The current directory is the one in which the new overlay file will be saved. If
necessary, change the directory or drive as described in Section 3.1.
Once a name has been entered and the appropriate directory has been accessed, click the
SAVE button to save the overlay file.
Loading an Overlay
The Load Overlay function allows Overlay files to be retrieved and applied to the image
currently displayed.
Opening an Overlay after an image has been captured places the annotations on top of
the image. They can be stored as part of the image by saving the file as a modified file.
(See Save Image As in Section 3.1 for instructions.)
Select the name of the file to be loaded. (If necessary, change the directory or drive.) The
file name is then highlighted in the list and appears in the text box below the Filename
prompt.
Once the file has been selected, click on the OK button to load the file. (Alternatively,
double-click on the file name.) The dialog box disappears and the annotations in the
selected file appear on the image.
To dismiss the dialog box without loading annotations, click on the CANCEL button.
Overlay Libraries
AlphaEaseFC contains a library of overlays that can be accessed through the Load
Overlay function described above. This library of overlays is stored in the Image folder
