How to view images with the help of ImageXtender?
When you install ImageXtender, it builds itself into your operating system (Windows XP), and registers all known extensions pf graphics files so that they can be viewed with Windows XP standard viewer. So, the process of viewing any images won't differ from viewing image formats available before.
Once ImageXtender is installed, you can view images in 3 different modes:
Preview, Thumbnails and Filmstrip.
Just launch Windows Explorer and open a folder containing image files, and you'll be able to view files of available formats in preview mode. Besides, the "Details" section located in the left pane of Windows Explorer will display all file info - its type, size and date of creation.
To view graphics files in Thumbnails mode, just launch Windows Explorer and open a folder containing image files, then go to Windows Explorer menu and select View-Thumbnails.
To view images in Filmstrip mode, launch Windows Explorer and open a folder containing image files, then go to Windows Explorer menu and select Filmstrip.
Click the image file to view it in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer modes.
ImageXtender has registered all graphics formats so that they are viewed in the standard Windows XP viewer. Ho do I undo it to view images with my favorite viewer?
If you want to keep using your favorite image viewer after you install ImageXtender and wish to preserve the ability of viewing new formats in Preview, Thumbnails and Filmstrip modes, you should use the function of restoring the set of registered extensions. To do it, go to Start - Programs - ImageXtender - ImageXtender-remove all. Then, press "apply" button.
To set or ajust the list of selected formats after you install ImageXtender, go to Start - Programs - ImageXtender - ImageXtender. Just check the formats you need in the window that appears. Then, press "apply" button.
