1.1 ToolBar Controls and Operation

The PhotoMazing ToolBar control provides a quick and effortless method for setting up your canvas creation and producing very pleasant results. With one click, you can activate several dialogs and even transform and resize hundreds or even thousands of images at once! As shown in the table below, each toolbar icon has three "states" or display characteristics - Hot, Unselected, Disabled:

Hot - indicates the icon is enabled and the mouse cursor is over it's target area.

Unselected - indicates the icon is active but the mouse cursor is not over it's target area.
ToolBarControls_02.jpg (9618 bytes)

Disabled - indicates the icon is disabled and not active.
ToolBarControls_03.jpg (6676 bytes)

Note: in most cases, PhotoMazing will automatically disable an icon if there is no valid action that can be taken at that time. Example: if your image list is empty, you cannot save the canvas to disk .

A description of the functionality of each toolbar button is described below. The registered vs. unregistered column illustrates the advantages or registering this product in many cases. Note: an active toolbar button will "light up" or change state when you place the mouse cursor over it.
