Image File Formats
_______________________________
The image files on this ArtGear CD ROM are stored in these
resolutions:
High Resolution (approx. 37 MB)
High resolution files are 300 dots/pixels per inch. These images are ideal
for high resolution reproduction and have a size of 12" x 12", allowing for
full page reproduction at 150 lpi.
Medium Resolution (approx. 9 MB)
Medium resolution files are 300 dots/pixels per inch and have a size of
6" x 6". These images are ideal for smaller, high resolution layouts, full
screen multimedia and comps.
Low Resolution (approx. 0.5 MB)
Low resolution files are 72 dots/pixels per inch images of the same size as
the medium resolution images. They are best suited for multi-media
presentations, "for position only" placement in layouts, and on-screen
previews.
Both the high and medium resolution files have been provided as JPEG
files while the low resolution files are TIFF files. In all cases, the
images have been saved at maximum quality, ensuring files that reproduce
well at high resolutions. We recommend that you save the JPEG files as TIFF
files before working on them.
ArtGear File Name Extensions
_______________________________
The files on ArtGear CD ROMs have been named using a set of
extensions that allow for quick identification of the different file types
and resolutions. Use the following table as reference.

You may use Kudo Catalog Reader to find specific image files on this CD
ROM. Files can be searched by keywords or chosen by thumbnail
previews. Once located, items can be copied, previewed, placed, printed or
opened by another application. Open the Kudo folder, and choose between
the 16 Bit (SETUP16) and 32 Bit (SETUP32) folders. Launch the
SETUP.EXE program and follow the prompts to install the Kudo Catalog
Reader onto your system. For more information, please refer to the Kudo
README.TXT file under \Kudo\Setup16 or \Kudo\Setup32 directory on
this CD ROM.
Extensis(TM) Fetch(TM)

You may use Extensis Fetch to find specific image files on this CD ROM.
Files can be searched by keyword or file names. Please refer to the Fetch
manual and Read Me file under the Extensis Fetch folder on this CD ROM
for more information.
Adobe(R) Acrobat(TM)
_______________________________
Some documentation on this disc is supplied in Adobe Acrobat PDF
format. You will need to install the Acrobat Reader software in order to
view these documents. The "Acrobat(TM) Reader 3.0 Install" can be found on
this disc in the "Utilities" folder on Mac systems. Please follow the
instructions in the "Read Me First!" document found with the Acrobat
installer. For PC systems, the installer can be found in the ACROREAD
folder within the START folder. Double click AR16E30.EXE to install the
16-bit (Win 3.x) version of Acrobat Reader or AR32E30.EXE for the 32-
bit (Win 95/NT) version of Acrobat Reader.
The use of Adobe Acrobat and the Portable Document Format (PDF) at
Image Club is integrated with nearly all of our information distribution
tasks. Because of Acrobat, we aren't as reliant on laser printers,
imagesetters, offset presses, paper or postage costs to publish & distribute
our internal documents, product information or graphic samples.
Everything from text and simple line drawings to EPS clip art and the
richest, full color digital photographs can be distributed using the PDF
format. Acrobat allows fast access to images or text with the same level of
quality as the original document, independent of computer platform.
