Manually Arranging Images

You can manually move images to any place in the workspace, or float them on top of other images, other parts of the application, or outside the application (if the application is restored down or you have more than one computer monitor).

Once you have opened one or more images in the Image Viewing Workspace, you can manually organize and arrange your workspace.

 

To do this action...

Do the following...

To move an image in the Image Viewing Workspace...

Click and drag down the title bar of the image to move the whole image to a new position in the workspace.

Tip: You can drag an image outside the application when:

  • It is not maximized to full computer screen.

  • You are using more than one monitor.

If you work with images outside the workspace, you can drag and drop them back onto the workspace, or simply move the application screen with the mouse to “recapture” the images into the workspace.

Tip: The quickest way to get all of your images back into the workspace is to activate Auto-Arrange.

To select and deselect images in the Image Viewing Workspace...

Do one of the following:

  • Click on an image. The title bar and frame around the image are highlighted in blue to show that it has been selected.

  • To select multiple images, hold the Ctrl key down while clicking the images you want to select. All selected images are displayed with blue title bars and frames.

  • To select all images, press Ctrl + A. All images are selected and displayed with blue title bars and frames.

  • To deselect all images, click anywhere on the Image Viewing Workspace outside of any image. All images are deselected.

To resize an image in the Image Viewing Workspace...

Click and drag on the image border. As the image is resized, the ratio of image height and width remains constant.

To close all images in the Image Viewing Workspace...

Do one of the following:

Click the Screen Options icon () and select Clear Workspace. All images are cleared from the Image Viewing Workspace. See Using the Screen Options.

Right-click on the Image Viewing Workspace and select Clear Workspace.
