When you open raw images, such as while collecting fiducial marks, manual ground control points (GCP), or tie points (TP), the Collection Viewer displays . You can configure the viewer to display up to three panes, the layout of the panes, and what displays in each.
- The color to use for the bounding box
- How to orient raw images
- Whether to display scroll bars in the main viewer
- Whether you want views to resize proportionally
- Whether to automatically re-arrange the viewers when you open a new image
- The maximum number of viewers per column
- The maximum number of viewers to display

If you want to use a custom color, click More. For example, you can specify a color by its RGB (red, green, blue) value. If you do not want to use a color for the bounding box, click None.

Under Raw image orientation, select how you want to orient the images:
- Raster up: image displays according to the orientation of the pixels.
- North up: image displays according to the orientation of north.
It is advantageous to use the existing math model to display the image by North up. This make sit easier to compare features with other geocoded images or vectors, because each will have the same orientation.
