To view your entry choose the "View" icon to save your entry choose the "Save" icon. (Note: you must choose "View" or "Save" to be able to turn pages backwards and forwards.) If do not choose "Save" at a later point when you close the Digilog you will be asked if you want to save the changes or not.

(Resizing images is dealt with in the next topic)

• Image Manipulation - If you are familiar with a particular image editing program then we recommend that you edit your images first, however the Digilog has some useful editing features accessible via a popup menu, this can be activated by right clicking on any inserted image. (Note: Large image files will increase the file size of the Digilog this can slow down the usual operation of the Digilog you can use the image optimiser to reduce the file size see below) Learn more >>>>

• Printing - Choose the "Print" icon if you wish just to print the current page, the number is displayed in the "pages" box of the "Print Dialog" window otherwise the whole log will be sent to print!.

(Saving to removable media such as USB memory drives is recommended for ALL important data not just your Digilog).

• Background On/Off Choose the "Background" icon this will remove the background from the Digilog choosing "Background" whilst the background is not visible will reinstate the background.

• Highlights Highlights work in a similar fashion to notes choose the "Highlights" icon and "add new highlight" from the right click menu and then drag the "pen" across the part of the Digilog you want to highlight. Learn more >>>>

Image Manipulation

Insert/Change Image - has exactly the effect as double clicking the image area, as described in previous section.
Fit Horizontally & fit vertically - this will depend on the orientation (Portrait or landscape) of the image area and the image you are inserting.
Fit & trim Horizontally & fit & trim vertically - this is the same as above but the image is "trimmed" to fit the image area.
Remove the image - does exactly what it says.
Zoom in or out - when activated clicking the image will zoom in or out allowing the selection of a specific area of the image that you would like to view, this should be used in conjunction with the "trim" feature.
Zoom ratio - is similar to zoom in or out but uses a percentage e.g. 25% rather than clicking on the image.
Move the image - does exactly what it says.
Optimise the image - enables the reduction the image file size. Only ".jpg" (JPEG) and ".bmp" (BITMAP) files can be optimised Optimising means reducing the quality of the image.

Trim image - this feature will trim the visible part of the image and should be used in conjunction with the zoom in/out feature to edit the image.
