Can't get Image and Filter menus!

I have installed XnView at home (France) under XP. Works well- Very good tool!
I installed it at work (Korea) under windows 2000. I cannot get image and filter menus...

Thanks for help.

The menus 'Image' and 'Filter' are available only if an image is opened (=image view mode). Could you please check (just to make sure)?

It looks so simple when you know...
Thanks Helmut

It doesn't look very simple to me right now...

I have a scanned tiff image open and the filters are greyed out / unselectable. It does the same for BMP images.

I do not have an option to change View to =image view mode
I can select image area and resize but no filters are usable.

Windows XP system. English XnView 1.70.2

What am I missing?

I guess your images are black&white images (called 'binary' in XnView), therefore you cannot apply the effects and filters. Just convert the image to a true colour image (menu 'Image->True Colour') and then apply the filters you want. Later, you can convert the image back to black&white mode.

Thank you that was it.

Once converted to true color the filters were available.

Edge Detect was not what I expecting. I was hoping for more of an auto crop, and then a de skew.
