Adjusting Picture Region Shading

When you code a portion of a picture, link it to another item or create an annotation for it, the selected portions are shaded in yellow, red or blue. This may make it difficult to view the portions of the picture underneath the shadings. You can adjust the shading density without losing the coding or link information.

To adjust the shading density of the picture region:

  1. Open the required picture source in Detail View.

  2. In the View menu, click on Region Shading.

  3. Select the option required. You can choose from None, Light, Medium or Dark.

The shaded regions of the picture will immediately display the effect of the option chosen. Note that the setting applies to ALL the regions shaded within the picture.

The setting for the region shading is not saved. If  you close the current NVivo session and open a new session, the shading resets to the default Dark option.

 

You can quickly adjust the picture region shadings by using the shading slider in the View toolbar:
