIEW - displays the original version and the edited version fixed side-by-side to create a before and after comparison. Click on the two vertical rectangles icon on the right of the Split View button.
ZOOM SLIDER - Click and drag the circle icon on the right of the Side by Side View button.
FIXED ZOOM OPTIONS - Click the drop down arrow to reveal the Fixed Zoom options on the right of the Zoom Slider.
CAPTURE - The Capture tool screenshots your before and after images while in Split View or Side by Side view only. Click on the Camera icon Next to "Capture" to take the screenshot. This symbol appears when Split View or Side by Side view is in use.
Dimensions
The new enhanced upscale of your image is reflected in the far right corner of the application screen. These dimensions are in pixels.
Hover the mouse over the Dimensions to reveal both the original input and new out size.
The Dimensions changes to an "Update Available" button whenever a new version has been released.
