When the end user clicks the Edit button in order to draw or annotate on an image, many of the default image editing settings can be adjusted in the INI file in order to ensure the initial environment for the end user is what they need most often.  


First, add a section to your INI file and name it anything that isn’t already in use as a section name and that represents something meaningful, like [Edit Settings].  In the [Common] or specific mode section add the INI option ImageEditorSettings and set it equal to this same name.  Note that these settings can be used to set the initial brush characteristics and font annotations settings to values that are not available through the normal right click context menu user interface in the editing application.


Add these INI options to your custom named Edit Settings section:
