How to add frame?

Select menu item Image / Add or click the toolbar button of Standard Toolbar. You can select BMP, JPEG, GIF, ICO, WMF, EMF, PCX, PNG, TGA or PSD- files for insertion from Advanced Open Picture Dialog (see parameters on tab Tools in File / Preferences dialog).

Notes:

• each new image is added to the end of the List of images. You can move image later to any place of the list;
• you can resize added JPEG- files and Metafiles, if flag Invoke size dialog is checked in dialog File / Preferences (tab Add);
• new images have attributes defined in dialog File / Preferences on tab New.
  GIF- file is a special case as it already contains frames with attributes. So you can leave original image attributes if you mark checkbox Keep original frame attributes of added GIF- files in dialog File / Preferences on tab Add;
• GIF can contain no more than 256 colors. So it is important to define color reduction and dithering mode for added images in dialog File / Preferences on tab Add. Default values are Quantize with 8 bits and Nearest (nearest color matching without error correction).
