Exporting Images Using Drag and Drop

You drag and drop images from the Image Gallery (Image Viewing Workspace and Darkroom mode) to a Microsoft application, like Word.

Important: When you drag and drop an image, it is converted to a JPEG file in the destination application.

If you need to export images with more export options than this, see Exporting Images.

To export an image, follow these steps:

In the Patient History or Image Viewing Workspace, do one of the following:
To export to a Microsoft Office document, click on the image you want to copy and drag it towards the open Microsoft Office application.
To attach an image to an email, open your email application and create a new email. In the Patient History or Image Viewing Workspace, click on the image you want to copy, and drag it towards the open email.

Note:

If the email application supports drag and drop, the image is attached to your email as a JPEG attachment.
This method does not work in web-based email applications.
To export an image to a folder on your computer, open Windows Explorer and display the destination folder. In the Patient History or Image Viewing Workspace, click on the image you want to export, and drag it towards the open Windows Explorer window.

Note: The JPEG filename for the image file includes the patient name and acquisition date.

Do not let go of the mouse button until you are ready to drop the image into your document. As you drag the image, the mouse pointer changes to .

4. When the mouse pointer is over the destination document, email or folder, let go of the mouse button. The selected image is dropped in the destination as a JPEG file.
