Working with Libraries


 

Before digital photos can be edited or processed, they must first be selected.  Only one Library of images can be selected at a time for processing.

Multiple Libraries
Many times, WinWatermark users want to process several folders of pictures in one session.  Importing multiple Libraries into WinWatermark Pro is very easy to do.  To import additional images into WinWatermark, click the IMPORT button in the lower left-hand corner of the screen OR use the FILE menu and select IMPORT.  Both perform the same action in the application.


 

The screenshot below displays multiple Libraries that have been imported.  Those Libraries are called Untitled, Samoyeds, Peonies, and Creeping Phlox.  The currently selected Library (blue border) has all 37 images in the Library selected (orange border).

To clear the selected images, click the CLEAR ALL button, from the SELECT area, at the bottom of the screen.  Notice the orange border has now disappeared.  When the active Library has no images selected, editing the images is not an option.  All pictures must be selected first before editing/processing.

To select all pictures in the active Library, click the ALL button found in the SELECT area of WinWatermark as shown below.  Notice the new active Library is now Creeping Phlox, indicated by the blue border.

To process individual pictures from the active Library, each image must be clicked (selected) for processing.  Hovering over an image (red circle) turns the border to blue, but a selected image has the familiar orange border as shown below.  Note the new default Library is now Untitled.

Deleting a Library is as easy as selecting the Library and clicking the DELETE button in the Select area at the bottom of the WinWatermark interface.  Keep in mind, only selected images in that Library will be deleted.   Because only three photos are selected from the Untitled Library, three images will remain after clcking the DELETE button.

Prior to deleting a Library, a pop-up window will be presented to ensure this is the desired action.  To delete those images from the Untitled Library, click YES.

To delete an entire Library of images, select the Library (blue border), select ALL images in that Library, and click the DELETE button at the bottom of the page.  In this example, all images in the Creeping Phlox Library are to be deleted.

WinWatermark will provide the “are you sure” pop-up window to verify the action.

Because the Library has over 100 photos, a progress bar is visible to indicate the status of the deletion.

When finished, the number of Libraries in WinWatermark is reduced by one as shown below.  The Creeping Phlox Library is no longer available for processing.
