Opening an existing file
PhotoPlus can open images saved in a wide variety of industry-standard file
formats, acquire images from your TWAIN-compliant digital camera (or scanner)
or perform screen capture. In particular, PhotoPlus can open RAW files from the
most up-to-date digital cameras and Adobe PhotoShop .PSD files.
You can use the Startup Wizard to access image files recently viewed in PhotoPlus,
or use a standard file dialog to open any image file. PhotoPlus supports all the
standard image formats for print and Web graphics, in addition to its native .SPP
format.

work. You'll see a list of recently opened files. To see a preview of any file, click
its name in the list.
