The PowerAlbum employs the metaphor of a picture album. Each page
holds up to 12 miniature representations, "thumbnail images," of
graphic files stored in directories on your CD ROM. The images
are grouped in categories; you can see two pages of a category at a
time. This document provides the basic procedures to follow when
using PowerAlbum to choose ClickArt for a document.
ImagePak Album Directory Information on your Incredible Image Pak CD,
there are several directories and files:
*ImagePak.alb: contains files for your image catalog (or "album").
The album files allow to view and use your ClickArt images.
Before you use your album, you MUST run SETUP.EXE located in the
Setup directory. (See Installing your ImagePak Album.)
*ImagePak: your .CGM ClickArt images are located in this directory.
Within this directory are subdirectories where the images are stored.
The subdirectories are divided into different categories.
*CA Export: contains the ClickArt Image Exporter and libraries. These
files are needed to export to different file formats other than CGM.
See About ClickArt Image Exporter documentation included with this
package.
*Fonts: contains your TrueType fonts.
*Setup: contains the PowerAlbum setup program to load onto your
hard drive.
*CA Demo: contains a ClickArt demo providing you with a self
running demonstration of all the different ClickArt products and
how ClickArt can enhance you documentations.
Installing Your ImagePak Album
Follow these steps to install PowerAlbum:
1.Start Windows.
2.Start File Manager.
3.Place the CD ROM disk into your
CD ROM drive and select the CD ROM drive.
4.Change to the Setup subdirectory.
5.Double-click the SETUP.EXE. A PowerAlbum Setup window will appear.
6.Choose Complete Setup from the Installation window. PowerAlbum
program files and filters will be installed into your Windows
directory. PowerAlbum is installed, the Personlize PowerAlbum
window comes up where you can type your name and company name.
You will only need to type this information once. When the installation
is complete a dialog box will come up with a message that the setup is
complete. Click OK and you are now ready to use the PowerAlbum program.
To install the PowerAlbum on your hard drive
1.Choose Custom Setup from the Install window. The PowerAlbum Custom
Setup window appears.
2.Click the Copy Album check box. Graphic filters need to remain checked.
3.When ready, choose Install. The installer places the PowerAlbum
on your hard drive. Installing the PowerAlbum will take a few minutes
to copy the album to your hard drive. After the PowerAlbum is installed
you can use the PowerAlbum from either your hard drive or the CD disk.
Using Your PowerAlbum with Your Incredible Image Pak Images
1.Open PowerAlbum or Double-click the PowerAlbum icon. This will
launch the PowerAlbum program. To open the ImagePak Album,
choose Open from the File menu.
Find the picture you want to use.
There are two ways you can search for a picture.
1.Flip through the pages of the album, much in the manner you
would through a real photo album. You can browse page-by-page, or
jump to a different category by clicking its tab.
2.Use the Find command to search for pictures with a particular
description, filename, or file type. The pictures in your album
have descriptions. When using the Find command, you tell PowerAlbum
to search for pictures whose descriptions or filenames include a key
word, part of a word, or sequence of characters. For example, you can
search for all the pictures whose descriptions include the word "autumn."
This search may turn up pictures with descriptions such as Tree, Oak,
Fall, Outdoors, Leaves, Holiday, Season. You may also find pictures
with filenames such as Acorn.CGM, Autumn.CGM Leaves.CGM, Maplelf.CGM,
Turkey02.CGM, October1.CGM.
To use the Find command, choose Find from the Edit menu, then
enter the word you want to key the search. You can choose to
execute the command one of two ways.
*Click Find Next and PowerAlbum moves to the page where it finds
the first picture that matches your search. It selects the picture
and moves the Find dialog box so you can see the picture. If this
is the picture you want, close the dialog box by choosing Cancel.
If not, continue the search by choosing Find Next.
*Click Find All and PowerAlbum copies each picture it finds that
matches your search into a new category called "Found." The found
pictures also remain in their original place in the album. You can
use this method to create new categories by renaming the "Found"
category. Switch to the application where you want to use the picture
and paste it into the proper location. If you plan on using more
pictures, you can leave PowerAlbum open and simply minimize its window.
Or, you can close PowerAlbum altogether. You can place the picture you
selected into any document in an application that lets you paste
pictures from the Clipboard.
When you are all done, close PowerAlbum. To close PowerAlbum,
choose Exit from the File menu. If you made any changes to the open
album and have not saved them, PowerAlbum will prompt you to save or
discard the changes. Note: If your ImagePak Album is located on your
CD disk, you will not be able to save any changes that you have made
to the album. You can save the ImagePak Album to a subdirectory on your
hard drive and save any changes to your album to that subdirectory. If
you use the Save As to save your PowerAlbum to your hard drive, the
PowerAlbum will lose the link to any of the images on the CD. When
either previewing an image or copying an image, a dialog box will
come up asking if you want to search for the image. Choose Search
and the PowerAlbum will search for the image. To avoid this, refer
to To install the PowerAlbum on your hard drive in the documentation
before you use your PowerAlbum.

Filename changes for the CD ROM version Due to naming conflicts
on the CD ROM, a few of the image file names shown in the Business
Directory in the visual index are slightly different than the file
names on your ClickArt Incredible Image Pak CD ROM.
