An NVivo picture source consists of a picture and a log:
|
Region |
|
Picture |
Log |
|
|
|
|
You can create new picture sources by:
Importing a picture file
Copying all/part of another picture in your project
Copying a frame from a video in your project
When you create a new picture source, the log is empty. You can use the log to record notes about the picture. The notes can relate to the entire picture or a selected region of the picture. For more information, refer to Working with Log Entries.
No, you can leave the log empty and hide it if required by clicking Log on the View menu.
You can code the entire picture source, a selected region of the picture or a log entry. Click and drag the mouse to select a picture region, a portion of the text or selected rows in log entries. If you code a log entry, then the related region of the picture will be 'shadow' coded and vice versa.
For more information, refer to Coding an Entire Source or Coding Picture Sources.
