 Changes to the image can be previewed by selecting *Fill/Crop* and the *Options* values. I select *Crop* from *Fill/Crop* and an option to select an origin option (how far down the picture the crop starts) is visible. Further more I want automatic *Chroma correction*, *Wavelet denoise* of *1*%, *gtx* (color enhancement) of *30*%, and *Sharpen* value of *100*. To see these changes, press on the *Update Image* button, and wait for the image to reload, which may take more time than the original loading because more processing will take place.

 Before we begin, it is important to consider what constitues an ergonomic file/folder structure. I suggest setting up a main folder as a project directory which the final files will be written to, and having the image data in separate subfolders of this project directory. VOLPE can take image and other data from any folder on your computer, but let’s keep the image data together as far as possible so that processed images can readily be found and deleted when necessary.

-Once the image is loaded, a number of options can now be selected from the “Images” tab:
- “Borders” can be set to any value; all borders are locked to the same value to begin with; to change this behavior, first change the value in “Lock”, and then change the indiviudal values; I want a uniform border so I simply enter *40* into one of the boxes and exit it, and the changes are immediate;

If the image is not the same aspect ratio as the project, then black bars will appear on the sides or the upper and lower borders of the image. This black area can be filled out by selecting a "Fill/Crop" option and reloading.
