Dialog Box Elements
The Manager
tab of the Scene Editor dialog box includes the following elements:
Toolbar.
Facilitates copying scenes, saving scenes, and so on. A description of
the tools is available later in this topic.
Scene Tree.
Displays the different scene
folders in a tree view. Predefined folders are yellow and custom
folders are blue.
Scene Selection.
Displays the scenes as thumbnail images for the open scene folders.
Toolbar
The Scene Manager tab provides several features using the toolbar. These
available tools are:
Save As. Saves the current scene, with
all of its custom properties, to a custom folder.
Cut. Cuts a custom scene from a folder.
You cannot cut a predefined scene.
Copy. Copies a custom or predefined scene.
Paste. Pastes a custom or predefined
scene into a custom folder.
New Folder. Creates a new folder in the
Scene Tree as a sub-folder of a custom scene folder. You cannot add a
sub-folder to the predefined folders.
Open Folder. Adds an existing folder
to the Scene Tree. For example, you can select a folder where your colleagues
store shared scenes.
Close Folder. Removes a folder from the
Scene Tree. You can remove only custom folders that you opened using Open Folder. Close
Folder does not delete the folder from disk; it hides the folder
from view.
Set as Default. Sets the selected scene
as the default scene.
Additional Tasks
Delete a custom
scene folder. Right-click a custom folder in the Scene
Tree and select Delete. This deletes
the folder from the Scene Tree as well as from disk.
Select a scene.
Click an image in the Scene Selection area to select the scene. The scene
is added to the RenderManager
tab and its properties are loaded in the Scene
Editor dialog box.
Drag.
Drag a predefined scene from the Scene Selection area to a custom folder
to copy the scene. Drag a custom scene from the Scene Selection area to
a custom folder to move the scene.
PhotoWorks applies the changes when you click
Apply. You do not have to close
the dialog box before you render.
