 +===== Importing Images Using the Load Assistant =====
 +
 +
 +Using the StudioLine Load Assistant saves much time and effort, because you decide before the transfer begins which images, images with sound annotations, and movie files you actually wish to load into your archive.
 +
 +
 +{{:image_archive:en:loadassistant_basic.jpg?nolink&817x694}}
 +
 +
 +When starting StudioLine, the Load Assistant automatically recognizes all files located in the “DCIM” folder of an external drive (for example your camera’s memory card) the moment you connect it to your computer.
 +
 +
 +In the image preview, all found images are displayed as thumbnail images enabling you to easily recognize your files. Movies and sound files are presented with an icon. Using this overview, select the files which you would like to import into StudioLine by using the following easy means:
 +
 +
 +Upon opening the Load Assistant, all files are automatically checked off for loading. To remove individual files not wanted, simply uncheck them.
 +
 +
 +To uncheck or recheck all files, click with your right mouse button in the image preview area and choose the appropriate command from the context menu.
 +
 +
 +You could also use the keyboard combination “Ctrl+A” to select all files, then checking off one of the boxes under a thumbnail to set the checks for all.
 +
 +
 +Using your mouse you could alternatively drag and select a grouping of files. Clicking on individual files while holding down the “Ctrl” key allows you to add or delete from the grouping. Once you have made your total selection, right-click into the selection and choose “Check Selected” or as the case may be, “Uncheck Selected”.
 +
 +
 +On the right side of the assistant panel set the destination for the loaded images. Using “Search” you can pick an existing folder inside the archive. You may wish to create a subfolder and have the files loaded into it.
 +
 +
 +It is possible to rename the images while loading – if you wish, in consecutively numbered order. This way your images have a meaningful name right from the start, while preventing future work in the process.
 +
 +
 +Older Windows versions only allow the Load Assistant to be summoned up manually. There are two ways to do this:
 +
 +
 +Follow the menu path: “File” → “Import” → “Load Assistant”.
 +
 +
 +Open the StudioLine Explorer under File in the Menu Bar and click, without having selected a file, on the “Load Image” icon.

-If you are in the Image Archive you can go to the Image menu and the Reload Source Image tab. This option allows you to reload the graphic data that was originally imported into StudioLine. If available, StudioLine searches for the data in its original position. If the files can't be found and only one image is selected, the user is prompted to search for the files in the StudioLine Explorer - Image Archive.  
  
-This function can improve the image quality after a small piece of the image has been first cut and then increased in size. Through the subsequent download function the original graphic files are restored and the cut out area is saved in the highest resolution as defined by the Image Rendering settings, found under the Preferences menu. If you are working with Kodak Photo-CD the best suited resolution is uploaded. +If you are in the Image Archive you can go to the Image menu and the Reload Source Image tab.
