Viewing documents on your catalogue raisonné website

The document viewer allows you to access and examine image or text files within your catalogue. Discover the features of the document viewer on the public website and learn how to zoom into image details or leverage the full-text search.

Your catalogue raisonné website likely contains a variety of materials, including scans of documents and publications and image data. For users of your website, accessing documents and images is crucial. Scans of publications can assist researchers in substantiating arguments, and high-resolution images are essential for accessing the details — especially when the original images or artworks are not easily accessible. The catalogue raisonné website template provided by Navigating.art features a document viewer to simplify and streamline working with documents and image data.

Access full-screen mode

On the catalogue raisonné website, your readers can view documents and images in preview or full-screen mode.  Using the full-screen mode enables readers to examine the document at its maximum size, enhancing their ability to comprehend the works. Full-screen mode also allows readers to access additional features. 

Zoom in and out

The zoom feature helps readers to read texts more easily, discerning faded details on original sources, and view image data. With just a few clicks on the corresponding icon or with a pinch-to-zoom gesture on your mouse pad or any mobile device, readers can adjust the zoom level.

Adjust image and document files

You can adjust brightness and contrast using sliders, a feature particularly beneficial for enhancing image details and improving visibility when dealing with faint or complicated originals. Increasing contrast can aid in text clarity if documents have faded over time. Document rotation helps when documents contain labels or stamps that were applied in various directions. Readers can reset the image to the original state with one click.

Use full-text search

When researchers seek specific information within a scanned publication, the full-text search feature proves invaluable. By entering one or more keywords, users can search the entire text for relevant terms. The search results are highlighted within the text itself, allowing users to locate the information they need. Additionally, the sidebar displays the total number of search results and indicates on which pages they are found. Users can click on a page to navigate directly to it.
