The Options window is where you change properties that will affect all of your PhotoKey 6 Projects. The Options window can be displayed by choosing Options from the File menu.
It is recommended that only experienced users change properties in the Options window.
General
| • | Open in editor - PhotoKey will use the default associated program on your computer when you use the Open in editor option. This option can be used to specify a preferred alternative. |
| • | Toolset position - the toolset list can be displayed on the left or right of the canvas. |
| • | Viewer controls position - the navigation controls can be displayed on the left or right of the canvas. |
| • | Default viewer downsample - alters the downsampling that occurs when settings are changed or the canvas is moved. |
| • | Save projects with relative paths - project files include relative file paths, which is useful for transferring entire projects and media between computers. |
Thumbnail cache
PhotoKey 6 Pro exclusive.
| • | Days to keep cache - the import list toolset stores thumbnails of your images for quick access. Thumbnails older than this value will be automatically deleted to save disc space. (Pro only) |
| • | Clear thumbnail cache - removes all cached thumbnails. Thumbnails will need to be recreated when opening saved projects. |
PhotoKey 6 Pro exclusive.
PhotoKey 6 Pro includes an integrated emailing system which can email images direct to clients, a Facebook wall or a Flickr page.
For detailed information on the email system and options, please check out the Email export chapter.
Color
PhotoKey includes a color management system for use with color profiles.
Using color profiles throughout your workflow ensures accurate color reproduction from camera to print.
| • | Enable color management - turns the color management system on and off. |
| • | Always use foreground layer embedded color profile - when turned on, PhotoKey will always use the current foreground image's embedded profile as the workspace. |
| • | Default workspace profile - if you are not using the foreground's color profile, you can instead select a specific color profile. The custom profile path option can be used to select a specific ICC file on your computer. |
| • | Rendering intent - if the source color space exceeds that of the destination, this setting determines how the adjustment is handled. For further reading please see this Wikipedia article. |
