Ch. 8 – Viewing, Editing, and Annotating Images(cont.)Copy toClipboard(PC)Copy (Mac)Copy all or part of an image onto the clipboard for insertion into another program. These optionsare identical to the Windows [Ctrl C] command and the Mac [ C] command.1. Press and hold the left mouse button (PC)/mouse button (Mac).2. Drag the cursor over the image until the dotted rectangle covers the area of the image thatyou want to copy. If you copy without “cutting out” a specific portion of the image, SPOTselects the entire image.3. Either select the Copy to Clipboard/Copy option from the Edit menu, or press[Ctrl C] (PC)/[ C] (Mac). The image is now ready to be pasted into another application.4. Open the application that you want to paste the image into, and select from the availablepasting options.Cut (Mac)Paste (Mac)Clear (Mac)Select All(Mac)Cut text fields within the SPOT program.Paste text fields in the SPOT program. The Paste option is unavailable (grayed out) for imageediting.Clear a text field in the SPOT program. The Clear option is unavailable (grayed out) for imageediting.Select text for copying. The Select All option is unavailable (grayed out) for image editing.Image Sizing and PositionFrom the Edit menu, you can:• Re-size images• Re-position images• Match the on-screen orientation of a specimen to the microscopic view• Crop an image to better reflect the area of interestResizeUse the Resize option to reduce or enlarge an image. When you reduce or enlarge an image, the resolutionand file size change accordingly. The SPOT program maintains aspect ratio so enlarged and reducedimages will not be distorted. When you reduce or enlarge an image, keep the following in mind:• Reduction - Resolution (number of pixels) and file size decrease.• Enlargement - Resolution (number of pixels) and file size increase.The trade off for higher resolution images is increased file size. The Resize option lets you specify thepercentage by which you want to increase or decrease the linear dimensions of the image. The programreads the red, green, and blue brightness values for the pixels in the original image and uses those values tocreate a new image where the number of rows and columns is reduced or enlarged by the percentage thatyou specify.Two circumstances where you might want to enlarge or reduce an image are listed here:• You captured an image using a low magnification objective (e.g., 5x or below) - In this case,enlarging the image adds pixels, which helps to smooth out the pixellation of high contrast, finedetails. This makes it easier to view and interpret the structure of these details. Enlarging also makeslarge format prints appear smoother and less pixellated.140 User Guide to the SPOT Insight Camera
