Your Preferences > Images Preferences |
Image preferences allow you to select the default initial display, rotation, mirroring, coloring and general visual orientation of images for bitonal, color, PDF, and CAD files. Bitonal, Color, PDF, and CAD image types can each maintain separate settings for these entries. After making your selections in the Images Preferences window, click OK to save your selections or click Cancel to leave the settings as previously defined. Selections take effect on the next image displayed.
