Add File Information

When you distribute photos, whether via Internet or on CD-ROM, it is useful to give information to a picture, especially when it is Copyright protected.
To open the “File Info” window, click “File” – “File Info” … the menu bar.

You can lose a lot of information, that may be important, in a lot of ways.
Thus it may be useful to give contact information so that the person who has received your photo, accidentally or not, can contact you to use this picture.

To type the Copyright Symbol as in the example above, hold the Alt-key pressed and type 0169 for Windows users.
For Mac users, this is Option + G (I think)
Click OK when your settings are entered.
Click on “File” – “Save” in the menu bar to save them.

You do not have to do all this, but if you want to protect your pictures a bit, I recommend you to do.

Move the image

In order to move the picture in its window, we use the “Hand” from the toolbox (“Hand” tool)
When the “Hand” is selected in the Toolbox, the mouse pointer changes into a hand when we move over the picture.
Click and drag the cursor to where you want to navigate.
A second way is to use the scroll bars.
My experience teaches me that the “Hand” is more convenient.

A quick way to switch to the “Hand” is by holding the space bar on our keyboard.
When this is pressed, it changes our pointer to the Hand tool.
This is very useful when we use another tool in the toolbox and we have to edit above or below the image displayed in the window.

Click the spacebar on your keyboard and move the image up, down, left or right.
If you want to continue drawing, or switch to whatever tool you are using at that time, release the spacebar button.
