# Indstillinger

LightZone has a handful of user preferences that affect how it operates. They are described below.

Auto Gem
  Ordinarily when you are editing a photo, if you try to edit another photo, LightZone will present you with a Save alert asking you whether you want to save your work before viewing the preview image for the other photo. Selecting this option will save your work automatically.
Browser Cache
  To operate quickly, LightZone caches thumbnail images of your photos in hidden folders on your computer. The hidden folders can either go in the same folders as your photos ("local") or all together in one location ("global").
Kontroller for opdateringer
  If checked, LightZone will automatically check to see if a new software version is available when launched. If a new version is available, you will be notified by an alert. Note that your computer must have a connection to the internet when LightZone is launched in order to check. (If there is no internet connection, the check is skipped.)
Copyright Preferences
  These preferences allow you to set default values for the name of the artist/photographer and the copyright notice when editing the metadata of your photos.
Direct Save
  When checked, using LightZone as the external editor for another application will cause LightZone to save your photo directly back to the other application when you select File > Save.
Interactive Rendering
  This controls when your photo is updated while you create or adjust a region.
  - All the time: Your photo will be updated continuously.
  - Between Region Changes: Your photo will not be updated until you release the mouse.
  - When Regions are Done: Your photo will not be updated until you are done adjusting a region (by clicking outside the region, or by pressing either the return or esc (escape) key).
Hukommeses grænse
  This sets the upper limit on the amount of memory that LightZone will use. A high limit enables LightZone to operate faster and smoother; a low limit leaves more memory available for other applications.
Nulstiller LightZones indstillinger
  Clicking the Reset button will reset LightZone to have its original factory settings. This can sometimes resolve some problems you may experience. Note that after a reset is performed, LightZone must quit.
Tom mappe
  This is the folder that LightZone will use to store data temporarily while you edit your photos. If you have a fast hard disk, using a folder on it will enable LightZone to operate faster.
Vis Værktøjs navne
  When checked, the user interface shows titles for the buttons; when unchecked, only the buttons themselves are shown.
Gem i mappe
  This controls the folder to which your photos are saved whenever File > Save is selected the first time for a photo.
Gem LightZone filer som
  This controls the format of the image file used when you save your work.

## To edit preferences:

1. Select LightZone Edit > Preferences... (the Preferences dialog will appear).

Note: Some preferences are effective only after LightZone is relaunched.
