Why would you want to separate/combine a photo?  Well, if you don’t know, the chances are you 

probably won’t ever need to do this type of operation.  Still, to satisfy your curiosity, if you have 

each channel as a separate file, you could manipulate each one exclusively and then recombine 

them.  We suggest you don’t do this unless you have a particular reason for doing so.  Oh, and 

not only can you separate/combine in the RGB format.  You can also do it in CMYK, HSV, and 
YIQ. 

 

 

The View menu lets you select how images are displayed on the screen.  You already know about 
the Zoom Tool, so we won’t discuss the Zoom In/Out options available here.  However, there are 

other important view modes that you need to know about: 

 

•  Actual View: This option displays your image in its true, actual size.  Oftentimes when 

you open an image it will be too large to fit entirely on the screen.  PhotoStudio will 

automatically resize it in order to display it fully.  So, if you ever want to see what you 
image 

actually looks like, choose this command.  Viewing the same image in its actual 

view can still look different on different monitors.  Reach back and remember what we 

talked about regarding pixels and screen resolution.  If you have a 500 x 500 image and 

your monitor has a resolution of 800 x 600, the image will be covering most of the 

screen.  If your monitor resolution is set to 1024 x 768, the image won’t cover so much 

of the display.  It’s all a matter of pixels. 

•  Fit In Window: You’ll notice that images are displayed in their own windows.  This 

command automatically resizes the photo so that it fits entirely into its window.  Don’t 

forget that you can resize the window to any size. 

•  Full Screen: This command blacks out your entire screen and displays your image in its 

full size.  You can zoom in/out as well.  Press Enter to skip to other open images.  When 

you want to get back to editing, press Esc. 

•  Rulers: This command displays vertical and horizontal rulers, divided into pixels.  You 

may find them useful for certain types of editing. 

•  Grids: Displays a grid with units divided by 100 pixels.  This grid won’t appear when you 

print your photo; it’s basically available as a guide if you want to break up your image 
into different segments. 

•  Image Information: The Image Information Window displays various file data, such as 

the file name, width and height (in pixels), and resolution (DPI).  You can convert the 

size to inches or centimeters; this size is not fixed—it only reflects what the 

inch/centimeter measurement would be if you printed at the current resolution.  

Remember, on the print page, you can use the slider to adjust the print size.  Lastly, you 

can see a visual histogram of the color data. 

•  Hide/Show Options: The bottom of the View menu gives you the option of showing or 

hiding each individual palette. 

 

The Window menu has commands that organize how multiple pictures are sorted on the program 
desktop: 

 

•  New Window: Opens the current photo in a new window.  It’s basically a copy of the 

existing one.  Edits that you make in the new window will be made in the original. 

•  Tile: Organizes the open photos so that they’re assembled in a tile- or brick-like fashion.
