MTG Studio main window comprises of several areas:
- Main Menu
From main menu (as in every Windows program) the main application commands can be executed. Some of the menus may be disabled if you are not in the right editing mode, or a card has not been selected.
There are NO disabled menus in the Trial versions. During your trial ALL program features are enabled. If you see a menu being disabled it means that you either have not already opened a deck, or you do not have a card selected from the Card Pool or Deck Area.
- Toolbars
Toolbars (as in every Windows program) contain small buttons with the most commonly used commands.
- Card Art
The Card Art area previews the scanned card image. There are multiple card art image sources which can be configured from ''Tools | Options'' menu.
