Image Editing and Processing

When you add images to a new or existing document from your device's gallery or from pictures taken with your device's camera, you can edit the images and process the document before it's saved to the repository. You can also edit images before attaching them to forms.

Note: If image processing is not working properly, ensure the Laserfiche Mobile Image Processing Service is running.

To edit an image:

Once you have taken a picture, selected one from the gallery, or attached one to a form, a preview of the picture will be displayed with image editing options. These options can be applied one picture at a time:

Rotate: The Rotate button lets you rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise.
Color: The Color button lets you change the color of the image. You can upload the image in full color , grayscale (shades of gray), or black and white .
Crop: The Crop button lets you frame and crop the image. Pressing Crop will attempt to detect the image edges and automatically frame it for you. You can also manually edit the framed area by dragging the cropping handles. Cropping will reduce the document's size. To undo the crop, press the Revert button.

When finished with the image edits, press the check mark button in the bottom right corner. Press Back to cancel the image edits.
When finished, press the check mark in the top right corner.

Note: Image editing will not be available on devices with less than 900 megabytes of memory. Devices that do not support image editing will offer the original image processing options.

Note: Some images do not support image editing (e.g., TIFF, GIF).

To process the document:

To process a document before saving it to the repository, press the Processing button Processing button in the app bar. Learn more about capturing images.

Note: Image processing cannot be applied to forms attachments.

Note: The processing you configure on the Processing Options screen will be applied to every page of the document.

Generate Text

Variety of languages: Select languages to generate the document's text in. When you generate text, the document becomes full-text searchable.
Note: The languages listed here can be configured by an administrator on the Laserfiche Mobile Configuration Page.

Compression

Processing Options

None: The image will not be compressed.
Medium: Half compression. Significantly reduces file size, though not as much as High compression.
High: Full compression. Greatly reduces overall file size. High compression may reduce the accuracy of OCR processing.
