Matching precision
Matching precision parameter controls the density of the elastic distortion lattice in the alignment algorithm. Unless you are really sure of what you're doing it should be left at its default value '5'. One practical exception from this rule is aligning images for stereo photography (e.g. for anaglyph), when the recommended value is '2'.
Jpeg quality
This parameter controls Jpeg compression rate used when saving the images.
Higher quality leads to larger file size.
Scratch drive
Scratch drive is the drive used to swap data when there is not enough memory.

|
Under Mac OSX the folder for swap data is specified instead of the drive |

Location of Adobe DNG Converter
The folder where Adobe DNG Converter is installed should be specified in order to load images in RAW format

View
These settings allow you to control application appearance and interpolation mechanism used for displaying images.
'native look'
Switches application to standard Windows look.
Start program in tiled mode
If checked, PhotoAcute Studio will be in tiled mode at startup.
Show tips at startup
If checked, PhotoAcute Studio will show tips at startup.
Prompt Save on exit/close
When you are closing the unsaved image or exiting the program while there are unsaved images, PhotoAcute Studio will display confirmation window if this option is turned on.
View interpolation
Select the algorithm used for scaling (interpolating) the displayed images.
| Nearest neighbor |
Fastest and least accurate algorithm. Provides high scrolling speed, but coarse picture. |
| Bicubic |
Provides smooth picture, but slows the scrolling. |
| Background bicubic |
In this mode, the image will be scrolled fast, displayed using nearest the neighbor interpolation, then interpolated using bicubic algorithm in background and redrawn when the interpolation is complete. |
Camera
Camera selection allows you to set the camera and lens model manually. This may be useful when there is no camera information in the input files.
To switch to automatic detection of camera model, check the box Autodetect camera type from EXIF data. |
