The Inspector (Mac) or Details (Windows) window shows information about the currently viewed source, format or output. If a source is visible in the frontmost job window, the info window will contain three tabs.
The General tab shows shows summary information about the image file and its settings. You can see the original file name, and file size, the dimensions of the image, and the modification date for the file. Source settings shown include the format of the image, the calculated resolution of the panorama, and the pan and tilt limits used for the panorama (reflected by the mask on 360 One VR sources).
The Annotations tab shows text information that can be attached to a source. Usually these fields will be empty. You can type information about the picture, such as the photographer, a copyright statement, or a description of the scene into these fields. The contents of these fields can be accessed through a custom web script, enabling you to add custom textual information to your automatically generated web page.
The Exposure tab shows information recorded in the image by the digital camera. Also known as EXIF tags, this information may include the make and model of the camera, exposure times, aperture settings, focal lengths, or even GPS coordinates. The tags shown for any image will vary from camera to camera, or may not be present at all. You can select the tags in the list to copy or drag into another application. This information can be useful to diagnose problems with your images, or can provide a reference on how a good shot was achieved.
When a format is selected in the active job, the view changes to display the (editable) name of the format, along with a listing of the customized settings for that format.
The log window shows a detailed description of jobs that have been unwarped. The window may appear after unwarping a job if an error occurred. You can show it directly by choosing the View → Show Log
menu.
Each log entry is stamped with a date and time. Following is a message describing the entry. You may see entries for files created or replaced, or errors that occurred on certain sources.
Depending on your preferences, the log window will show entries saved from previous PhotoWarp sessions, or just entries for the latest session.
The Preferences window shows settings that control the way PhotoWarp behaves. You can customize PhotoWarp to better suit your needs in this way. Choose the PhotoWarp → Preferences...
menu to reveal the Preferences window.
PhotoWarp 2 includes an auto update capability that can retrieve newly updated components from EyeSee360's web server automatically. Enabling this checkbox will allow PhotoWarp to check with the server when the application is started for available updates. For the curious, auto update transmits the version of PhotoWarp you are using, along with your platform and operating system to the server to perform this function. If unchecked, auto update will not activate unless Help → Check for Updates...
is selected manually.
While unwarping a job, the current image is displayed as it is being unwarped. You can turn off the progress display if you find it distracting or unnecessary. This can also marginally improve performance while unwarping.
This controls the persistance of the log window. If selected, the log will be saved to the PhotoWarp application support folder, and reloaded the next time you open PhotoWarp. You can choose the maximum number of log entries to record in this file.
The image cache allows you to control how much memory PhotoWarp may use to speed the loading of source images. PhotoWarp will use only as much RAM as necessary to perform a job, but you can provide additional RAM to be used as an image cache. The image cache keeps recently used images in memory, so you can switch between sources more quickly. The control is shown as a percentage of the physical RAM on your computer. You can use up to half of your computer's RAM as an image cache. Note that using too much memory for your cache can have the opposite effect on performance if you switch between applications frequently.
