Question

Where are regions of interest exported from the Deep Zoom Viewer saved to disk?

Answer

uScope Navigator v4.0 and later enables you to export entire Deep Zoom images or regions of interest to BMP, JPG, PNG, or TIF image files. For smaller Deep Zoom images (those with low enough resolution) the output file contains an unscaled (1:1) image. However, for larger Deep Zoom images the output file is scaled due to size limitations of the output file format.

Refer to Exporting a Region from a Deep Zoom Image for more information about exporting a ROI from a Deep Zoom image.

In uScope Navigator v4.3 and earlier...

Exported images are saved in the DeepZoom-??? folder with a fixed filename. Once a file is exported, you should rename the file to prevent it being overwritten by subsequent exports.

In uScope Navigator v4.5 and later...

By default, exported images are saved in the Exports folder in the root of the Job folder.

The Program Options – Deep Zoom Viewer Options – Exported Images File Naming setting allows you to specify a template that is used when exporting images from the Deep Zoom image viewer.

A drop-down list of substitution parameters is available to help tailor the template.These parameters are replaced with information from the current scan or deep zoom image. Each parameter must begin and end with percent signs ('%').

• JobFolder
