USING THE KUDO IMAGE BROWSER

The Kudo Image Browser is a powerful tool for viewing, sorting, placing, 
and opening images. It is designed to be easy and intuitive to use. The 
button bar at the top of the Kudo Browser window contains five buttons. 
The first button on the left displays the images in small thumbnail view, the 
second button displays the images in large thumbnail view, and the third 
button displays the images in list format, which includes the assigned 
keywords for each image in addition to the large thumbnail.

The fourth button allows you to locate images by keyword. Keywords 
include image orientation information (horizontal or vertical), color 
information (red, blue, yellow, etc.), and other content-specific information 
about what is in the images. The fifth button displays technical information 
about the selected image, including file size in bytes, creation and 
modification dates, keyword information, file location, application creator 
and file type identification, and the image's canvas size. The image canvas 
size information can be viewed in pixels, inches or centimeters.

The images can be viewed in rapid succession in large thumbnail view by 
clicking on the riffle arrows located in the lower right corner of the browser 
window. By clicking and holding down the mouse on one of the arrows, 
the images are rapidly displayed one after another within a single window. 
The riffling speed can be increased by clicking and holding down the mouse 
and moving toward the end of the arrow.

The images can be previewed at larger sizes from within the browser 
application. On the Macintosh platform, double-click on the image. On the 
Windows platform, select the image and choose IMAGE PREVIEW from the 
pull-down menu or type Control-E. Depending on the size of the image and 
the speed of the computer being used, the preview may take several seconds 
to load.

The images can be opened by their parent applications directly from within 
the browser program if the appropriate parent application is resident on the 
computer. Double-click on the icon in the lower right corner of the image 
window when in large gallery mode, and the application will launch 
automatically.

The images can be placed directly into a layout application by clicking on 
the image, holding down the mouse button, and dragging the image from 
the Kudo Catalog Reader window to the picture box or page of the layout 
program. The image may also be exported to many layout and image 
editing applications by choosing PLACE from the IMAGE pull-down 
menu and selecting the desired program. The export function works only if 
the destination application is running simultaneously with the browser 
application.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE KUDO BROWSER USES THE MEDIUM CANVAS LOW-
RESOLUTION IMAGES. 
Your project may require use of the higher-resolution files.

Export filters are routinely updated for use with revised versions of the 
supported layout applications and can be found at the WWW site 
http://www.imspace.com/, which is maintained by Kudo creator Imspace 
Systems Corporation. Layout and editing applications currently supported 
by the PLACE command include Adobe PageMaker, QuarkXPress, Fractal 
Design Painter, Macromedia FreeHand, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere 
and Adobe Photoshop.
