 ===== "Don’t Copy" Mode ===== ===== "Don’t Copy" Mode =====
  
-The actual image resides outside of StudioLine’s Image Archive, and only //references// to these original images are copied into the Image Archive. We refer to them as //external images//. Sometimes an original image is located on removable media or is temporarily unavailable for other reasons, StudioLine therefore generates a “Proxy Image” much like a thumbnail in the Image Archive. Settings regarding proxy images are found in the “Preferences” menu. +{{page>basic:importing_images#don_t_copy_mode}}
- +
-The “Don’t Copy” mode should only be chosen if you prefer not to delete your original images from your hard disk and can’t afford the additional disk space for StudioLine to create its master-copies. If you chose this mode for CDs, DVDs or other removable media, especially your camera, then you may find it inconvenient to always have to keep these media close at hand. The risk is very high that you accidentally erase or overwrite images on such media. Again, your digital camera is a good example. Furthermore, every time you need to create a high-resolution print or want to export the image, StudioLine would prompt you to insert the disc or connect your camera. +
- +
-It is generally recommended that you use the “Copy” mode as long as you have available disk space. Once disk space gets sparse, StudioLine offers the offload feature for older or less frequently used images. +
- +
-Your choice of internal vs. external images has no bearing on your ability to manage, edit, and process your pictures with StudioLine. +
- +
-{{:image_archive:en:ia-copy-settings.png?nolink }}You can decide how StudioLine will manage your images in accordance with the different types of media you choose. Select “Image Archive Copy Settings” from the Menu Bar “Preferences.” (The “Image Archive Copy Settings” window will open automatically the first time you load images.) +
- +
-In addition to setting “Copy” and “Don’t Copy” modes, you can also choose to be prompted during each import simply by selecting the setting “Ask.” This is a good choice if you want to be able to copy images from borrowed CDs, but not copy images from any CDs that you own. +
- +
-You may change your settings at any time. Of course, this would only effect any new images still to be added to the Image Archive. Existing images stored internally may be converted to external images at any time, as well as external images to internal ones, as long as you still have access to your originals.+
  
 ===== Internally- and Externally-Stored Images ===== ===== Internally- and Externally-Stored Images =====
  
-To convert internally-stored images to externally-stored ones, or vice versa, select the images and click on one of the images with the right mouse button. Choose “Original” from the context menu and then the option “Store Externally” or “Store Internally.” +{{page>basic:importing_images#internally-_and_externally-stored_images}}
- +
-To move an image to external storage, you will need to select a target folder. +
- +
-To import an image to internal storage, you may be asked to insert the appropriate CD, DVD or other removal media, if that’s where the original picture resides.+

 ===== Reload Source Image ===== ===== Reload Source Image =====
  
-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.  +{{page>basic:importing_images#reload_source_image}} 
- +
-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. +
