Image Editing Tools

Use the icons in the Editing Tools section of the Imaging ribbon bar to move, re-size, manually rotate, and remove red eye from patient images.

Get Started

Enable Edit Tool - To use these tools, enable the Edit icon from the Imaging section of the ribbon bar. Then, click in the layout to select the image you want to work with. Editing mode is not available from cardflow layouts. You can, however, maximize individual images in a cardflow layout to edit them. Your Edge Imaging background changes slightly to indicate when you are in Edit mode.

Use This Feature

Choose an Editing Tool - Select the image to work with, then enable the tool you want to use from the Editing Tools section of the Imaging ribbon bar.

Save Changes - Click Save in your Quick Access toolbar or File ribbon bar (or press Ctrl+S on your keyboard) to save any changes you have made. If you are in Edit mode, and have enabled the Exit Edit on Save setting in your Imaging User Options, you return to viewing mode after saving the image. Otherwise, you remain in Edit mode, where you can make more changes as needed.

Exit Edit Mode - Click Cancel in the Imaging section of the ribbon bar, if needed, to exit editing mode without saving any additional changes.

 Undo Use the Undo Last and Undo All tools in the Actions section of the Imaging ribbon bar to reverse un-saved changes you have made to the image. You can use the Undo Last Action icon (or press Ctrl+Z on your keyboard ) repeatedly to reverse changes one at a time, or use the Undo All Actions icon to reverse all changes at once. After you save changes or exit editing mode, you cannot undo your actions. You can, however, Restore the image to its original state if needed.

 Redo Use the Redo Last and Redo All tools in the Actions section of the Imaging ribbon bar to reapply un-saved changes you have made to the image, after using the Undo actions described above. You can use the Redo Last Action icon (or press Ctrl+Y on your keyboard ) repeatedly to reapply changes one at a time, or use the Redo All Actions icon to reapply all changes at once. After you save changes or exit editing mode, you cannot redo your actions. You can, however, Restore the image to its original state if needed.

 Changes History Use the History tool in the Actions section of the Imaging ribbon bar to review the un-saved changes you have made to an image. You can also click in the history list to return to a specific point in the editing trail.

 Restore Original Image - Use the Restore tool in the Actions section of the Imaging ribbon bar to return the selected image to the original, as it was imported into the patient record. This will undo all changes you have saved during any editing session.
