Image

The Image menu allows starting a graphics application for postprocessing or optical character recognition of an image. The recognized text from an OCR operation is displayed in its own frame. Various tools for scaling, rotating, and flipping an image are available. These functions can also be accessed from the toolbar. The submenu Create From Selection allows saving an area of an image previously marked with the mouse.
