To create a new preset:
1. On the Controls menu, select Defaults> Imaging.
2. On the left side of the Imaging Configuration window, select Presets.
3. If you want to create a new system preset, click the System tab. If you want to create a new user
preset, click the tab with your user name.
4. Click New. The Presets Configuration Detail dialog box appears.
5. Type a name for this preset in the Name text box.
6. In the Modality drop-down list, select the type of device used to capture the images to which this
preset will be applied.
7. To change window and level values by specifying exact values, select Absolute in the Type text
box. Enter the window (contrast) value in the Window text box and the level (brightness) value in
the Level text box.
8. To raise window and level values relative to their current settings, select Relative in the Type text
box.
• To increase or decrease values in the Window % (contrast) text box, enter percentage
values that are greater or less than 100. For instance, typing 110 in the Window % text
box increases the window value by 10%, while typing 90 lowers it by 10%.
• To increase or decrease values in the Level Shift (brightness) text box, type the number that
you want to be added to or subtracted from the current level value. For instance, typing 500
will add 500 to the current level value, while typing -500 will subtract 500.
9. Click Save. The new preset appears in the list of presets displayed in the Presets information of
the Imaging Configuration window.
10. If you do not want this preset to be displayed in the Image Viewer, check the Hide check box for
this preset. You can only hide user presets; system presets are always visible.
To copy an existing preset:
1. On the Controls menu, select Defaults> Imaging.
2. On the left side of the Imaging Configuration window, select Presets.
3. If you are the Administrator and you want to edit a system preset, copy the System tab. If you
want to copy a user preset, click the tab with your user name.
Tip: Only the Administrator can
copy a system preset directly. If
you want to create a new preset
based on an existing system
preset, and you are not the
Administrator, do the following:
1. In the Image Viewer, apply the
system preset to an image.
See the instructions in “5.11.2
Applying a Window/Level
Preset.
2. Follow the instructions in
“5.11.3 Creating a New Preset
from the Image Viewer.” The
new preset that you create
will be based on the window/
level settings currently applied
to the image, which are the
settings from the system
preset.
