Notes about PICTshow

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
PICTshow is being provided as a extra. Gazelle Technologies, Inc. makes no claims or warranty as to the performance or usability of the PICTshow application.

System Requirements
To use PICTshow, you will need a color capable Macintosh running under system 7.0 or greater, with a 13" or larger monitor, and at least 4 MB of available RAM.

Quick Start
Double-click on PICTshow. Now, click the Add Folder button. A navigation window will appear requesting which folder you wish to load. Once you have located the desired folder, click once on it so that it is highlighted, then click the Add Folder button at the bottom of the window. Now, you will return to the main PICTshow screen. If you have selected a folder that contains elements that PICTshow can access (PICT or GIF images, QuickTime movies), then you will see a list of files begin to appear on the right side of the screen. When the busy cursor indicator stops, click on the Show button and the slide show will begin. Be patient, remember that some of these files are large and may take a while to load. Hold down the  Command and Period keys when you want to end the slide show. (You may have to hold these keys down for a few seconds).

Experiment with delay settings to find the optimal settings for your system.

Large Monitors
If you are using a monitor that is larger than 14", you may need to allocate more memory to PICTshow. The application is already set to request up to 6 megabytes of RAM if you have it available. If you should need more than this, and you have the RAM available, copy the application onto your hard drive. Click once on the application icon, and type Command-I. A dialog box will appear that provides information on when the application was created, how large it is, etc. At the bottom of this window will be a box with the words "Preferred Size" next to it, and the number "4096" in it. This is the amount of RAM in Kilobytes that the program asks for when it is launched. By increasing this number, you are increasing the program's memory allocation.

Technical Support
Please make sure to read the PICTshow Manual if you are having problems. Chances are that you'll find a solution right away. If you still have questions, call our Technical Support Department at (619) 536-9999. Please have a copy of your invoice handy, and be seated next to your computer (powered-on) before you call.
