Image Club Release Notes
(c)1993 Image Club Graphics Inc.
PhotoGear (tm) Volume 02 : Images of Business
Welcome to the world of Image Club CD ROM Systems. This
PhotoGear disc is one in a line of creative photographic image
CD ROMs from Image Club. We wish to provide you with an
astonishingly wide variety of useful and exciting stock images for
multimedia, fine art, advertising and superb quality, high resolution
output - at a price anyone can afford.
IBM PC & Macintosh Compatibility
All PhotoGear CD ROMs are multi-platform compatible. This means
that the same CD ROM disc may be used on either a IBM PC or
Macintosh computer system. The photographic image files on the
PhotoGear disc may be used on both platforms, as is. Files that are
specific to a particular platform are separated into designated
directories. For example, the "PC" directory contains files that are
specific to the IBM PC compatible platform only. The "Mac" directory
on the PhotoGear CD ROM contains utilities, documents and
applications that can be used only on the Macintosh platform. Using
the international ISO9660 CD ROM standard, PhotoGear discs may
be accessed using nearly every CD ROM drive available today.
System Requirements
The minimum PC configuration is a 286 compatible with 4 mb of RAM,
25 mb of free hard drive space, a CD ROM drive, MS DOS version 4.1
or later and an EGA graphics card.
The recommended PC configuration is a 386 compatible or better with
8 mb of RAM, 100 mb of free hard drive space, a CD ROM drive,
Microsoft Windows 3.0 or later and a high resolution SVGA graphics
card with 1 mb or greater video RAM.
The minimum Macintosh configuration is a Macintosh II with 4 mb of

or later, a CD ROM drive, Foreign File Access software (supplied with

Software version 7.0 or later, a CD ROM drive, Foreign File Access

Image File Formats
The image files on the PhotoGear CD ROM are stored in three
resolutions.
High Resolution
Approximately 1330 pixels by 1995 pixels at 266 pixels per inch.
High resolution files are stored as LZW compressed RGB TIFF
(Tagged Image File Format) files. Compressed TIFF is a non-lossy
compression scheme that ensures the detail and resolution is maintained
in the image. These images are approximately 7.5 mb in size when
decompressed and are ideal for high resolution, full page (5.0 x 7.5
inches) reproduction at 150 lines per inch and lower screen frequencies.
Medium Resolution
Approximately 665 pixels by 1000 pixels at 133 pixels per inch.
Medium resolution files are stored as LZW compressed RGB TIFF files.
These images are approximately 1.9 mb in size and are best suited
for smaller, high resolution layouts and comps. They may be reproduced
at full size (5.0 x 7.5 inches) using 85 lines per inch and lower screen
frequencies.
Low Resolution
These files are approximately 360 pixels by 540 pixels at 72 pixels
per inch. Low resolution files are stored as 32 bit PICT files. These
images are less than 350k in size and are best suited for multimedia
presentations, "for position only" placement in layouts and on screen
previewing.
