Program Preferences

The button opens the Preferences dialog box. It looks like this:

• Language. Change the language by selecting another from the drop-down list.
• Interface Scale. Choose the size of the interface elements. When it is set to Auto, the program workspace will automatically scale to fit the screen resolution.
• Interface Theme. Select the style of the program interface: Light, Gray or Dark.
• Autorun Mode. In this mode any change in the settings or navigation on the image will result in an automatic start of image processing. When the Autorun Mode is Off, the image processing starts by pressing the button .
• Old Algorithm. When the check-box is turned on, the old image resizing algorithm from previous versions of the program (up to version 9.7) will be applied.
• Initial Image Scale. This option defines the way the image is scaled in the Image Window.

  - Fit to View: the image is completely visible in the window;
  - 100%: the image doesn’t scale (generally, only a part of the image is visible).

• Hints Panel. When you hover over parameters and buttons with the cursor you can see a brief description of them in the Hints field. You can choose how the hints will be shown:

  - Under Image Window. It shows the hints in the main window, under the image. This mode is useful if there is not enough space by height to display this field under the settings;
  - Under Settings Panel. Select this to show hints at the bottom of the right part, under the settings;
  - Hide. Use this option if you do not need the hints.

• Recent Files (available only in the standalone version). The number of recent documents. The list of the recent files, sorted by time, become visible by right mouse clicking on . Maximum: 30 files.
• Use OS File Dialog check-box (only in the standalone version). You can check this option if you want to use the System Open/Save Dialog. By default, the AKVIS File Dialog is used.
• Lock the Control Panel check-box. It disables the possibility to hide/show the top panel. If the check-box is selected the panel is always visible. Uncheck the option to unlock the panel, and you will be able to hide/show it by clicking on the small triangle button (in the middle of the panel). The minimized panel will be shown when moving the cursor over it.
• Use GPU. The check-box lets you turn on GPU acceleration. If your computer does not support GPU acceleration the check-box will be disabled.

To save changes made in the Preferences window press OK.
