Image Club Release Notes
(c)1993 Image Club Graphics Inc.
PhotoGear (tm) Volume 03 : Industrial Backgrounds
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
RAM, 25 mb of free hard drive space, System Software version 6.0.7
or later, a CD ROM drive, Foreign File Access software (supplied with
most CD ROM drives) and an 8 bit grey scale monitor.
The recommended Macintosh configuration is a Macintosh IIci or
faster with 20 mb of RAM, 100 mb of free hard drive space, System
Software version 7.0 or later, a CD ROM drive, Foreign File Access
software (supplied with most CD ROM drives) and an 24 bit color
monitor.
Image File Formats
The image files on the PhotoGear CD ROM are stored in three
resolutions.
High Resolution
Approximately 2390 pixels horizontally by 3060 pixels vertically 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 21 mb in size when decompressed and are ideal for
high resolution, full page (9.0 x 11.5 inches) reproduction at 150 lines
per inch and lower screen frequencies.
Medium Resolution
Approximately 1060 pixels horizontally by 1330 pixels vertically at
266 pixels per inch. Medium resolution files are stored as RGB TIFF
files. These images are approximately 4 mb in size and are best
suited for smaller, high resolution layouts and comps. They may be
reproduced at full size (4.0 x 5.0 inches) using 150 lines per inch and
lower screen frequencies.
Low Resolution
These files are approximately 280 pixels horizontally by 360 pixels
vertically at 72 pixels per inch. Low resolution files are stored as 32 bit
PICT files. These images are less than 350 kb in size and are best
suited for multimedia presentations, "for position only" placement in
layouts and on screen previewing.
