Edit Image

The image editing wizard makes it possible to perform standard image operations inside the CMS, i.e. without having to use applications installed locally on the client computers.

To edit an image, first select it in the Content Navigator, then call the Edit image... command from the Edit menu.

You can now select one of the three available categories Scale, Rotate / flip or filter and click OK, to apply an operation from this category. In total, the following operations are available:

• Scale
  • 100 px changes the image size so that the longer side is 100 pixels high or wide, respectively. The aspect ratio is kept.
  • 200 px changes the image size so that the longer side is 200 pixels high or wide, respectively. The aspect ratio is kept.
  • x % makes it possible to change the width and the height by the percentage specified .
  • Height x px changes the image so that its heigth is the number of pixels specified. The aspect ratio is kept.
  • Width x px changes the image so that its width is the number of pixels specified. The aspect ratio is kept.
• Rotate / mirror
  • Rotate CW by 90° rotates the image clockwise by 90°.
  • Rotate CCW by 90° rotates the image counter-clockwise by 90°.
  • Rotate by 180° rotates the image by 180°.
  • Flip horizontally flips the image in the vertical axis at the image center.
  • Flip vertically flips the image in the horizontal axis at the image center.
• Filter
  • Sharpen
  • Blur
  • Convert to grayscale
  • More contrast
  • Less contrast

After performing an image editing operation, (here More Contrast), the result is displayed next to the original image:

By means of the available buttons the following can be achieved:

• Back reverts the image and returns to the operation selection dialog. From there, you can also jump back to the category selection window by clicking Back once more.
• Next stores the displayed result in the draft version of the image file and returns to the category selection dialog so that you can continue to edit the image. It is now no longer possible to undo the last operation.
• OK stores the result in the draft version of the image file and exits the wizard.
• Cancel exits the wizard without storing the result of the last operation in the draft version of the image file.
