OLLECTIONS
ImageAXS Pro gives you two main ways to look at all of the records
in a collection — the Thumbnails View and the Text List View. These
views share many common interface elements, which are discussed
below.
IMAGEAXS PRO HELP AND BALLOON HELP
Each ImageAXS Pro collection window has three buttons in the
upper right corner. Click the button on the far right to open
ImageAXS Pro Help, an Apple Guide help file that provides step-by-
step instructions for accomplishing most of the tasks in the program.
Click the middle button to show Balloon Help, which provides a
brief explanation of virtually every menu item, button, and dialog
box option in ImageAXS Pro. After opening Balloon Help, just point
at any item in a window to see information about that item. Click the
Balloon Help button again to turn Balloon Help off.
