and pasted into the image:
-[Edit]
-[Copy]
Activate the image that you want to paste the spectrum into (i.e. click on it, or click on
“Window” and select the image from the list at the bottom of the pull-down menu.
Also, if you are going to paste the spectrum as a color image, then you should
convert the gray-scale image to a true color image first; [Format], [Data Type], [True
Color]. To copy the spectrum:
-[Edit]
-[Paste]
Click and drag on the pasted object to position it where you would like it. When
you are satisfied with its position, you should deactivate the text by pushing the space
bar or [Edit], [Object], and [Merge].
At this point you might want to use the text feature in PhotoImpact to add text to label
the peaks. It would have been possible to copy the peak labels from the original
spectrum file by using the magic wand tool to click on each letter, but this is tedious
and time consuming. Also, when the spectrum is shown on the image, it has to stand
out from the detail in the image. The file can be saved with the overlay.

the Viewer program and show you the image. The image can be zoomed by hitting
the “+” or “-“ keys. The slide show program can be implemented by first selecting the
thumbnails of interest (or Ctrl-A to select all), then [View], [Slide Show], then select
the appropriate options and [Play]. The slide show can repeat continuously, or just
play once and terminate, or it can be terminated with the escape key.
