Image Editor

The Image Editor dialog is used to edit a clipboard image before attaching the image to a Vault Professional Item.

The process is as follows:

  1. Open an item (either new or existing) in the Browse Work Items dialog.

  2. Capture/copy an image to the clipboard (a screenshot, for example).

  3. Click the Add From Clipboard button located below the attachments table.  (Note:  You may also paste the image using Ctrl+V with focus in the attachments table).

  4. The image will be opened in the Image Preview dialog.  At this point, one may either choose the Edit button to open the Image Editor dialog or simply enter a filename and/or description to complete the attachment process.

The Image Editor dialog provides two tools for modifying images:  a crop tool and a pen tool.  The pen tool has multiple size choices and a choice of colors.  The editor also features unlimited Undo/Redo of operations performed on the image.

To quickly perform a crop, drag the crop rectangle over the desired area and double-click anywhere within the crop rectangle to accept the crop.  To quickly cancel a crop rectangle, click anywhere outside the crop rectangle.
