====== Advanced Viewing and Color Adjustments ======

**1. The Viewport**

On the last page, you've seen how you can open one or many slides in the viewport, and then zoom, pan and rotate them. 

But what if you want some extra functions, or you're a minimalist and you find all the bars and sliders make the viewport look cluttered?

Then you need to configure your viewport. Configuring your viewpoint is a personal series of settings and will apply across all your workspaces and organisations.

**2. Configuring the Viewport**

 a. To manage what options are seen in your viewport, first click on the account button with your initials in the top right of the screen (1).

 b. Then click 'Manage account' (2)

 d. This will open the advanced viewport configuration window.\\
Here you can toggle whether several options are visible or not, and whether they appear in a "collapsed" or minimized state when you first open the viewport. The demo viewport on the left of the window will update with a preview of how your checked/unchecked functions will appear.

The changes you make to your viewport are personal and will persist across all organisations and workspaces.

The three options not visible by default are:
  - Filename - displays the filename in the viewport
  - Snapshot Button - includes a button that when clicked, takes a snapshot of the slide in the viewport without annotations and opens in a new window
  - Color adjustment - includes a bar for adjustment of brightness, contrast and gamma

List of available selections to configure your viewport:

  * **Overview:** Displays an overview map
  * **Dimensions control:** Display the dimensions selector for images that have more than one channel, z-stack or timeframe
  * **Barcode:** Displays the image barcode if it exists
  * **Rotation Control:** Displays rotation controls
  * **Filename:** Displays the filename
  * **Scale line:** Displays a scale line when resolution information is available
  * **Snapshot button:** Displays a scale line when resolution information is available
  * **Color adjustments:** Displays a control that allows color adjustments. With the scalebar option on your snapshots will include a visible scalebar
  * **Zoom slider:** Displayse the zoom slider control
  * **Digital zoom:** defines the behaviour of zooming in the viewer, either as continuous or staggered in levels

For each item you can select to have it accessible by selecting **'Visible'**, if you prefer to have more display space available for images viewing without the selections hiding vital information select **'Collapsed'** this will make the item appear as a small **'<<'** icon on the side of the viewer frame.
