Comment field -Enter comments/annotations to images here.Comment extraction buttons -Comments can be stored in several 'standardized' ways and JAlbum handles four types, 'File' being comments stored in separate files bearing the same base name as the image file but with a '.txt' extension (used for non-jpeg images).Keeping backup copies of your original images is also recommended before using these functions. If an image ends up distorted (can happen), use the undo button. Note! These operations apply directly to the original images. Lossless manipulation buttons -Rotates, mirrors and flips JPEG images losslessly.Rename button -Rename files to new name entered in the label field.Label field -Displays the base file name (without extension) and allows for simple renaming of files.Scroll bar -Use the scroll bar to the right to browse through the images you have loaded for editing.Dragging and dropping images does not add the images to the album itself, it just allows editing. You can also drag and drop folders and images onto this section for editing. 'Get images from album' button -Loads the images from the current album for editing (the root album folder).The operations in this section preserve the original file date so image ordering on file date stays intact.

This section allows you to easily add comments/annotations to images and to perform lossless JPEG rotation.

Now let's go through each and every element of the interface. If you haven't yet created an album, look at the Quick start first. There are quite many buttons and settings here, but you generally only have to do a couple of steps in order to create and view an album. JAlbum is based on a single window with a couple of fields and buttons divided into two tab pages.
