§ 17.2 - Overview of Other Tools
§ 17.2.1 - The Filmstrip Tool
This icon will open and close F/x's Filmstrip controls. These controls can be used to view animations created in the TimeLine, or to keep a visual log of images that you have processed. The controls are similar to the controls of a VCR (Play, Stop, Rewind, Fast Forward, etc.). If the Filmstrip is not already active, pressing this button will open the Filmstrip and bring it to the front of the display. If the Filmstrip is already open, then this button will close the Filmstrip. It is important to remember that closing the Filmstrip in this manner will force the Filmstrip to eject its contents. This means that all frames in the Filmstrip will be lost.

§ 17.2.2 - The Status Bar
F/x provides a wide variety of status information via the Status Bar.

§ 17.2.3 - The Timeline Tool
The TimeLine icon is used to open and close F/x's powerful TimeLine. The TimeLine allows you to batch process images, animate effects, and create animations ranging from simple to spectacular. If the TimeLine is not currently open, pressing this button will open the TimeLine and bring it to the front of the display. If the TimeLine is already open, pressing this button will close the TimeLine. Closing the TimeLine will not result in the loss of the TimeLine information (operation, area selections, and image files). As a matter of fact, it is possible to generate a TimeLine while the dialog is closed. Pressing the TimeLine icon again will bring the current TimeLine to the front. The TimeLine contains many controls and options which are explained in greater detail in the TimeLine section of the documentation.

§ 17.2.4 - The Zoom and DeZoom Tool
F/x proves a highly flexible zoom tool that works with its resolution-independent views and layering system.

§ 17.2.5 - The Undo / Redo Tool
F/x's undo / redo system provides multiple, user-settable levels of undo and redo.
