Scale Images

Scale images readily using the Image Scale Tool.

Images can be scaled in CoMan either directly using the mouse or by drawing a reference line with a defined length.

Scale Image

In order to scale an image directly using the mouse, select Image > Scale Image from the Image menu. In case the project contains several image files, the image to be scaled has to be selected from a list. To scale an image, click on the image with the left mouse button and keep it depressed while moving the mouse cursor until the image has the desired proportions. Once the image has the correct dimensions, release the mouse button. The scale tool is active as long as no other tool is selected. Therefore it is possible to scale an image several times.

Scale Image Via Line

Images can also be scaled by drawing a reference line and defining a corresponding length for this line. This option can be selected by choosing Image > Scale Image Via Line from the Image menu. In case the project contains several image files, the image to be scaled has to be selected from a list. After that, the user will be asked to draw the reference line with the mouse by clicking left for starting and ending point of the line. When the line has been drawn, its corresponding length has to be specified in order to scale the image.

Note: Width and height of the image are always scaled proportionally. If this is not desired, the scaling has to be done manually (with lock ratio disabled) by adjusting the values for Width and Height separately in the Image Configuration dialog.  
Note: All tools can be closed by pressing the Esc key . In this case the active operation will be canceled and the Selection Tool will be activated.
