RedShift 2 uses QuickTime. If you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer you can install it now by dragging the QuickTime extension from this CD into your System folder. The Macintosh operating system will automatically place it inside the Extensions folder. Restart your computer.
If you have a Power Macintosh you will also need to install the QuickTime PowerPlug extension in the same way.
This CD includes QuickTime 2.1. If you have an older version and you wish to replace it with version 2.1 you will need to drag the old version to the trash before placing the new version into the System Folder.
