 Application Icon Images and Movies
 

DEVONthink Personal uses Mac OS X's core technologies to display images and movies and therefore makes a very nice image and movie viewer.

You can scroll larger images using the scroll bars, the arrow keys as well as the Space and Shift-Space keys.


Edit Panel

Double-clicking an imported image opens an edit panel that allows you to do some basic image editing. The modified image is saved as losslessly encoded TIFF file.

  • Change the exposure.
  • Set white and black point.
  • Change gamma, saturation, contrast, and brightness.
  • Adjust sharpness.
  • Adjust sepia effect.

In addition it offers a number of predefined image effects and lists available meta data contained in the image file itself.

Images (and PDF pages) can also be rotated using the Edit > Rotate menu commands, the toolbar, or the contextual menu.


Toolbar

For images and movies, DEVONthink Personal provides a set of tools that allows you to zoom the picture to whatever zoom factor you like, or to view the image in full screen mode. Use Open Externally to open the image in an external editor. Movies appear with the standard QuickTime controller.

Note: Editing an image stored internally in the database with an external editor does not modify the image data stored in DEVONthink Personal.


Contextual Menu

  • Play/Stop: Starts playing the movie or stops playing it.
  • Undo/Redo: Revokes the last action or redoes it.
  • Cut/Copy/Paste: Cuts, copies, or pastes the selected movie.
  • Actual Size: Zooms the image so that it appears as its real size, calculated from the actual pixels and the resolution information contained in the image.
  • All Pixels: Zooms the image so that one image pixel equals one pixel on the screen.
  • Zoom In/Out: Zooms in and out of the picture.
  • Zoom To Fit: Zooms the image so that it completely fits into the view/edit pane or the document window.
  • Zoom To Width: Zooms the image so that it appears exactly as wide as the view/edit pane or the document window.
  • Select/Deselect All: Selects or deselects the movie.
  • Set As Thumbnail: Makes the current frame the thumbnail of the movie. Only available when the movie is not playing.
  • Rotate Left/Right: Rotate the image left and right. It is saved in the lossless TIFF format.
