How to use Pixiion This is an overview of how to use Pixiion to convert your fies from one format to another. Keep in mind that Pixiion is designed to earn from you as you go. It wi remember your settings from each time you convert so that repeated tasks are faster for you. Adding and Removing Fies To convert your image fies into the desired format, begin by adding fies into the fie ist window. Either cick the Add Fie(s) button, or seect Fie -> Add Fie(s) from the menu. You may aso cick the Add Foder button to add a image fies contained in the specified foder. Once your fies have been added, if you wish to remove any of them, seect the fies and either cick the Remove button, or seect Fie -> Remove Seected Fie(s) from the menu. To seect mutipe fies at once, press the Ctr key and eft-cick on the fies you want to seect. To highight a the fies, either seect Fie -> Seect A from the menu, or press Ctr + A. Seecting an Output Foder Near the bottom of the main window, there is a fied abeed Output foder, where you can specify the fie directory where converted fies wi be stored. You can either type in the desired foder, or you can cick the Browse button beow the fied. Doing so wi bring up a window where you can browse for the destination directory on your hard drive. The ast severa directories you have chosen in the past are stored in a drop-down ist, and can be accessed by cicking the arrow on the right edge of the text fied. Seecting an Output Format The fied abeed Output Format is where you can seect the desired output fie format for your fies. If the seected codec has adjustabe options, by cicking the Compression Settings... or Enc oder Settings... button, a diaog wi appear detaiing the options you can change. The foowing image codecs have adjustabe options: BMP ICO JPEG 4
JPEG XR JPEG 2000 PDF PGF PNM WMF WEBP Adjusting Output Effects Cick the Effects button to adjust settings that affect the appearance of the converted image, such as resizing, rotation, text, and watermarking (see Image Effects for more detais). Preserving Image Metadata Check the Preserve metadata checkbox to preserve the input images' metadata to the converted images. Current version supports preserving EXIF metadata for JPEG, JPEG XR and TIFF fie formats. Converting Fies Once you have set the output foder and format, you can then seect the fies from the ist you want to convert, and either cick the Convert button, or seect Fie -> Convert from the menu. If you cick the Convert button without any fies seected, a fies in the ist wi be converted by defaut. Any effects, options, output settings or ist changes that occur during a conversion wi affect future conversions and not the existing conversion. Resizing Fies You can do batch resizing image fies with Pixiion by combining functions of Adjusting Output Effects and Converting Fies. Make sure you seect the output format as the same with the input format. Cick the Resize button from the toobar. Set your resize options for output images (see Image Effects for more detais). When finish setting, cick on OK button to back to the main screen and cick Convert button to produce resized images. Aternativey, you can do resizing via Scae options of the Adjusting Output Effects diaog. 5
Combine Fies You can seect Fie -> Combine Images from the menu to combine a seected images and set TIFF, PDF, or GIF as the output format. You can rearrange the order of the images in the Combine Images diaog. Faied Conversions The conversion status coumn in the image fie ist wi report success, faiure or which images are queued for the current conversion. If images fai with a "Save faied" message, then you might need to specify an aternative output foder. "Load faied" messages wi occur if Pixiion determines that the image is either corrupt or is actuay a different fie format disguised as an image. If a conversion has a status of "Skipped", then Pixiion aborted conversion on that image because an existing image of the same name aready exists (see Program Options/Preferences for more detais). Preview Fie You can preview the seected image in a new window by doube cicking it or seecting "Preview seected image" in the context menu. In the preview window, move the sider bar to change the zoom eve or use shortcut Ctr+Mouse Whee. 6

Program Options/Preferences Overwrite If Pixiion tries to write a converted image to an aready existing fie name: Skip existing images: Pixiion wi not overwrite any existing fies. Repace existing images: Pixiion wi overwrite existing fies with newy converted images. Append number to fiename: Pixiion wi save converted images with modified names to avoid overwriting fies. DPI When converting a non-pixe based image to a pixe based image, DPI or the pixe width of the output can be specified: DPI (Dots per inch): Specify DPI resoution for conversion. The higher the DPI the better the quaity but the bigger the fie size. Pixe Width: Specify pixe width of output. Pease consider the aspect ratio of the origina image before setting this parameter. The higher the pixes the better the quaity but the bigger the fie size. DPI option wi not be prompted before conversion if "Don't prompt before conversion" check box is ticked. Background The foowing image formats do not support per-pixe transparency: Joint Photographic Experts Group (*.JPEG;*.JPG;) Persona Computer exchange (*.PCX) Portabe Document Format (*.PDF) Portabe Pixmap (*.PBM;*.PGM;*.PPM;*.PNM) Sun Raster (*.RAS) Lossess WebP compression (*.WEBP) Wireess Bitmap (*.WBMP) When converting an image with per-pixe transparency to one of these formats, the transparent background can be repaced by: Fixed coor Checker pattern Background image fie 9
If the seected background image fie sti has transparent background, the seected image fie's background wi simpy be repaced by the white coor. Background option wi not be prompted before conversion if "Don't prompt before conversion" check box is ticked. 10
Combine Images Source image document ist A source image documents in the ist are seected from the documents in Pixiion's main image ist. Initiay, the order of image documents is the same as the main image ist. The order can be rearranged using Move Up and Move Down button. Move Up: Move up the seected document in the ist. Move Down: Move down the seected document in the ist. Combine images A source image documents in the ist are combined into a image document in order using C ombine images... button. 11
Image Effects Image Scaing Change the pixe dimensions of converted images. Note: The output dimensions of ICO fies is determined by the ICO encoder settings. For best resuts when using the ICO output format, pease disabe image scaing. Scae by No change - Pixe dimensions of images are not changed on conversion. Percentage - Images are scaed using specified percentage without distorting the origina image's aspect ratio. Long side - The ong side of images are scaed to specified vaue without distorting the origina image's aspect ratio. Origina aspect ratio - The converted image wi have the argest pixe dimensions fitting into the suppied width and height parameters without distorting the origina image's aspect ratio. Predefined frame size - The converted image wi be scaed to fit the seected predefined frame size with a possibe aspect ratio distortion. If your preferred frame size is not in the ist, pease use the Custom Frame Size option Custom frame size - The converted image wi have the suppied width and height parameters with a possibe aspect ratio distortion. Long side in pixes Specify desired ong side in pixes after scaing. Width in pixes and Height in pixes Specify desired dimensions for converted images. If both parameters are zero, the converted image wi keep the origina image's pixe dimensions (i.e. no change). If Scaing is Origina aspect ratio If "Width in pixes" is zero and "Height in pixes" is nonzero, the converted image's height wi foow "Height in pixes" (the width wi be computed to keep the aspect ratio). If "Width in pixes" is nonzero and "Height in pixes" is zero, the converted image's width wi foow "Width in pixes" (the height wi be computed to keep the aspect ratio). If both parameters are nonzero, the one that wi give a smaer image wi be used (the other wi be computed to keep the aspect ratio). 12
If Scaing is Custom frame size If "Width in pixes" is zero and "Height in pixes" is nonzero, the converted image's height wi foow "Height in pixes" (the width is not changed). If "Width in pixes" is nonzero and "Height in pixes" is zero, the converted image's width wi foow "Width in pixes" (the height is not changed). If both parameters are nonzero, the converted image wi foow the specified parameters. Fiter Determines what happens to neighboring pixes when pixes are added or removed due to the source image and converted image having different pixe dimensions. Sharp square pixes - Best for ow resoution images. Smooth burry pixes - Best for photographs and scanned images. Note that the fiter option has no effect if the source image and converted image have the same pixe dimensions. Fip Fip the image Horizontay or Verticay. Horizonta. Vertica. Rotate Rotate by mutipes of 90 degrees in a cockwise direction. No change. 90 Degrees. 180 Degrees. 270 Degrees. 13
Watermarking Pixiion can pace (separate or combined) text and image watermarks on your converted images. The watermark preview area can hep you to visuaize what your fina images wi ook ike with the watermarks. Watermark Text The foowing properties contro how the watermark text wi appear: Enabe - If the Enabe checkbox is ticked, a future image conversions wi have the watermark text appied. Text - Input here the watermark text. Font - Cick the popup menu to seect the font typeface. Bod and Itaic - Press the buttons as needed. Size - Choose "Width" or "Height" to specify which dimension to be used for the "Pixes" and "Percent" settings. Seect "Pixes" and specify the pixe dimension of the text. Or seect "Percent" and side to adjust the size. It is scaed as a percentage of the fina height of each individuay converted image. Manua caibration wi be required to ensure that the entire watermark text fits on the converted images whie sti being readabe. Opacity - Side to reduce the watermark text opacity to increase the visibiity of the converted image from behind the watermark text. Aignment - Cick the 3x3 grid of buttons to aign the watermark text to different snapping points on your converted image. You can set offsets according to the seected aignment. Coor - Cick the coor box to change the text's foreground coor. Background coor - Tick the checkbox and cick the coor box to change the text's background coor. Watermark Image The foowing properties contro how the watermark image wi appear: Enabe - If the Enabe checkbox is ticked, a future image conversions wi have the watermark image appied. Browse button and image name - Cick the browse button to choose a watermark image. When a watermark image has been seected, the image fie name wi appear next to the Browse button. Size - Side to adjust the size of the watermark image. The maximum size wi not exceed the converted image's post-conversion width or height. Fiter - Seect "Sharp square pixes" (best for ow resoution images), or "Smooth burry pixes" (best for photographs and scanned images). 14
Opacity - Side to reduce the watermark image opacity to increase the visibiity of the converted image from behind the watermark image. Aignment - Cick the 3x3 grid of buttons to aign the watermark image to different snapping points on your converted image. You can set offsets from top-eft corner when top-eft aignment is seected.
