Preview Window and Tools
When you select and open a page or flat for previewing, the Preview window is opened on your desktop. This window displays the selected raster data, and provides a set of tools and options for viewing and measuring the data.
At the bottom of the Preview window is the status bar.

The Preview status bar contains the following tools:
•Zoom slider: You can drag the zoom slider left or right to change the zoom level. This zooms the image around the center of the Preview window.
•Screen angle measurement results: Displays the results of any screen angle measurements you perform.
•Width and height measurement results: Displays the width and height of the box defined by the diagonal you draw with the Measurements tool.
•Screen frequency results: Displays the results of any screen frequency measurements you perform (only displayed when you zoom in to view the raster data).
•Light table tool: Displays blended front and back views of your raster data. This allows you to check the registration of the front and backs, or check if there are problems with the ink coverage.
•Full screen display button: On the right is a button which switches the Preview window to full screen (the shortcut key is ‘f”). You can return to normal view by pressing the Esc key.
You can also display a series of small palettes for the currently active Preview window:
NOTE: These palettes are hidden when the active window is not a raster Preview window.
•Navigator Palette: Provides a snapshot of the entire page or flat, as a low resolution continuous tone image. Using this palette, you can focus on the detail of one area of the selected page or flat. This view can be panned and zoomed over the entire area of the page.
•Inks Palette: Allows you to view the different separations, and measures the ink coverage within the selected area of the Preview window.
•The Tools Palette: Provides quick access to common tasks and procedures.
The Preview window and the Navigator and Inks palettes can be resized using the resize handle in the lower right corner. The location and size of all windows is remembered between sessions.
You can open several Preview windows, but only one Inks palette. These display information about the active Preview window. You can close or minimize each of the smaller palettes individually, or you can hide them all at once.
