Profile organizer dialog box

---

The Profile organizer dialog box lets you edit, load and save profiles.  The Panorama Factory profile feature provides a convenient way to store dialog box values that you want to use later.  You can create multiple profiles by assigning each one a different name.

Using profiles to load and store settings for individual tool dialog boxes

A profile can hold settings for a single tool dialog box.  For example, if you find settings on the Alignment properties dialog box that work better for you than the default ones, you can store them in a profile and load them later when you need them.

To load settings from a profile for a single tool, select the profile name from the dropdown list titled Load settings from profile: when the tool dialog box is active.

To save settings to a profile for a single tool, select Save settings to a profile... when the tool dialog box is active.

Using profiles to load and store settings for many tools

A profile can hold settings for multiple tools.  For example, you might find a collection of settings on the Camera properties dialog box and the Alignment properties dialog box that work well for a particular camera and lens combination.  You can store these settings in a profile and then call them up whenever you are using this particular camera and lens combination.

To load settings from a profile for all tools, select the profile name in the profile organizer and press the Load all tools from the profile button.

To save settings to a profile for all tools, select the profile name in the profile organizer and press the Save all tools to the profile button.

Using profiles to initialize new projects

The values in the profile named “New project default settings” are used by the New project command (File menu) to initialize new projects.  You may edit this profile but you cannot delete it.   If you update this profile, the settings you choose will be used the next time you create a new project.

Restoring settings to their initial default values

The profile named “Factory default settings” contains the initial default settings that were in effect immediately after you first installed The Panorama Factory.  You may neither edit nor delete this profile.  You can use this profile to return the settings to their initial default states.

To return all settings to their initial default values, select the profile named “Factory default settings” in the profile organizer and press the Load all tools from the profile button.

To return settings to their initial default values for a particular tool dialog box, select the profile name from the dropdown list titled Load settings from profile: when the tool dialog box is active.
