The Problem.
You're cruising a million and one sites on the Net, and around
every corner there's an image file you'd like to check out. You don't
want to download all these files because that's a big effort and a waste
of time if you find you can't use any of the images. Besides, they might
all be in a file format that none of your software supports! You can
only see the file's name, so how are you going to tell an interesting
file you can use from just another JUNK.JPG?
Our Solution.
We're giving you a handy viewing utility (aptly named Viewer)
that supports the most popular image file formats in use. With Viewer
you can view images at any time, from 1/8X to 8X actual size. The
innovative Global Viewer function lets you see hidden portions of large
files - without even having to scroll! And if you just want a portion of
the file, you can easily use Viewer's editing features (such as Crop
and Copy). It's a heck of a lot faster than opening a much larger
application just to look at an image file!
We are also giving you Browser, a special utility that allows you
to read thumbnails of files stored in album files. (For more on album
files see the README.HLP file). Thumbnails are low-resolution versions
of any kind of file, including image, video, audio, and document files.
The benefit of thumbnails is that they allow you to visually find your
files, while occupying almost no disk space at all. When you come across
an album full of files you'd like to view, instead of downloading every
one, you simply download the album, then peruse the thumbnails it contains
either visually or by using powerful search functions. If an image file
(or any kind of file, for that matter!) grabs your attention, you can
download that file only. And that saves time for everybody.
Our File Formats.
Our file formats are YOUR file formats. The Viewer program
supports 10 of the most popular image file formats - namely BMP, CGM,
EPS, GIF, JPEG, PCD, PCX, TGA, TIFF, and WMF. Since our Browser program
allows you to view albums that might contain any kind of file format,
Browser supports the same image files as Viewer, as well as the AVI,
MOV, WAV, FLI, FLC, RTF, and CDR file formats. Not only that, but if you
associate any other file format that is not in this list to a program on
your hard disk that supports it, Browser can read all your files in that
format, too. Talk about unlimited usability!
Our Reason.
We're a multimedia software company. Multimedia survives through
the creation of new ideas, and we recognize that the Internet is a
powerful communications tool that enables worldwide exchanges of ideas.
We simply want to add our contribution to this network of idea-sharing.
