Loading and Saving Images
Loading Images
LS Software will load images in popular formats, including JPEG, TIFF, GIF, PNG, TGA and BMP. If the
image was previously saved using one of the LS software packages, then other image details such as the
image's scale, history and annotations will be loaded as well.
Many demo images are included with LS software, to increase user familiarity with the software.
Note: For a discussion of exactly how image information is stored and how to move
image files around on disk, or to send them to another LS user, see "Image Files."
To Load an Image
From the File menu, choose Open.
Tip: The Open button on the Toolbar can also be used. The software opens TIF, JPG,
AVI, BMP, TGA, GIF, PNG and SQV files.
Select the type of file to open, if unsure of the file type, select "All Files."
Navigate through the disk drives to the file folder in which the image is stored. LS software keeps
a folder structure of its own that it will show by default. Most images will probably be in this
folder.
Select the desired image file.
Click Open. An Image window containing the desired image will appear.
To Load a Demo Image
Go to File > Open Demo.
Select the desired demo image file from the list of available files.
Click Open. An Image window containing the desired image will appear.
Saving Images
Save images acquired in LS so that they can be used in later sessions. To Save a New Image:
From the File menu choose Save or Save As. The Save window will appear. The Save button on
the Toolbar can also be used.
Select the file type that to use from the drop-down list near the bottom of the window.
Navigate through the drive and folder structure to the location to save the image.
Enter a filename for the image.
Click Save.
To Save Changes to an Image
From the File menu choose Save (or use the Save button on the Toolbar). Changes will be
saved to the existing file, overwriting the previous image data.
