The simplest way to make a data record for a file on your 
computer is to acquire it individually into an ImageAXS 
collection.

1.

In the Source File menu, highlight Acquire, then select 
File from the submenu that appears.
A standard file dialog box appears.

2.

Locate and highlight the file you want to acquire.
If the Show Preview checkbox is selected, a 
thumbnail version of any image file you highlight 
will appear in the dialog box.

3.

Click Open.  
A data record for the file is added at the end of the 
collection (as a thumbnail image in the Thumbnails 
View, and a row of data in the Text List View).

You can also acquire individual files in the Finder by 
selecting the Finder icon for each file (including icons 
shown as found items in a Find File or Sherlock window), 
then doing any of the following:

•

Drag the Finder icon(s) into an open ImageAXS 
collection window.

•

Drag the Finder icon(s) onto the ImageAXS application 
icon.  (Doing this launches ImageAXS and makes a data 
record for each file in the most recently opened 
collection.) 

•

If you are using a Power Macintosh, press and hold the 

CTRL

 key as you click any selected Finder icon, then 

select Acquire in ImageAXS from the contextual menu 
that appears.
