Saving a Glaze Picture
Go to contents


If you have created a digital image of the glaze you are saving to disc, the file name of this image may be linked to the recipe file so that when the recipe is displayed, or when its name appears in a recipe database list, it's image can be displayed.

Glaze Picture files may only be attached to an individual recipe file or a recipe in a database after the recipe has been saved to disc. When Matrix attaches a glaze picture to a recipe file it saves a copy of the original image of glaze placing it in the same folder as the individual recipe file or the recipe database file. The original image of the glaze, which could be anywhere on your system or on a CD, remains where it is and is no longer needed by Matrix.

Attaching the Glaze Picture to the Recipe File

When you have saved the recipe click the button located on the tool bar under the active recipe panel.


Fig.1 Attaching a glaze picture to a recipe file.

The glaze pictures window appears (Fig.1). You must now tell Matrix where in the window you want to place the image.

Click Activate button where you want to place the image.

Next click the Load Image button. This opens a Windows file dialog (Fig.2) for you to locate and open the glaze image file which you have previously create.

The glaze picture you will attach and save with the recipe must have been previously created and processed before proceeding with the process described here.

This would normally be done in an image processing application such as Photoshop.

Fig.3 Including a not with the glaze image.

The glaze image should now appear in the Glaze Picture window and a thumbnail should appear in the thumbnail panel of the Matrix window.

After saving the image and note you can Exit the Glaze Picture windowbutton in the information dialog.

This process may also be completed in the Recipe Information window.

Whenever this recipe is loaded into Matrix in future the glaze image will appear in the thumbnail panel and can be viewed in other places where a glaze picture panel occurs.

The image and note can be changed by reopening the Glaze Picture window.
