Main Application Window
The main application window can be divided into three parts. The top third of the window and the
bottom row of buttons contain the major functionality of ImageWell. In between these parts (the
middle portion) is a tabbed interface that lets you change the image properties, add a shape,
and/or add a watermark. Additional functionality can be be accessed from the main menu, such
as drop shadows, copy & paste font style, copy Applescript, url history, and more. The 'More'
button provides more options such as rotate image, screen grab, image background color, etc.
The Top Third
The top third of the window contains the image well, the Location drop down box, and the Send
button. Clicking the Send button will reveal a progress bar at the top of the window showing the
file transfer status.
Bottom Row of Buttons
On the bottom of the main window, the 'Edit' button reveals the Edit Panel. The edit panel lets
you crop the image, add text and text boxes, labels, thoughts clouds or talking balloons, as well
as other draw objects, such as arrows, circles, and squares. You can also adjust the alignment,
style, color, and size of the font used in the label, draw object, or text box, as well as adjust the
width and color of an object's border. The color fill for each object can also be changed.
To the right of the Edit button is the 'More' button. Clicking on the More button will reveal the
More Drawer, which offers more actions and options to apply to your image. Here you can
choose the background color for your image, set the image compression quality from low to
high, choose the URL and/or tags you would like copied to the clipboard, rotate the image, or
access the screen grab, copy & paste, and open & save functions. A handy "Locations" button is
also available in the 'More' drawer so you can access your location properties quickly and easily.
To the left of the Edit button is the Preview button. Click on this button to web preview your
image before sending it to the web. You can review changes in size and resolution, and select
the 'Random File Name' generator button to have ImageWell automatically assign a random and
unique name to your file.
Main Window Tabs
Image Tab:
The first Function Tab (far left on main window) shown in the picture at the top of this page, is
the 'Image' tab. Click on the Image tab to use the file naming, file type (jpg, tiff, png), and
resize features available just below the tab. Type in the name of your image file, select the type
of file by clicking on the up + down arrow button, and either use the control slider to set the size
for your image or manually input the dimensions you would like your image to have. Images
can be resized from 5% to 100% or more of the original size. The information below the width
and height boxes provides other helpful information about the image and is not editable.
Shape Tab:
The middle function tab (between the Image and Watermark tab)
shown in the picture at the top of this page, is the 'Shape' tab. Click on
the Shape tab to reveal the 12 available shapes you can choose from
to frame your picture. You can change the border color and width, and
for some shapes, geometric properties such as radius, angle, corners,
and sides can be adjusted. You can add a drop shadow to the shaped
image from 'Tools' on the Main Menu.
Watermark Tab:
The third Function Tab (far right on main window) shown in the picture
at the top of this page, is the 'Watermark' tab. Click on the Watermark
tab to add watermark text to your image. The drop down menu allows
you to choose the placement of the watermark on your image. Type in
the text for the watermark into the text field box. You can adjust the
size, color, and opacity of the text. You cannot adjust the font type
used.
