Display formats for dates — sets a default date format for the application.
Metadata viewer updates on mouse over — resets the viewer each time you position your pointer over another image.
Use round shape for Magnifier (uncheck for rectangle) — use a round (enabled) or rectangular (disabled) magnifier.
Switch to a rectangle for a slightly larger magnifier, and to prevent display issues on Linux systems when desktop
compositing is disabled.
Highlight Alternating Rows — in list views, like the Catalog section and Metadata Browser section of the Browse panel,
highlight alternating rows. Disable for uniform row colors. Requires restart to take effect.
Use smaller fonts and icons — Enable this on notebooks and netbooks to make workspace elements smaller. Requires
restart to take effect.
Maintain zoom when switching images — lets you pan and zoom into a single image, and then keep that zoom and pan
position when switching images. This only affects Single Image view.
Use animation for image zoom — enables animation when zooming in or out on images. Disable this on slower
computers for quicker viewing.
Show only high quality previews — enabling this preference will prevent Corel AfterShot Pro from showing lower quality
previews when making image adjustments — which can make the previewing process take slightly longer.
Color Management preferences
This Preferences page allows you to view and edit color management preferences.
Monitor Profile — select your monitor's profile. Click Reset if you re-calibrate your monitor and Corel AfterShot Pro does
not auto-detect the change. (Corel AfterShot Pro should auto-detect the correct profile on Windows and Mac
computers).
Default JPEG Profile — when importing JPEG images that do not contain a color profile, use this profile as the input
profile.
Default TIFF Profile — when importing TIFF images that do not contain a color profile, use this profile as the input
profile.
Import and Cache preferences
This Preferences page allows you to view and edit Importing and Cache preferences.
When working in File System mode and other operations, Corel AfterShot Pro creates cached thumbnails and previews
and stores cached copies of image settings for folders that you have browsed to. These files allow faster browsing and
operations within File System mode, but can grow to be quite large over time. Corel AfterShot Pro allows you to control
how much data to cache, and when to reduce the cache.
Reducing cache size only happens when Corel AfterShot Pro first launches, so the cache can grow beyond the specified
size during normal usage.
Create Previews during Importing and File System Browsing — create thumbnail and preview images for all images
imported or that are being browsed in File System mode. Previews allow a quicker display of your images and allow
viewing images in Catalogs that are off-line. Some image files do not contain embedded thumbnails or previews (which
are used in place of Corel AfterShot Pro-generated thumbnails and previews) and with this option disabled, no
thumbnail image can be displayed until a Preview is created for that image.
Check Cache Size every — controls how often Corel AfterShot Pro should examine the cache size to determine if it
should be reduced.
Remove cached items not viewed in the last — controls how long to preserve image data in the cache. Set this to zero to
disable removing items based on age. Items will only be removed when the cache size grows larger than the Target
Cache Size.
Target Cache Size — remove items (oldest first) until the cache fits within this specified size.
Renaming preferences
