This year, you can connect to the KAAS Web site by just clicking the KAAS logo button in your CD folder. Before you click, make sure you have a Web browser, such as Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer, a modem and an account with an Internet service provider.
File Formats
The KAAS images on this CD have been saved as Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files. In order to make some of the files easier to handle and manipulate, they have been made smaller with JPEG compression. You will be able to output JPEG files directly to a PostScript Level Two device to print color separations. In addition, you can open a JPEG file into Adobe Photoshop and save it as a TIFF image.
Creator2 Demo
Included on this CD is a demo of Creator2 version 1.6.2. Creator2 is a page-layout program, and this is a great opportunity for you to try it. Please note that this demo will run best when using System 9.
