Invert

when selected, black parts of the image become white, and white parts of the image become black.

Mirror

when selected, displays a reflection of the image.

Monochrome

when selected, displays all images--other than color and grayscale images--in black-and-white tones, with no color. Not available in the SVE edition.

Hairlines

when selected, displays all vector object lines as being 1 screen pixel wide at all scale factors.

Appears dimmed in View Options if the page contains no edit layers.

Not available in the SVE edition.

Wireframes

when selected, displays only the outlines of vector objects, and not their fills. Appears dimmed in View Options if the page contains no edit layers. Not available in the SVE edition.

Sample

when selected, reduces the number of pixels displayed. This clears up dense images. It has no effect if the scale factor is 1.0 or larger, and it only applies to active, bilevel raster images.

Negate

when selected, reverses the foreground and background pixels to correct negative images. It only applies to active bilevel raster layers. When magnified, a negative image looks the same as an inverted one, but when reduced, it looks much darker.

Scale to Gray

when selected, bilevel raster images display as though they were grayscale images, with the black and white converted to varying shades of gray. This clarifies some images.

Smooth Images
