Hardware Requirements

•	Any computer capable of running MS-Windows 3.1.

•	RAM: The amount you have will determine at what resolution you will be able to display images, and how many image windows you will be able to have open at once. We recommend a minimum of eight megabytes; more is better.

•	CD-ROM player and driver supporting Photo CD. If not multisession-capable, you will be able to access only images stored in the first session.

•	Monitor and video card: The higher resolution and more colors your system can support, the more options you will  have for viewing images. We recommend a minimum of  Super VGA at 256 colors.


Software Requirements

Windows 3.1


Installation

1.	From the File menu in Windows' Program Manager, select Run.

2.	Type a:install in the Command Line (where a: is the letter of your floppy drive; otherwise, change it).

3.	Answer the questions as prompted. All files will be stored in a directory whose default name is C:\LANTERN.


Deinstallation

If for any reason you need to deinstall Magic Lantern all you need to do is delete the directory where you installed it (the default is C:\LANTERN), and all its files. No files have been written anywhere else, nor have modifications been made to WIN.INI, so this simple operation will remove all traces of  Magic Lantern.

First check the Magic Lantern directory and any others you are deleting to ensure that you are not going to lose information you want to keep!


Some Words on Memory Availability and Configuration

Your PC has three types of memory: conventional, extended, and virtual.

Conventional memory is the first megabyte of all the RAM that you have installed. Of this first megabyte, 640 kilobytes are used as an area in which programs are started up. You will never have the entire 640K free, since some number of device drivers and TSRs will be present. It is important, however, that you fine-tune your system in order to have as close to 640K free as possible, or some programs might not even start.

Windows uses extended memory to move large amounts of data. Windows also uses virtual memory, which is a swap file that is usually installed when you install Windows.

The resolution and speed at which you can load images depend on the combined amount of extended and virtual memory. The higher the amount of memory, the better off you'll be.  If you have less than eight megabytes of memory total, you cannot expect Magic Lantern to perform at its best, nor to load high-resolution images.


Magic Lantern Step-by-Step - Getting Started
Getting Started

To start Magic Lantern from Windows, double-click on its icon in the Magic Lantern Program Group. The Magic Lantern window will initially be empty.

If this is the first time you're running Magic Lantern, do the following:

1.	From the PhotoCD menu, select Memory, or click on the Memory button in the Toolbar (if the Toolbar is not visible, select Toolbar from the Window menu). The Memory dialog box has the following options:

•	Application. The number at the right of the slider bar in the dialog box indicates the total available of RAM and virtual memory. Move the slider until the number in the Megabytes box indicates the amount of memory you wish to dedicate exclusively to Magic Lantern; the remaining memory will be used for Windows and any other programs you wish to run at the same time.

•	Poster. The number at the right of the slider bar in the dialog box indicates the maximum size of the image that you can load up, to the limit of 16 megabytes imposed by Windows. Move the slider within the bar until the number in the Megabytes box indicates the size of the Poster image that you desire. Remem-ber that the amount of time it will take to load the image is proportional to the size (in memory terms) of the image.

•	Banding.  If  Banding is checked, the images will be loaded in chunks rather than continuously. This technique is slower, but allows you to work with a slower PC (386) with not too much memory (up to eight megabytes), or with computers that, in spite of being fast and having a lot of memory, do not have an optimized configuration. If, however, you have more than eight Megabytes of memory, we recommended that you uncheck Banding so that your pictures will load faster.

2.	Click on OK to accept the values and close the dialog box.

3.	Select Drive from the PhotoCD menu. In the dialog box select the drive letter corresponding to your CD-ROM drive, and click on OK.

Magic Lantern will also read the image of a Photo CD disc from hard disk, provided the entire file structure of the Photo-CD has been copied onto it.

If this is not the first time you're running Magic Lantern, and you have not changed the configuration of your PC, you can proceed directly to the next step.

3.	From the PhotoCD menu, select Load PhotoCD. All the images on the CD will be loaded into the Thumbnails window

The number of thumbnails visible will depend on the size of the Thumbnails window. They will automatically rearrange when you resize the window. If Exact Size is checked in the Window menu, the window will always "snap to" the nearest size which will fit whole rows and columns of slides — that is, no slides will be shown cut off by the window frame. If you prefer to size the window without regard to fitting the slides in exactly, uncheck Exact Size in the Window menu.

Once a CD is loaded, the menu bar changs: more menus become available. One of the "slides" in the Thumbnails window is selected (outlined in red). You can click on any slide to select it, or use the Go to... command from the Thumbnails menu to select by number the slide you wish to view.


Loading an Image

Any loading operation can be cancelled at any moment either by
pressing the ESC key or clicking on the Cancel button.

Before loading an image, select the desired options from Load as... and Load Colors... sections of the Thumbnails menu:

To understand the Load as... options, you should know that every image on a Photo CD is stored in five versions, which differ only in their resolution, and therefore in the size at which they can be displayed on a computer monitor — the actual physical size of the image on screen will vary depending on the resolution of your monitor and video card. From smallest to largest, the options are:

•	Load as Wallet:	resolution 192 x 128 pixels

•	Load as Snapshot:	resolution 384 x 256 pixels

•	Load as Standard:	resolution 768 x 512 pixels

•	Load as Large:	resolution 1536 x 1024 pixels

•	Load as Poster:	resolution 3072 x 2048 pixels
(available only after cropping)

If you try to load a photo at a resolution which is not available for it, you will receive an error message. (Portfolio™ discs, for example, do not contain the Large and Poster resolutions of their images.)

Which color options are available will depend on the video card installed in your computer. You can always choose to load an image with fewer colors than you actually have available.

•	Load in 16 Colors

•	Load in 256 Colors

•	Load in Grayscale

•	Load in TrueColor

To select an image to load, you can:

•	Click on it in the Thumbnails window and then choose Load Current from the Thumbnails menu, or

•	Choose Load... from the Thumbnails menu. In the subsequent dialog box, the number of the currently highlighted thumbnail will appear as default. Enter the number of the photo you wish to load directly in the Photo: box, or select the number from the scroll box below. Click on OK to load the photo, or

•	Double-click directly on the slide in the Thumbnails window.

THE AMOUNT OF TIME REQUIRED TO LOAD AN IMAGE WILL DEPEND ON THE TRANSFER RATE OF YOUR CD-ROM DRIVE, THE SIZE OF THE IMAGE BEING LOADED, AND THE SPEED OF YOUR PC's CPU. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING MEMORY CONFIGURATION, REFER TO "SOME WORDS ABOUT MEMORY..."


Working with a Loaded Image

After you load an image, and whenever you make active the window containing an image, you will notice that the menu bar changes: there are three new menus.

Size and Color Options

These allow you to change the photo's size or color set. This is similar to using the Load settings, but saves you having to reload the image from the Thumbnails window.

Size in pixels of the image: If the resolution of your screen is less than the resolution of the image, not all of the image will fit on the screen. In this case the image will be centered and the borders trimmed off.

Any color options not supported by your video card will be grayed out.

Window Menu

Close Photo/Close All Photos

When the active window contains a photo, the command is Close Photo. If the Thumbnail window is active, the command is Close All Photos, which will close all photo windows currently open, but not the Thumbnails window.

When an image is on the screen, you can resize the window that contains it. You may not make the window larger than the image at its current display size.

You can iconize any image by clicking on the minimize (down-pointing) arrow in the upper right corner of the Photo window; a central portion of the image will be shown in the icon as reference.


Cropping & Poster Sizing an Image

Crop allows you to select a portion of the photo to be displayed and/or exported. You cannot rotate or mirror a cropped image — if it needs to be done, do it before cropping.

To crop an image you must first load it, in any resolution you like, so that you can access the Transformation menu. Then do the following:

1.	From the Transformation menu choose Crop. The Crop dialog box will appear.

2.	Move the cursor into the wallet-size image shown. The pointer will become a crosshair, and at upper left corner of the image you will see displayed the X,Y coordinates of the current position of the pointer on the image.

3.	You are now going to draw a rectangle around the area you want to save after cropping. Press and hold down the mouse button. This will fix the upper corner of the cropped image. Drag the mouse to the lower right corner of the portion of the image you want to crop. Release the mouse button. A "rubber band" box shows the defined area. If you don't like the size or position of the box, you can simply repeat the operation.

The Crop Area box will give the absolute X, Y coordinates of the starting point and the relative dX, dY coordinates of the selected image portion.

Poster Size


Poster Size

A whole image, in the maximum Photo CD resolution (16Base), is approximately 16 megabytes when uncompressed. Most systems cannot handle such a large file and, given the CD drive transfer rate of 150 kilobytes per second, it would take over a minute and a half just to load it.

So, to keep poster images to a manageable size, we have imposed a limit on the portion of the image that can be transformed into Poster. The default limit is 5 megabytes. You'll know when you've gone too far because the Transformable to Poster check box will uncheck itself. Just make your crop box smaller until the check reappears, and you've got an image that can (if you like) be transformed to Poster size.

Once you have defined the image portion you want to transform into Poster size, do the following, select Poster from the Transformation menu. (If the Poster selection is gray, it means you have cropped an area larger than the maximum acceptable poster size — you weren't watching that check box.) The selected portion of the image will then be loaded at poster resolution.


Creating a Slide Show

You can create a self-running or prompted slide show of any or all of the images on one disc.

1.	When the Thumbnails window is open and active, the Slide Show menu appears. Its options are to Set Up and Run a slide show, or to Play a Portfolio™ disc. (Playing Portfolio discs is discussed later in this document.)

2.	Select Set Up. The Slide Show Setup dialog box appears.

When this window is active you can still access all the commands on the menu bar to page through the thumbnails.

•	Click on the thumbnail of the image you want to insert into the slide show and press Insert. Its number will be added to the list immediately before the item currently highlighted in the scroll box. You can add an image at any point in the list.

•	You can also type the number into the Slide text box, then click on the Insert button. Again, the number will be inserted immediately before the item currently highlighted in the scroll box.

•	To insert all photos on the disc into the show, click on Insert All.

•	To delete a slide from the show, highlight it in the scrolling list and click on Delete.

•	To show the slides in random order, click on Shuffle (they will be shown according to the randomized order appearing in the scroll box).

•	To clear the scroll box, click on Clear.

The Total Slides as well as the Total Time counters are constantly upgraded to reflect your changes.

You may of course mix and match these commands as you like.

To set up how you want your show to appear:

•	Choose Snapshot, Standard, or Large from the Size area.

•	From the Slide Flip area, set the Time Out  —  the amount of time (in seconds) that each slide should be displayed. Note: If this time is shorter than the time actually required to load the image from disc (which can easily happen when loading Large images), a new slide will begin loading as soon as the old one is on screen. The total time of the slide show listed below always reflects the number of slides in the show multiplied by the Time out, which will not be accurate if each photo actually takes longer to load than the Time out time given.

•	If the Keyboard or Click box is checked, the next slide will begin loading the moment a key on the keyboard is pressed or the mouse button is clicked, regardless of whether the Time out time is up. If this option is checked and Time out is unchecked, control is completely manual - the program will always wait for a key or click before loading the next slide.

You may begin running your sideshow immediately by clicking on the Run button, or you may exit this dialog box (and even the program) and the current sideshow will be saved. You can then run it at any time by choosing Run from the Slide Show menu. This slide show will be saved, even if you exit the program, until it is cleared or replaced by another one.


Playing Portfolio Discs

With Magic Lantern, you can run any Kodak Portfolio™ disc directly from your PC's CD-ROM drive, exactly as it would run from a Photo CD player connected to a television.

If the disc in the selected drive is a Portfolio disc (the file PLAYLIST.PCD is found on the disc), the Play command becomes available under the SlideShow menu, and the corresponding button becomes available in the Toolbar. Select either to begin playing. The first image will appear against a black background, and you will see a "remote control" like this one in the lower left corner of your screen:

The right mouse button shows or hides the Remote Control.

If the Remote Control is active, pressing the ESCAPE key will also hide it; if only the image is currently visible, pressing ESCAPE will stop playing.

Other buttons on the Remote Control:

1.	Pause button (or P on the keyboard): Pause/Play toggle. Some keys are inactive in Pause mode.

2.	Stop button (or S on the keyboard): Stop Play. Returns to the beginning of the playlist.

3.	<< button (or R on the keyboard): Previous screen, where possible according to the playlist.

4.	>>  button (or F on the keyboard): Next screen.

5.	0 - 9: Select choices as offered during the Portfolio presentation. You can also use the number keys on the keypad (with NUM LOCK set on).

6.	Number of the photo currently showing.

7.	Mute checkbox (or M on the keyboard): toggle Mute.

8.	Select the display size of the images.

9.	Close button or C on the keyboard: toggle Remote Control (same as using the right mouse button).

10.	Help button (or H on the keyboard): brings up the on-line help.
