Corel Stock Photo Library Readme Contents ========================================= Installation ============ Insert Index & Utilities CD into CD ROM drive. Select the run command from the Start or File menu of the Program Manager. In the run dialog box, enter your CD drive letter and the setup command, i.e. e:\setup. Then choose OK About the Corel Photo Browser Database ======================================= The visual database was created to help you quickly and conveniently find the images you need. Each image included in the Corel Stock Photo Library is entered into the database and assigned a thumbnail image, file name, title, volume, caption and several unique keywords. These search terms let you perform sophisticated searches using the Find command. 1. Using Find to search the image database --------------------------------------- Choosing Find opens the Search dialog box that lets you search for specific images with a common theme. Search by keyword, caption, volume, title or file name. Criteria strings are created using different combinations of search criteria from the four drop-down lists. Each drop-down list serves to narrow the search criteria. To create a simple criteria string to search for images containing a common keyword: 1. Choose Keyword from the search term drop-down list (i.e., keyword, caption, etc.). 2. Type a keyword in the text box or choose an existing keyword from the drop-down box. 3. Click Add to add the keyword to the list of search items. 4. Click OK. To create more complex criteria strings, continue to add variations on search terms to narrow the search criteria. For example: Choose AND from the first drop-down list to search for all images that match both criteria strings. Choose OR from the first drop-down list to search for all images that match either the first or second criteria strings. Experiment with the search tool to maximize the efficiency of your searches. Using a combination of sophisticated criteria strings, you can focus your searches and find specific images. For further instructions please refer to the Stock Photo Library Reference Guide. Troubleshooting =============== 1. Mouse Problems ----------------- If you are having trouble with your mouse cursor operating erratically while using the Corel Photo Browser Database, please verify that you have the latest versions of your mouse drivers installed on your system. If you continue to have problems with your mouse cursor, and you are running the Microsoft Intellipoint mouse software, please disable the Microsoft Intellipoint components while using the Corel Photo Browser Database. For further details on temporarily disabling the Microsoft Intellipoint mouse software, please consult your mouse documentation. 2. Video Display Problems ------------------------- The Large Fonts settings in some video drivers are not supported and can cause various display problems to occur. If you are experiencing display problems such as text overruning boundaries of dialog boxes, or dialog boxes having white areas around them, then please disable the Large Fonts setting in your video driver and restart the application. For further information on disabling large fonts, see the documentation provided by your video card manufacturer.
