a ruler which is measured in pixels at 100 pixel intervals. There is an

arrow on each ruler which show the vertical and horizontal position of
|
|
the cursor. The position of the cursor can also be seen in figures at
|
|
the bottom left corner of the window. This is in the format X
|

direction, Y direction and is in pixels or the image's unit.

> Also at the bottom of the image window (on the "Statusbar") is

the filename and other information about the image such as the zoom

level, which is also displayed as the title to the window. The
|
|
information displayed can be configured in Preferences -> Image Windows
|
|
-> Image Title Format. Next to this is a section which displayed a
|
|
progress bar when an operation will take a long time. That action can
|
|
be aborted by clicking the "Cancel" button next to it.

> Just above the co-ordinates display, there are two buttons, one

which shows a dotted square, and the other a red square. Clicking the
|
|
red square invokes the "Quick Mask". This adds an extra channel which
|
|
can be edited to make complex selections. Once the mask has been
|
|
edited to your satisfaction, click the dotted square to convert it into
|
|
a standard selection. The color an opacity of the mask can be
|
|
configured by double-clicking either button.

> The final feature of the image window is the preview box - this
|
|
looks like four arrows going outwards and is at the bottom right
|
|
corner. Clicking and holding this button will show a small preview of

|
the whole image. This is particularly use if you are working at very
|
|
high zoom levels and want to see how your changes affect the
|
|
overall image.

> Many of these features can be configured, or turned on and off

in Preferences -> Image Windows, so you may need to make some changes

to see all the features.
