Have you ever needed to incorporate an image from eFilm into a presentation or document?
In eFilm 3.0, this is MUCH easier to do!!
To do this, simply click anywhere on the image in eFilm that you want to add to your document. Then, press Ctrl-C on your keyboard to copy the image.
In your document, press Ctrl-V to paste it.
And that’s it!!
You’ve copied your image from eFilm to your document in a couple of simple steps.
eFilm 3.0 is designed to load studies more efficiently than prior versions.
In previous versions (i.e. 2.1.2 and earlier), eFilm would load images into RAM as they were viewed (RAM is the memory on a computer that can be accessed the fastest). This meant that until all of the images in a series had been displayed once, stacking was somewhat slower. Once the images were viewed initially, stacking speeds improved greatly as all of the images were now loaded into RAM.
Are you experiencing a slow loading time when opening large studies?
eFilm 3.0 incorporates a new method of loading studies. When a study is opened, all of the images in the displayed series are preloaded into RAM in the background, so the first time you stack through a series will be very fast. This saves you the time of having to stack through the entire series first before subsequent stacking becomes faster.
However, if you are using a PC that does not have enough RAM, or if the study you are viewing is very large, it is possible that the “preloading” that is occurring may be slowing things down. If this is the case, it is very easy to change the way eFilm loads studies.
To change how eFilm 3.0 loads studies:
Now, when you open a study, only the number of images you specified will be preloaded into RAM!
Is this slow down something that has affected you? Feel free to post a comment sharing your thoughts or questions on this posting!
