If you have not yet done the first lesson please do it before this one.
Step 1. Open the second example image by going to the Help menu and clicking on Get Second Example Image. RansenScan will not be able to recognise the separate images because they are all jumbled together:
That is why you can't see any sub images along the right hand side of the window.
Step 2. Drag the mouse over the picture of the cat until the selection rectangle covers it all. If you make a mistake while dragging you can hit the ESC key on the keyboard to start again.
Step 3. Hit the A key to add the selection to the list of sub images:
As an alternative to using the keyboard you can click this icon to add an image:
The icon shows shows an image being added to the column of sub images.
Step 4. Now you would like to rotate the sub image. Right click on it and select "Rotate Clockwise 90 degrees" to get it the right way up:
(When a sub image is highlighted with a red frame you can also use the rotation icons in the toolbar)
After the rotation your screen will look like this:
Step 5: Do the same thing with all the other images. Remember, drag the mouse to select, hit A to Add, right click to rotate. You will end up with a screen which looks more or less like this (the order of the sub images may change of course):
Step 6: If you double click on a sub image you will get the Sub Image Fine Tuning Dialog which you can use to change size and angle and so on. Click here to find out more about the Sub Image Fine Tuning Dialog.
Step 7: Save all the sub images by using the File menu Save All Sub Images menu item.
Lesson 3 will teach you about creating sub images which are details of other images, as well as the Substitute command.
