Viewing a Photo Zone inside Qnext

A Photo zone is a shared photo album. There is no limit to how many photos are shared, and you can browse thumbnails, zoom into individual photos, run slideshows, and download (with permission).

How to Use the Zone and View Photos

This section will outline all of the features of a Photo zone, from top to bottom.

The Top Bar

At the very top of the zone there is a navigation bar:

Select – Clicking "All" will select all photos. Clicking "None” will deselect any selected photos. "Selected” photos can be downloaded together or viewed in a custom slideshow.
Preview – Clicking this button will switch from the current page to the Preview Page.
Thumbnails – Clicking this button will switch from the current page to the Thumbnails Page.
DownloadClicking "Original" will download any selected photos in original quality. Clicking "Small" will download any selected photos in JPEG format. Clicking "Current View” will download the current photo in the size and orientation that it is being previewed at. Note: if no photos are selected, clicking Download will download all photos in the zone.
Slideshow – Clicking "All" will run a slideshow of every photo in the zone. Clicking "Selected” will run a slideshow of only selected photos in the zone.
Exit Search – This button will only appear if you have performed a search and are viewing the results. Clicking this button will return you to viewing all of the photos in the zone.

Thumbnails Page

This is the first screen of any Photo zone. Every shared photo is displayed as a thumbnail and can be viewed at a glance by using the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen. Double-click thumbnails to view them at a larger size, or "select” multiple images so they can be downloaded or run in a slideshow as a group; hold down the CTRL key and click thumbnails to select them.

Preview Page

This page lets you rotate and zoom into individual photos. You can still browse through and "select” thumbnails in the scrolling row above the previewed photo.

Slideshow Page

This page will run a slideshow of every photo, or just the ones you have "selected”. You can set the transition delay, skip to the next/previous photo, and pause the slideshow at any time.

Downloading Photos

When you "select” photos for download, you have the option of saving the Original photos, JPEGs (Small), or the Current View. JPEGs are smaller in file size and may not be of equal quality if the owner has shared high resolution images. Saving the Current View will download the current photo in whatever size you might have zoomed into and with any rotation as well. Just "select” the photos you want to download, press the Download button and decide what quality you want to save the photos at. You will be prompted with a Save box that will ask you where you want to save the photos to. That’s it!

Searching

To search for photos, just enter a whole or partial search term into the Find box at the top of the zone window and hit Enter. Your results will display below. The screen will be blank if there are no results. Hit the Exit Search button to return to viewing all photos in the zone.
