Thank you for purchasing PhotoDisc Volume 12, Food and Dining. It is our goal to deliver the finest photography available anywhere to our valued customers.
This CD-ROM contains both low resolution TIFF and high resolution JPEG versions of every image pictured in the Volume 12 printed catalog. Also included is a comprehensive image browsing utility called LightBox. You may access the low resolution TIFF files directly from the LO RES folder within the PHOTOS folder on the CD-ROM and import them into any popular graphic design or page layout application. In order to access a high resolution JPEG image found in the HI RES folder, you must decompress the image and save it to your hard drive as a TIFF. The resultant file can then be imported into other applications in the same fashion as a low resolution TIFF file.
The JPEG images can be decompressed in one of two ways:
Ñ If you own Adobe PhotoShop¬ 2.5 or newer, you can simply use the OPEN command under the FILE menu. Version 2.5 has a built-in JPEG decompression module. When prompted to open a file, select a JPEG file directly off the disc and open it. The decompressed image that appears can then be saved in a decompressed format to your hard drive.
Ñ If you don't own PhotoShop¬, a stand alone decompression utility called PICTURE DECOMPRESS can be found in the UTILITIES folder. Copy this application to your hard drive. This program requires at least 15,000K of free RAM or 15,000K of free disk space allocated as Virtual Memory in the MEMORY Control Panel of your Macintosh. JPEG files can then be opened using the OPEN command under the FILE menu and saved as decompressed RGB TIFFs to your hard drive.

INSTALLING THE LIGHTBOX BROWSING UTILITY
You may run LightBox and access all of the PhotoDisc images directly from the CD-ROM disc provided in the package (as long as Quicktime¬ is installed properly). However, for performance reasons, you may want to install portions of the PhotoDisc¬ package onto your hard disk.
These include:
Ñ LIGHTBOX 1.04
Ñ VOL 12 CATALOG
Ñ QUICKTIME¬ extension (place in system folder and restart computer)
These files require approximately 6-7 MB of disk space.
NOTE: If you do not have enough room on your hard disk, both the catalog and the Lightbox program can be run from the CD-ROM disc.

Ñ At least 4 mb of RAM.
