Manage Images

Source file: manage-images.htm

Use the image manager to manage imported images that have been overlaid on a scan or surface. The images may have originally been imported and applied to a surface through File import (importing image files). You can adjust opacity, remove the image, or edit the position of the image on the object's surface.

1. Select the surface or scan with the associated subject images in either the project explorer or a view window.

2. On the Home ribbon tab, go to the Colour group. From the Photographic drop-down list select Image Manager.

   

Note:  You can select the surface after opening the Image Manager.

3. Select an image, then select the required function as listed below:

• Merge UV mapped images: Merge images that have been mapped to a surface using u and v coordinates.

  Note

  • UV mapped images are images for which all points have been assigned texture coordinates.

  • Photogrammetry and Import (.obj file type) tools will produce UV mapped images. (see New and Import)

• Opacity: Adjust the image's translucency. Select the opacity field then double-click on it to modify.

• Edit Registration: Adjust a panoramic image's registration (see Panoramic photograph to scan). Adjust the positions of existing points or add more point pairs to improve the registration.

Note:  

To be able to edit registration, the image must be a 360° x 180° spherical projection with an aspect ratio of 2:1.

• Remove image or Remove all images: Remove images from the scan or surface.
