A proof is a representation of an image. Right clicking on a proof shows the proof context menu.
Proofs can be selected by single clicking on them and deselected by single clicking them again. Selected proofs are indicated with a recessed border (the exact style and size of this border can be changed in MUI settings).
To operate on selected proofs in a browse window, right click anywhere in the blank space around proofs to show the selected menu.
Proofs can be dragged and dropped. For example to move a proof from one location to another, drag and drop the proof from one browse window to another browse window. Proofs can also be dragged and dropped onto existing show and information windows. MUI indicates a drop is allowed when the mouse pointer moves on top of a droppable area by highlighting the area (the appearance of the droppable area can be changed in MUI settings).
The way proofs appear in browse windows can be configured in the settings window.
The proof context menu appears when the right mouse button is pressed while the mouse pointer is over a proof.
Opens an information window, showing information on the proof. Proofs can also be dragged and dropped onto existing information windows.
Shows the image associated with the proof in a show window. The default viewer can be configured in the settings window. If the image associated with a proof cannot be found an error is displayed. Proofs can also be dragged and dropped onto existing show windows.
Copies the image to a new path. An ASL requester requests the destination directory. When copying a file, the date stamp and file comment of the source file are copied to the destination file. If the file exists in the destination directory a requester opens confirming the overwriting of the file.
Copy checks if the destination is write protected and if so asks the user to retry or cancel.
Move a proof and/or its associated image to another location using the move window.
Applies auto gamma correction to the proof image (not the original image). PhotoFolio can be configured so that all created proofs are automatically gamma corrected.
Opens the change attributes window allowing the attributes of the proof to be changed.
Selects proofs from this proof to the last proof in the window.
Selects proofs from the first proof in the window to this proof.
Saves the proof. If you don't want to make an entire directory of proofs, load the images directly into a browse window and then save the proofs you want to keep.
Saves the image the proof represents. The available save formats are shown as a submenu under this menu item.
If a format other than jpeg is chosen, the jpeg quality slider does not appear.
The default save path can be configured in the settings window. The default jpeg save quality (if you choose to save in the jpeg file format) can also be configured there.
If the location of the original image has changed after a proof is created, this function is required to tell the proofs where the image is now located. An ASL requester opens; select the path the image now resides in and click ok. The proof is then retargeted to point to the new location.
If an unsaved proof is being retargeted and settings are set to linked then the proof is saved using the retargeted path. If the settings are non-linked, an error message is displayed.
1.
Non-linked proofs cannot be re-targeted.
2. If a proofs top line of text is bold then the proof has been saved. If the top line of text is not bold then the proof is unsaved. A red square displayed in the bottom right hand corner of a proof also indicates it has not been saved.
The text below the proof is removed and replaced with string and Cancel gadgets. The proof can be left in rename mode while the browse window is used as normal before actually renaming the image. Any number of proofs can be left in rename mode simultaneously. Pressing enter in the string gadget renames the image.
Deletes the proof and the image associated with it. A confirmation requester is displayed before anything is deleted.
