Picture viewer and watermark usage

You can view and print your finished renderings and other images in the picture viewer.

Opening the Picture viewer (Ctrl+K) from the menu or icon view:

From version 3.8, the picture viewer can also be opened from the rendering window by clicking the red-circled icon, allowing you to view and print your render immediately.

Here you can review and print the images created so far.

At the top left, there is a drive and subdirectory selection list, starting with the current database's kepek subdirectory. From the lower list, you can select the images. The lower field allows you to search among the images, and the icons enable deletion and renaming. Naturally, any other images and photos in JPG format can also be displayed.

  With the icon above the image, you can choose to view the image at 1:1 (100%) or stretched to fit the surface. In 1:1 view, if the image is larger than the surface, you can move it with the mouse.

  This icon allows you to view the image in full screen. Pressing any key will return to the original view.

  This icon displays the modification dates of the images next to their filenames.

Adding watermarks to renderings

You can see the icons for adding watermarks to your renderings in the folder and file selection area. The watermark will automatically be the company name. Clicking on a style multiple times will make the watermark more pronounced. The OK button creates a new file with the watermarked image. The "vj" letters are added to the filename to distinguish it from the original. The fourth style is a custom watermark that can be personalized in an picture editor.

Using a custom watermark

You can set a custom watermark for the fourth watermark style. Open the vizjel4x.jpg file located in the ...Piper3D/program folder in an image editor and edit it as you want the watermark to appear in the program.

It's important not to change the image size because the program multiplies the set size.

The files for the other three styles are also in this folder but are recreated by the program each time it starts, so they can't be edited.

Uploading and running panoramic pictures

  This icon allows you to upload panoramic picture to the Piper server, enabling anyone to view the 360-degree panoramic picture via a link after uploading. More information about panoramic rendering can be found by clicking here.

Printing

  The icon prints the selected image. First, the usual printer selection window appears.

• In normal display mode, the saved images will always be the same size as the currently displayed image, primarily depending on the monitor's resolution and aspect ratio.
  
  
  • Photorealistic images will also follow this aspect ratio unless changed directly.
    
    
• Printing is done on an A4 sheet in a frame that includes a footer with the seller's and buyer's information.
  
  
  • Here, the aspect ratio of the image is naturally constant. To print on the full surface of the sheet, parts of the image may be cropped at the top and bottom or sides due to different aspect ratios. This needs to be tested, and images should be composed with this in mind.
    
    
• When saving an image, the user and buyer data are saved in a .dat file with the same name. Thus, regardless of the currently set buyer data, the saved data will appear in the footer when printing the image, showing the data of the buyer at the time of saving. These data are displayed above the image and can be edited if necessary.
  
  

TIP: Rendered images are just like any other photos on your computer, so they can be accessed, modified, and deleted using the file explorer. They can also be easily attached to an email by finding the appropriate folder. (By default, the finished renderings are located in the C:\Piper 3D\data\kepek folder, unless changed during installation or database setup.)
