| [[S_LoadImage]] | ||||
| == The _Subsurface_ Photograph loader | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Many (if not most) divers take a camera with them and take photographs | ||||
| during a dive. One would like to associate each photograph with a specific | ||||
| dive. _Subsurface_ allows one to load photos into a dive. Photos are superimposed | ||||
| on the dive profile, from where they can be viewed. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| === Loading photos and getting syncronisation between dive computer and camera | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| Click on a dive or on a group of dives on the dive list. Then right-click on this | ||||
| dive or group of dives and choose the option _Load Images_: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| image::images/LoadImage1.jpg["FIGURE: Load images option",align="center"] | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| The system file browser appears. Select the folder and photographs that need | ||||
| to be loaded into _Subsurface_ and click the _Open_ button. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| image::images/LoadImage2.jpg["FIGURE: Load images option",align="center"] | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| This brings one to the time synchronisation dialog, shown below. The | ||||
| critical problem is that the time | ||||
| synchronisation is not perfect between the dive computer used during a dive, | ||||
| and the camera used during that same dive. These two devices | ||||
| often differ by several minutes. If _Subsurface_ can achieve synchronisation, | ||||
| then the exact times of photographs can be used to position photographs on | ||||
| the dive profile. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| _Subsurface_ achieves this synchronisation in two ways: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - *Manually*: If the user wrote down the exact camera time at the start of a dive, the | ||||
| difference in time between the two devices can be achieved. Actually, as long as the device | ||||
| settings for time has not been changed in either device, one could write down the times of | ||||
| both devices after the dive or even at the end of the day. One can then manually set the time | ||||
| difference in the _Time shift_ dialog. Towards the top of the dialog is a time setting tool | ||||
| immediately under the heading _Shift times of image(s) by_, evident in figure *A* below. | ||||
| If the camera time is 7 munutes later than that of the dive computer, set the time setting | ||||
| tool to a value of 00:07. Ignore any "AM" or "PM" suffix in that tool. Click the _OK_ button | ||||
| and synchronisation will be achieved. Select either the _earlier_ or _later_ radio button. | ||||
| In the above example, the _earlier_ option is appropriate, since the photos need to be shifted | ||||
| 7 minutes earlier (camera is 7 minutes ahead of dive computer). | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| image::images/LoadImage3b.jpg["FIGURE: Synchronisation dialog",align="center"] | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - *By photograph*: There is a very slick way of achieving synchronisation. If one takes a | ||||
| photograph of the face of the dive computer showing the time, then _Subsurface_ can obtain | ||||
| the exact time the photograph was taken, using the metadata that the camera stores within | ||||
| each photo. In order to do this, use the bottom half of the Time shift_ dialog. If one uses | ||||
| the bottom part, the top part of the dialog is ignored. Click on | ||||
| the horizontal bar entitled "_Select image of divecomputer showing time_. This brings up | ||||
| a file browser with which one can select the photograph of the dive computer. Select the | ||||
| photograph using the file browser and click on _OK_. This photograph of the dive computer | ||||
| appears in the bottom panel of the _Shift times_ dialog. Now _Subsurface_ knows exactly | ||||
| when the photograph has been taken. Now set the date-time dialog to the left of the photo | ||||
| so that this tool reflects the date and time of the dive computer in the photo. When the | ||||
| date-time tool has been set, _Subsurface_ knows axactly what the time difference between | ||||
| camera and dive computer is, and synchronisation is achieved. The image nelow shows a | ||||
| photograph with the face of the dive computer and with the date-time tool set to the | ||||
| date-time on image *B above. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| === Viewing the images | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| After the images have been loaded, they appear in the _Photos_ tab of the *Dive Notes* panel. | ||||
| They also appear as tiny icons on the dive profile at the appropriate | ||||
| positions reflecting the time each photograph was taken. See below: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| image::images/LoadImage4.jpg["FIGURE: Photos on dive profile",align="center"] | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| If one hovers with the mouse over any of the photo icons, then a thumbnail photo | ||||
| is shown of the appropriate photo. See the image below: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| image::images/LoadImage5.jpg["FIGURE:Thumbnail photo on dive profile",align="center"] | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| If one clicks on the thumbnail, then a full size | ||||
| photo is shown overlaid onto the _Subsurface_ window. This allows good viewing of | ||||
| the photographs that have been imported. See below: | ||||
