Creating Thumbnails
Thumbnails are small image representations of larger images. Thumbnails make it easier and
faster to look at or manage large groups of images. For example, software that lets you manage
a number of images often provides a miniature version of each image so that you don’t have to
remember each filename. A thumbnail is also used to symbolize a small and approximate version of an image or a brochure layout as a preliminary design step.

This chapter describes several of SnowView’s image editing tools.
Altering Viewable Image Size
Depending on the size of your image, you may want to use the zoom, pan, magnify or zoom
rect tool to enlarge the image view.
Note:
These tools magnify and reduce the size of images as they appear in the editing window. These tools do not change the actual size of images; they only
change the magnification used to view the images.
Zooming In and Out
You can magnify or reduce the size of images as they appear in the editing window by using the
Zoom In and Zoom Out tools. They change the level of magnification used to view images. You
cannot select specific areas to enlarge or minimize; the entire image is affected.
There are several ways to magnify images. Select one of the following methods:
l
Choose View > Zoom In.
l
Click
l
Right-click on the image and select Zoom In.
.

Magnifying Sections of Images In a Separate Window
You can enlarge areas of images by using the pan tool. When this tool is selected, a ‘pan window’ opens. This tool is similar to the Magnify tool, but magnifies the image in a separate window.
To magnify part of an image within another window:
1. Choose View > Pan to select the pan tool and display the Pan Window.
A check mark appears next to the tool and the Pan Window opens.
2. Hold down the left mouse button over the area you wish to magnify. The selected area is
displayed in the Pan Window. You can move the mouse around to magnify different
areas of the image.
Note:
To turn the Pan option off, choose View > Pan. The tool is de-selected.
24
Magnifying Sections of Images

1. Choose View > Zoom Rect to select the Zoom Rect tool.
A check mark appears next to the tool.
2. With the left mouse button pressed, drag your mouse over the area you wish to magnify.
When you release the mouse button, the selected area is magnified.
Notes:
This tool is available when Maintain Aspect Ratio is selected. See the {HyperLink}‘‘{paratext[Level2,Level3,Level4,Level5,Title2,Title3]}’’{Default ¹ Font} for
more information on this tool.
To turn magnification off, choose View > Zoom Rect. The tool is de-selected.
Adjusting Image Appearance
SnowView has several tools that change the appearance of an image. This section describes
these tools.
Aliasing
Aliasing is a process by which smooth curves and other lines become jagged because the resolution of the graphic file is not high enough to represent a smooth curve. Anti-Aliasing is a software technique used to diminish ‘step-like’ lines that should be smooth. Anti-aliasing surrounds
stair steps with intermediate shades of gray or gray scaling for 1-bit images, or color for color
images.
Note:
Aliasing is on when the aliasing tool is checked, and anti-aliasing is on when
the tool is not checked.
To turn aliasing on or off:
1. Choose View > Aliasing to display the Alias dialog.
25
2. Select the type of aliasing required.
Table 2.1: Alias Types

None
Preserve Black
Scale to Gray
Quality
Description
Aliasing is not turned on.
Checks neighboring pixels for any black so that any small black lines are
not removed when scaling a large black and white image. In most
instances it is recommended to use Preserve Black for large schematics
and engineering drawings.
Converts the image to gray scale values when displaying a large image.
In most cases it is recommended to use Scale to Gray for documents.
Higher quality setting improves quality of 1-bit images.
any changes.
Note:
Even though aliasing reduces jagged appearance of lines, it also makes the
image fuzzier.
Creating An Antique Effect
You can make color images look old by using the Antique Effect tool. It replaces colors with
sepia tones, reddish brown monochrome tints. When applied to a photo, it gives the picture a
warm, antique feeling.
To create a warmer picture, choose Process > Antique or click
26
.
Changing Multiple Palettes
You can dither multiple palette images to a fixed palette for better quality display by using the
AutoColor tool.
To turn AutoColor on and off, choose View > AutoColor. AutoColor is on when the tool is
checked and off when unchecked.
Viewing Color in PDF Files
You can see color PDF files in color by using the PDF Color tool. To turn PDF Color on and off,
choose View > PDF Color. PDF Color is on when the tool is checked and off when
unchecked.
Note:
This tool should be selected before viewing a color PDF file. Color images display in black and white if this tool is not turned on.
Correcting Response Curve of Computer
You can correct the response curve of a computer monitor by using the Gamma tool. This displays lower level values a little brighter and high clauses a little darker for better contrast.
Depending on your monitor, it may improve the quality of gray scale or 24-bit images.
To turn Gamma correction on and off, choose View > Gamma. Gamma is on when the tool is
checked and off when unchecked.
Note:
The same image may appear better or worse depending on the brand of the
computer monitor.
Modifying Image Size and Resolution
In SnowView, you can change the size of an image by specifying the pixel dimensions using
the Resize tool. This process permanently changes the size of the image.
To enlarge an image without permanently changing its size, use one of the many magnification
tools.
27
Resizing Images
You can change the size of images by using the Resize tool. When increasing the size, the
images are recalculated for the new size based on the data entered in the Horz and Vert fields.
Pixels are added to create the larger image. When decreasing image size, images are recalculated to fit into the reduced area.
To resize images:
1. Choose Process > Resize to display the Resize dialog.
2. Enter the appropriate horizontal and/or vertical pixels for the image.
By default, the Maintain Aspect Ratio checkbox is checked. This maintains the images’ original
proportions (width and height) during the resize process. If you want to distort the resized
image, click the Maintain Aspect Ratio checkbox, removing the check mark, to disable this
feature.
Note:
If the Maintain Aspect Ratio option is checked, the pixel value in one field automatically changes according to the value in the other field. For example, if you
enter a value in the horizontal field, the value in the vertical field is automatically calculated and displayed.
3. Check Maintain Aspect Ratio if applicable.
4. Click the Interp or Resize to resize the image, or click Cancel to abort the operation
without making any changes.
l
The Interp button scales the image up or down to the new height and
width. This permanently changes the image. This method averages neighboring pixels for scaling down all image types.
28
l
The Resize button scales the image to the specified settings.
Note:
Enlarging or reducing images may reduce their sharpness. To enlarge images
without permanently changing their size, use one of the magnification tools

This chapter describes how to visually correct images.
Overview of Image Corrections
There are several tools used to correct image imperfections. These tools can change the brightness, contrast, and sharpness of images. Skewed or rotated images, scattered or sudden
spots/noises, and black borders can also be corrected. This section explains how to use the
image correction tools in SnowView.
Note:
‘Error Code #7’ is displayed if the tool is not compatible with the image being
corrected.
Adjusting Contrast and Brightness
You can adjust images’ contrast and brightness by using the Attributes tool. The adjustment
range is from -127 to +127. This tool may be used repeatedly to create the best quality image.
Note:
This tool works on both color and black and white images.
To use the adjust the contrast and brightness of images:
1. Choose Process > Attributes to display the Attributes dialog.
33
2. Select the appropriate image contrast and brightness by moving the sliders to the
appropriate levels. As you move either slider, you can immediately see the results in the

You can fix skewed and rotated 1-bit images that were scanned at an angle by using the Deskew tool. It calculates the skew angle of the image (optimum of no more or less than -20 to 20),
by gathering the average of black pixels. The image is automatically rotated to the correct
angle.
To rotate or deskew images, choose Process > Deskew.
Removing Scattered Spots
You can eliminate noise, scattered or sudden (black and/or white) spots or noises, from 1-bit,
bi-level images, by using the Despeckle tool. Noise can appear when using a digital camera
with bad lighting conditions, since the camera uses higher ASA settings. You can determine the
degree to which images are despeckled.

This chapter describes how to convert images in SnowView.
Overview of Converting Images
There are sixteen different tools used to convert images. This section describes each tool in
detail. After each conversion method is described, a sample image is displayed showing the
effect of the conversion method.
Converting 1-bit Images Using Haltoning
You can convert 1-bit black and white images by using the Halftone tool, which uses a halftoning image filter. The tool converts bi-level 1-bit image into a series of small circles, as in a
newspaper photo.
To use the convert images to 1-bit using halftone image filters tool, choose
Convert > Halftone.
Below shows an image after Halftone conversion.
39
Reducing to 1-Bit Per Pixel
You can reduce 4, 8, 24, and 32 bit images to 1-bit per pixel by using the Bayer Mono tool,
which uses a Bayer dithering algorithm.
To reduce images by 1-bit color using bayer dithering, choose Convert > Bayer Mono.
Below shows an image after Bayer Mono conversion.
Reducing to 4-Bit Color
You can reduce 8, 24, and 32 bit images to 4-bit color by using the Bayer Color tool, which uses
a Bayer dithering algorithm.
To reduce images to 4-bit color, choose Convert > Bayer Color.
Below shows the image after Bayer Color conversion.
40
Converting to 1-Bit Using Stucky
You can convert images to 1-bit per pixel (black and white) by using the Diffusion Mono tool,
which uses a stucky error diffusion algorithm.
To convert images to 1-bit using stucky error diffusion, choose Convert > Diffusion Mono.
Below shows an image after Diffusion Mono conversion.
Converting to 4-Bits Using Stucky
You can convert images to 4-bits per pixel by using the Diffusion Color tool, which uses a
Stucky error diffusing algorithm.
41
To convert images to 4-bits per pixel using Stucky error diffusion, choose Convert > Diffusion
Color.
Below shows an image after Diffusion Color conversion.
Converting to Gray Scale
You can convert images using an arbitrary scale of monochrome (black and white) intensity varying between black and white by using the Gray Scale tool. The variations consist of various
shades of gray.
To convert images to 1-bit using halftone image filters, choose Convert > Gray Scale.
Below shows the an image after Gray Scale conversion.
42
Converting Using Thresholds
You can convert each pixel into black, white, or unchanged depending on whether the original
color value is within the threshold range by using the Threshold tool.
To convert image pixels:
1. Choose Convert > Threshold to display the Sharpness dialog.
1. Select the appropriate sharpness for the image by moving the slider
level.
to the appropriate
any changes.
Below shows an image after Threshold conversion.
Adding Color
The 256 Colors tool is a collection of specific colors that are available for an image in a digital
representation. The color palette represented in 8-bit color is 256 colors.
43
To add image color, choose Convert > 256 Colors.
Below shows an image after 256 Colors conversion.
Using Median Cut
The premise behind the Median Cut tool is to have every entry in the color map represent the
same number of pixels in the original image. This is accomplished by finding the smallest box
which contains all the colors in the image, then sorting the enclosed colors along the longest
axis of the box. The box is then split into two regions at the median of the sorted list. The steps
are repeated until the original color space has been divided into 256 regions.
The algorithm then divides the color space in the following manner. The representative colors
are found by averaging the colors in each box. The appropriate color map index is assigned to
each color in that box.
To use the Median Cut tool, choose Convert > Median Cut.
Below shows an image after Median Cut conversion.
44
Reducing Range of Colors By Converting to 4-Bits
You can modify 24-bit color images to display less of a range of colors by using the Octree 4
tool, which uses a color reduction algorithm. The image is converted to a 4-bit image.
To convert 24-bit images to 4-bit, choose Convert > Octree 4.
Below is an example of an image before conversion.
Below shows the same image after Octree 4 conversion.
45
Reducing Range of Color By Converting to 8-Bits
You can modifies 24-bit color images to display less of a range of colors by using the Octree 8
tool, which uses a color reduction algorithm. The image is converted to a 8-bit image.
To convert 24-bit images to 8-bit, choose Convert > Octree 8.
Below shows an image after Octree 8 conversion.
Converting 1 Through 7-Bit Images to 8-Bits
You can convert 1 through 7-bit images to 8-bit using the 8 Bit Promote tool.
To convert images to 8-bits, choose Convert > Promote 8.
46
Converting 1 Through 8 and 16-Bit Images to 24-Bits
You can convert 1 through 8 and 16-bit images to 24-bit by using the 24 Bit Promote tool. This
changes the internal data structure of images, not the data itself. The change in the internal data
allows you to utilize some of the functions not available to the original bit depth.
To convert images to 24-bits, choose Convert > 24 Bit Promote.
Converting 1, 4, 8, or 24-Bit Images to 32-Bits
You can convert 1, 4, 8, or 24-bit images to 32-bit alpha channel by using the 32 Bit Promote
tool. 32-bit alpha channel images contain 24-bits of red, green, and blue planes (8-bits each) and
an extra (8-bits) alpha channel plane for transparency. This changes the internal data structure
of images, not the data itself. The change in the internal data allows you to utilize some of the
functions not available to the original bit depth.
To convert images to 32-bits, choose Convert > 32 Bit Promote.
Changing 24-Bit RGB Images to 32-Bit CMYK
You can reduce 24-bit RGB data to 32-bit CMYK by using the RGB to CMYK tool. The black
plane is created. To convert RBG data to CMYK, choose Convert > RBG to CMYK.
Changing 32-Bit CMYK Images to 24-Bit RGB
You can convert 32-bit CMYK data to 24-bit RGB by using the CMYK to RGB tool. To convert
CMYK data to RGB, choose Convert > CMYK to RGB.

This chapter describes how to create and modify annotation objects.
Overview of Annotations
There are a variety of methods for marking up text and attaching notes and comments to
images. These annotations can be in text and graphic format.
Text annotations allow you to attach comments. These annotations include sticky notes and
text with transparent background.
Graphic annotations allow you to visually mark areas. These annotations include rectangles,
ellipses, polygons, and lines.
Annotations can be placed anywhere on images. There are several options that allow you to tailor the annotation to a particular style or format.
Note:
Once annotations are created, only the size, position, and text of the selected
object can be changed. You cannot change the font, color, or line width.
Creating Annotations
This section describes how to create annotation objects. You can create rectangles, lines,
ellipses, sticky notes, and more. For each object, you can select a variety of options, such as
background and foreground color, line style and width, and font style.
To create an annotation:
1. Choose Annotate > Create or click

Annotation Options
You can set the font and foreground and background color for your annotations. You can also
select the line style and width. This is helpful if you want to make your annotations identifiable
from the colors in your images, or to specify different colors or styles for each type of annotation.
The options you select apply to the current and subsequent annotations of the same type within
the image. They do not apply retroactively to prior annotations.
Note:
Make sure to select these options before creating annotation objects. Options
cannot be changed once objects are created.

This chapter describes how to scan a non Raster document for particular words or phrases.
Overview of PDF Text Searching
You can search through and highlight specific text within a non-raster file, such as a PDF file.
For each search, you determine the:
Text for which to search (each text string is case sensitive)
Pages within which to search
Color used to highlight the occurrences
You can search for up to five different text stings at once. Each search can use a different color
highlight; making it easier to distinguish each search string.
When searching for more criteria, you have the option of keeping the previously highlighted text,
or removing it before conducting your new search. You can also delete all previous search criteria and all highlights with one command.
Opening the PDF Search Dialog
You must open the PDF text search dialog to start your search.
To open the dialog:
1. Open the PDF file.
2. Choose Process > PDF Text Searching to display the PDF Text Searching dialog.

This chapter describes how to scan images into the SnowView software.
Scanning Overview
Scanning is one way of creating digital images that can be stored and used in computer applications. It allows you to acquire images that would be difficult or impossible to reproduce by
hand or with computer paint programs. By scanning pictures, you can ‘touch up’ images without
having to send them to a professional. The modified images can then be saved as one of many
supported image formats.
Scanning in SnowView requires a scanner with a TWAIN compliant driver. TWAIN is a standard software protocol and application programming interface (API) that regulates communication between software applications and imaging devices.
SnowView runs the TWAIN driver and the rest depends on the driver software supplied by the
manufacturer of the device. The driver does the scanning job and returns the images to SnowView.
Note:
Because each scanning software is different, please refer to the documentation supplied with your individual scanner if you need help.
Scanning Setup
The first step in scanning images is to select the scanner to use.
Selecting the Scanner
To select the scanner:
1. Choose Scan > Source to display the Select Source dialog.
The available scanners/cameras are displayed.
69
2. Highlight the appropriate source and click Select to accept the source, or click Cancel
to abort the operation without making any changes.
Image Scanning
Now that the scanner is selected, you can begin scanning your images and documents. There
are three different methods of scanning images: the Acquire, Pages, or Feeder tool.
Scanning From the Flatbed Section of the Scanner
You can scan images from the flatbed section of the scanner (not using the automatic document feeder) by using the Acquire tool.
To acquire an image:
1. Place the original image face down on the scanner glass and close the scanner lid.
2. Choose Scan > Acquire to display the image on the main SnowView dialog.
Scanning Through All Pages of a Document
You can scan all pages from the selected scanner by using the Pages tool. The images are
saved as 00000000.img, 00000001.img, etc. to the c:\ drive.
Note:
You must use the scanner’s automatic feeder.
To scan and save multiple images:
1. Place the original images face down in the automatic document feeder.
2. Choose Scan > Pages. The images are displayed on the main SnowView dialog and are
automatically saved to the c:\ drive.
Scanning From the Automatic Feeder Section of the Scanner
You can scan all pages from the scanner or output device by using the Feeder tool.
Note:
You must use the scanner’s automatic feeder.
To scan and save multiple images from the automatic feeder:
70
1. Place the original images face down in the automatic document feeder.
2. Choose Scan > Feeder to display images on the SnowView edit window.

This appendix describes the file type number and read/write capabilities of all supported file formats.
RasterMaster is a powerful conversion tool that can transform your documents and images into
many different formats. Some format types are limited in the amount of color (bit-depth) they
support in an image. Some file formats read and write only black and white (1-bit deep) and
other file formats support only color images (8+ bits deep). For many of these cases, RasterMaster automatically converts the pixel depth to the appropriate value, based on the output
format specified. The chart below will help you determine whether your black and white or color
document will be able to convert straight to the desired output format with no additional processing.
Table A.1: File Format Key
File Format
Description
1-bit
Black and white or monochrome images
Grayscale images, that may appear to be black and
white, but contain much more information, and are much
larger than 1-bit
Full color images
4-bit, 8-bit, 16-bit
8-bit, 16-bit,24-bit, 32-bit
When saving to a format, if the error returned is PIXEL_DEPTH_UNSUPPORTED (-21), the
output format does not support the current bits per pixel of the image you are trying to save. The
chart below will help you identify formats with compatible bit depths.
Please note that the higher the bit depth (bits per pixel), then the larger the size of the image on
the disk or in memory. The higher bit depth may offer more quality, but the performance may
suffer because there is a lot more image data to process. Many users may have images that
appear to be black and white, however, they are stored in 24-bit color. Converting these documents to a 1-bit file format will decrease the size of the file and improve performance with no
perceivable loss in quality.
If you have any questions about what format to select you may contact Snowbound Technical
support on the web at www.support.snowbound.com.

This appendix describes how to install the SnowView software.
Overview of the Installation Process
SnowView is easy to install as an evaluation, developer, or run-time version. The evaluation
copy is self-installing.
Both the developer and runtime version of SnowView ship as self installing, fully serialized
builds, which are very easy to install. This product is fully enabled as either as a developer or
runtime product.
SnowView installs from a self-extracting EXE running under Windows 98, NT, ME, XP, or
2000. By default, it installs in the C:\Program Files\Snowbound\SnowView directory.
When a developer's license is purchased, a Developer’s Version banner appears when viewing your first image. You must interactively select the notification box for the program to continue. Contact sales if you need to eliminate this notification for your development purposes.
When a distribution license is purchased, all banners disappear.
Notes:
You are running an evaluation version of the software if an evaluation banner
appears on the screen, demonstration is displayed on your images, or your
saved or printed images display with an X. Contact support (support@snowbound.com) for help with these issues.
Occasionally there may be confusion when viewing an image created by the
evaluation product, since it contains the X in the image. If you notice an X or
demonstration indication on an image, please verify with another viewer or
another image.
If you download an update or receive one from Snowbound technical support,
please ensure that you obtain a serialized version of the product before you go
into distribution.
Installing SnowView
There are three different versions of SnowView that can be installed, traditional SnowView,
SnowView with PDF, and SnowView with ABIC.
87
Note:
The installation screens displayed below may be slightly different depending
on which version of SnowView you install.
To install SnowView:
1. Double-click SnowView.exe to display display the SnowView Installation Wizard
dialog.
2. Click Next after reading the dialog to display the SnowView License Agreement dialog.
88
3. Read the license agreement.
l
If you agree with the license agreement, select “I accept the license agreement” and click Next.
l
If you do not agree with the license agreement, you cannot proceed with
the installation.
If you accept the licensing agreement, the SnowView Readme Information dialog displays.
89
4. Click Next after reading the Readme information to display the SnowView Destination
Folder dialog
5. Accept the default destination folder and click Next to display the SnowView Ready to
Install dialog.
90
6. Click Next to begin the installation process. Installation begins. This may take a few seconds. Once installation is complete, the SnowView Successfully Installed dialog displays.
7. Click Finish to complete the installation.
