What is a thumbnail?
A thumbnail is a small picture/image that appears when you add a file
to your album. The size, name, saved location and other details about
the pictures/images are being categorized when added to the albums. A
thumbnail acts like a "shortcut" (in Windows machines) or as an "Alias"
in Macintosh machines.
back
What
is the relationship between the thumbnails and the original
(saved) files?
A thumbnail shows the location and details of the original file (called
the original file or source file or saved file.) A thumbnail is not the
original saved file.
Still picture files, movie files and sound files can all be saved in
your PC's hard disk as original files; the thumbnails of these files
contains the detail information of these saved original files in a
compact form to be used in the ImageMixer application. A thumbnail acts
like a "shortcut" (in Windows machines) or as an "Alias" in Macintosh
machines.

What
happens when I select "Create album with selected thumbnails"
option?
This
function is useful when you want to save searched results. A new album
is created containing only the thumbnails you have selected.
back
When
I selected the "Rename file" option, the name of the thumbnail
didn't change.
The 'rename file' option indicates changing the name of the original
file and not the name of the thumbnail. When you select the "rename
file" option, and change the file name, only the name of the original
file has changed and not the name of the thumbnail. Thumbnails are
created at the import mode so it bears the same name with the original
file. However, ImageMixer handles and stores the two names separately
so it is not imperative that the names have to be the same.
When you want to change or rename a thumbnail, please change the
"Title" of the information panel.

My
printer doesn't respond. Are there any fixed sizes to print images?
Usually, the model and settings of the printer the user has, determines
the process and limitations of data transfer between the ImageMixer
software and the printer. If the printer cannot print certain sizes
being set on the Imagemixer printer settings, then the printer will not
respond.

vary your sizes according to your liking. Use the editing mode to edit
images to the size and form you desire before printing.

Can
I print the same picture in 4X6 images in one full page?
Printing in one full page of 4 x6 (4 colons and 6 rows) is possible
when the pictures are different. That is, if you have 16 pictures and
you want to print it out all in one page - 4 x 6. However, if you would
like to print one image or picture to cover the whole page 4 x 6, then
the software could not respond to that request on this version. The
coming up version will probably include that function.
