| 3. Display modes and scene operations | ||||||||
Displaying scenes for processing is done in two types of display windows.
The first is a "Thumbnail window" that displays a list of scenes for processing. The other is a "Preview window" for large display of only one selected scene.
The first is a "Thumbnail window" that displays a list of scenes for processing. The other is a "Preview window" for large display of only one selected scene.
The "Preview window" offers functions that divide the window in two for comparing two scenes or comparing results from adjusting different development parameters of the same scene.
Three display modes are available in SILKYPIX® Developer Studio Pro through the combination of these two kinds of windows.
| (1) | Thumbnail Mode |
The thumbnail display mode is a display mode in which the "Thumbnail window" is located in the main window and the preview window is not displayed.
| (2) | Preview Mode |
The preview display mode is a display mode in which the "Preview window" is located in the main window and the thumbnail window is not displayed.
| (3) | Combination Mode |
The "combination mode" is a mixed mode of the "thumbnail mode" and "preview mode", displaying Thumbnails and single view at the same time. You can select a format that displays both in the main window or a format that displays the "Thumbnail window" outside of the main window as a separate floating window.
3.1. Switching Display Modes
Switching to "Thumbnail Display Mode," "Preview Display Mode" and "Combination Display Mode" can be performed at any time with [Display (V)] in the menu or with the tool bar icon.
If you double click a selected scene in "Thumbnail Display Mode," it will switch to "Preview Display Mode."
If you double click a selected scene in "Thumbnail Display Mode," it will switch to "Preview Display Mode."
3.2. Preview window
The "Preview Window" is a window for displaying preview images of selected scenes.
By opening a preview image of a selected scene, you can view the entire image or enlarge just one part to check it.

The relationship between mouse operations and functions in the preview display are determined by the operation mode. There are five operation modes: "Fit display," "Zoom tools," "Loupe tools [Enlarge +]," "Loupe tools [Reduce -]" and "Palm tools."
The following explains how to change display location / magnification in each operation mode.
"Zoom tools" is a convenient operation mode in which you can enlarge or reduce the preview display instantly, and can change the displayed position. Both "Loupe tools" and "Palm tools" have these functions.
Once you master these operations, you can change the size and position of the preview display very quickly.
The "loupe tool [zoom in(+)]" offers a convenient mouse operation mode that can enlarge the image, with the center of enlargement being at the clicking point.
Since this mouse operation has been adopted by a lot of other applications, it appears familiar to many users.
When you operate this tool while pressing the [ALT] key, [zoom in(+)] does not work but [zoom out(-)] works.
The "loupe tool [zoom out(-)]" offers a convenient mouse operation mode that can reduce the image with the center of reduction being at the clicking point.

When you operate this tool while pressing the [ALT] key, [zoom out(-)] does not work but [zoom in(+)] works.
The palm tool offers a mouse operation mode that can grab and move a picture (panning operation). This operation similar to the mouse operation mode adopted by many other software.
In addition, when you click on a picture while pressing the [CTRL] key, the picture size is enlarged with the center of enlargement being at the clicking point.
When you click on a picture while pressing the Alt key, the picture size is reduced with the center of reduction being at the clicking point.
The following explains how to change display location / magnification in each operation mode.
| (1) | Fitted Display |
In this mode, the entire scene is displayed so as to fit the scene to the preview window. When resizing the window, its display magnification changes automatically according to the window size.
In this mode, you can execute the following mouse operation
Changing display magnification is possible from the menu, even if the operation mode is "Fit display." If the display magnification is changed, the operation will automatically switch to "Zoom tools."
In this mode, you can execute the following mouse operation
| Left Double-click | ... | Display magnification becomes 100% and the "zoom tool" is selected |
| [SHIFT] + Left-Drag | ... | The "zoom tool" is selected and you can change display magnification continuously. |

The preview display in the preview window can perform concurrent processing in two formats, a simple preview display that performs simple development processing for quick display of the whole, and the formal development preview display for development processing the exact same as the output image of development results.If you need to update the preview display, first use the quick simple preview display. In the background, parallel processing of partial formal development is performed at the same time. It is updated as display blocks that have completed formal development processing are automatically replaced.
If selected scenes are switched and development parameters are changed, it may seem at first that the image display is a little rough, but you will understand as details of the image change in order.
When changing development parameters, it is possible to confirm the process at different stages displayed in the simple preview without having to check the results of formal development.
In the "Outline Preview", only the outline processing which is shown below is performed to speed up.
| (1) | It processes partially culled RAW data according to the display size, and executes a first and simple demosaic process. Therefore, there are sometimes some jaggy and false colors around the outline. (In the "Formal Development", the entire RAW data are processed and a complete demosaic process and false color control.) is executed |
| (2) | It does not process noise reduction, false color control, sharpness, and other frequency surface filter processing. Therefore, when you modify the parameter "sharpness", "noise reduction", "demosaic sharp", "resolution plus", or "false color ctrl.", the "preview image" will not be updated during "Outline Preview". (In the "Formal Development", it processes all filters and the effect of the modified parameter is reflected on the display.) |
It processes data as well as the "Formal Development" except for the above description. Therefore, "exposure bias", "white balance", "tone", and "saturation" is reflected also in the "Outline Preview".
3.2.4. Formal Development Preview
Until "Formal Development" has been completed, two types of "preview images" are intermingled.While the
mark is displayed at the right end of the statusbar, it indicates that the "Formal Development" is still under operation and there still remains the result of "Outline Preview".When "Formal Development" is completed, the
mark disappears and it indicates that the whole "preview image" has been replaced to "Formal Development Preview". Then you can check the final development result on the screen.If you check 'Make operation comfortable by reducing the load' on the display setting dialog, "Formal Development Preview" is not displayed when displaying preview image smaller than 100%. And the parameter adjustment becomes able to be lightly done.
It provides you to reduce the memory cunsumption and the load of CPU when updating a preview image.
This setting is effective for the PC that has few built-in memories (less than roughly 1GB) or a notebook PC. Please refter to '9.2.4 Preview Mode'.
3.2.5. Grid Display You can display the grid on the preview image in the "Preview mode" or "Combination mode".

icon located to the lower right of the thumbnail window and designating "1 click sorting" from the sub-control.You can sort marked scenes and selected scenes with one click in the "1 click sorting" sub-control.You can sort using more sophisticated conditions, such as scenes with multiple marks, in the "Sorting scenes for processing" dialog.Canceling the "Sorting display" is also done from these dialogs and sub-controls.
When scenes for processing are sorted, "Sorting display" will be displayed in the title bar.
In "Sorting display" mode, scenes not sorted will temporarily be removed as subject to processing. When "Sorting display" mode is cancelled, all scenes will return to status as scenes for processing.
"Sorting display" will be automatically cancelled if a new file or folder is opened or if added and opened.
"Sorting display" will remain open if scenes are individually closed with the "Close selected scenes" function.
