Display preferences

The display preferences determine how PhotoFlash opens image files and the
background color for images when they’re open. The display preference
settings appear in the upper-right area of the Preferences dialog box.

By default, PhotoFlash opens image files at actual size (100%), with no
magnification or reduction. If you’re working with a large image on a small
screen, some of the image may not be visible. You can change the default
setting so that PhotoFlash scales the image to fit the screen. To do this, click
the Open to Fit on Screen button.

The background color is the color that appears if you delete or move part of
the image or if you enlarge the work area. For example, if you use the Move
and Rotate tools to reposition parts of the image, the background (behind the
image) will “show through.”

The default setting for the background color is white. You can change this
setting to any color that you want.

To change the background color, follow these steps:

Click the Background Color box.
