  • More than two sort levels are possible.

Mark Favorite Image Acquisitions

You can designate an Acquisition as a "favorite" to make the Acquisition easier to find when the list of Acquisitions becomes long.

  • In the Image Gallery, click the favorite icon next to an Acquisition to designate it as a favorite.

  • The filled-in favorites icon () indicates an Acquisition that has been marked as a favorite.

  • Click the column header above the favorites column to group your favorite Acquisitions together. If you do not see your favorite Acquisitions, they have probably been grouped at the bottom of the list. Click the column header above the favorites column again to group favorite Acquisitions at the top of the list. A sort icon (such as or ) indicates that the favorites column has been sorted with favorites at the bottom or favorites at the top. See Sort for more information about sorting in the Image Gallery.

Edit Acquisition

On the Edit Acquisition page, you can edit image Acquisitions, including flipping, rotating, cropping, and changing which channels are displayed. The original images are preserved.

To open the Edit Acquisition page from the Image Gallery, double click an Acquisition or select the Acquisition and click Edit Acquisition.

The following options are available on the Edit Acquisition page.

Change Which Image Channels Are Displayed

In the table under the image view, click to stop displaying an image channel.

Click to display a channel that is currently not displayed.

Edit Name or Comment

To change the Name or Comment for the Acquisition, enter new text in the Name or Comment field. Changes are automatically saved.

Changing the Name or Comment metadata does not create a new Acquisition.

Because Acquisitions will have the same image ID before and after modification (cropping, rotating, etc.), renaming the modified Acquisition can help you keep track of it. For example, you could rename "0000342" to "0000342-cropped" after cropping. You can also click above the table to add the Modifications column, which displays the modifications that have been made to Acquisitions.

Crop or Perform Other Transformation

  1. In the Edit as New section, click an option.

    The change you make will be applied to all images in the Acquisition.

  2. Click Save as New when you are finished making the change.

    A new Acquisition will be created, and the original Acquisition will be preserved.

Free Rotate

The Transform option provides quick options for rotating images 90 or 180 degrees. The Free Rotate option allows you to rotate images in smaller increments.
