All documentation assumes you have a basic understanding of how to use your computer and the programs you have purchased for it.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
Electronic Clipper images require application(s) that are compatible with TIFF, JPEG and/or EPS file formats. The TIFF images are saved as TIFF files in Adobe Photoshop. The JPEG images are saved as JPEG files in Adobe Photoshop. EPS images are saved as Adobe Illustrator 1.1 or 3.0 files. Any other hardware requirements will be based primarily on the applications you use and the type of final output you plan to produce. For best results, your printer should be PostScript compatible.
IMPORTANT
----------
Your Electronic Clipper CD is provided in HFS format, which can be used on the Macintosh only.
ART SELECTION
--------------
** Printed Pictorial Index **
This provides a thumbnail and file name for each image in the issue.
** Adobe Fetch **
The Adobe Fetch 1.2 Browser folder contains:
Ñ The Adobe Fetch 1.2 Browser application
Ñ An Adobe Fetch Browser catalog of the current month's images
Ñ A cumulative Adobe Fetch Browser catalog of the current year's images
Ñ An export file for use with Adobe Fetch
Each of these is explained below. YOU DO NOT NEED FETCH, OR ANY OF THE ITEMS IN THE ADOBE FETCH 1.2 BROWSER FOLDER, TO USE THE ARTWORK. THE FETCH BROWSER CATALOG IS SIMPLY ANOTHER WAY OF LOCATING AN IMAGE.
Adobe Fetch 1.2 Browser application: This application allows you to "browse" a catalog of images. You can view thumbnail versions of the images in the catalog, search for images by keywords, preview images, and copy them to your hard drive.
Current month Browser catalog: This catalog contains all the images in the current month's Electronic Clipper package.
Current year Browser catalog: This catalog contains all the images from January of the current year through the present.
Adobe Fetch export file: If you own Adobe Fetch (a database application that lets you catalog images, movies, and sounds), this export file can be used to create Fetch catalogs. Like the Browser, Fetch allows you to view thumbnail versions of the images, search for images by keywords, preview images, and copy them to your hard drive; in addition, Fetch also allows you to add your own images, movies and sounds to your catalog.
** Multi-Ad Search **
Because keywords and descriptions are attached to the image files, they can be used with Search. When you Add Files to your catalog, Search will pick up the keywords and descriptions from the image files.
USING THE CLIP ART
------------------
** PAGE LAYOUT PROGRAMS **
Open your page layout program, create a new document and place the TIFF and EPS files as you would any other images. The following page layout programs are compatible with both TIFF & EPS file formats:
ÑPageMaker
ÑQuarkXpress
ÑReady, Set, Go!
** DRAW PROGRAMS **
Open your draw program and OPEN the EPS file. These images can be manipulated like any other EPS image. The following draw programs are compatible with the EPS file format:
ÑIllustrator
ÑFreeHand
ÑCanvas
Many of your Electronic Clipper EPS images are provided as layered illustrations. This means that several elements can be lifted out of a single image and used as stand-alone artwork. In order to pull apart or separate the layers of an EPS file, a PostScript draw program like Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia FreeHand is necessary.
** PAINT PROGRAMS **
The TIFF and JPEG files can be the following:
Ñ300 dpi black-and-white images
Ñ170 dpi grayscale images
Ñ300 dpi photos (JPEG file formats)
Ñ170 dpi and 300 dpi color images
They can be manipulated like any other TIFF image in the following programs:
ÑAdobe Photoshop (EPS images are converted to bitmap images)
ÑCorel Photo-Paint
ÑCanvas
USING JPEG FILES FOR PRINT:
To use the JPEG files open in a bitmap editing program like Photoshop. Change the mode to CMYK and resave the image as a TIFF or EPS file format.
If your application was not listed above, please refer to your manual for compatibility.
