Opening Images

Even if you don't have a scanner, you can still recognize image files (see the list of supported image formats under "Supported Image Formats").

To open an image:

• Click on the arrow to the right of the 1-Scan button and select the Open Image item in the local menu. The appearance of the 1-Scan button icon will change - the Scan caption will be replaced with the Open caption.
• Select the Open image item in the File menu.
• In Windows Explorer: right-click the image file you wish to open and select the Open with FineReader item in the local menu. If FineReader is already running, the image will be added to the current batch. Otherwise, before the image is added, FineReader will be launched and the most recently used batch opened.
• In Microsoft Outlook or Windows Explorer: click on the image file you wish to open and drag it onto the minimized FineReader window. The image will be added to the current batch and opened in the Image window.

  Select one or several images in the Open dialog. The selected images will be displayed in the Batch window, and the last selected image displayed in the Image and Zoom windows. All selected images are copied into the batch folder. See General Information on Working with Batches for more information on batch organization and the way in which pages are displayed within batches.

  Tip: If you want the opened images to be recognized right away, select the Open&Read mode:

  1. Select the Open&Read item in the Process menu or just press CTRL+SHIFT+D. The Open dialog will open.

  2. Select the images for recognition in the Open dialog.
