Using Program Manager as the Windows 95 shell

If you are using Program Manager as your Windows 95 shell during installation, the iPhoto Express program group may not be created properly. This is because Program Manager does not fully support long filenames. You can still run iPhoto Express programs from Program Manager.

Other topics


Uninstalling iPhoto Express

iPhoto Express 1.0 has an uninstall utility. To ensure proper behavior, do not install different Ulead 32-bit programs in the same folder. Otherwise you may accidentally delete essential files for the programs you wish to retain.

Running iPhoto Express 1.0 on Windows NT3.51

iPhoto Express 1.0 is designed to take full advantage of the 32-bit capabilities of Windows 95 and Windows NT. However, due to some built-in differences between Windows 95 and Windows NT, iPhoto Express may behave differently when running under Windows NT.

1.	If you need 16-color low resolution display in Windows NT, iPhoto Express 1.0 does not support the one plane four bits display mode. As a result, you cannot run iPhoto Express 1.0 in Windows NT's standard VGA mode. There may be other display modes that are affected by this limitation.

2.	Windows NT does not automatically resize combo boxes down if their contents do not fill the predefined size.

3.	You cannot perform drag-and-drop operations to the Windows NT desktop unless the Windows 95 program shell is installed.

4.	Windows NT's common Open and Save dialog boxes are the same as those in Windows 3.1 instead of Windows 95 style.

5.	Windows NT's read-only edit control always appears with a border.

6.	Because Windows NT does not support the flat thunk which is supported in Windows 95, some photo Express functions in Windows NT are disabled, including support for all 16-bit APS (Adobe Photoshop) compatible plug-in modules, such as Kai's Power Tools 2.0.

Using Kai's Power Tools and other Adobe Photoshop plug-in filters

iPhoto Express supports Kai's Power Tools and other 16/32-bit Adobe Photoshop (APS) compliant plug-in effect filters under Windows 95. By performing the installation procedure listed below, you can use these third party, special effect filters in iPhoto Express.

1.	Install the APS plug-in filters according to their accompanying documentation.

2.	Once the APS plug-in filters are properly installed, add the following lines to the ULEAD32.INI file, found in the Windows folder:

[PLUG IN]

PLUGINDIR1=C:\KPT

"C:\KPT" is the folder where Kai's Power Tools is installed. (If you are using another APS compliant plug-in filter, use the folder name for that filter). If you have multiple APS plug-in filter folders, increase the number of the headings as follows:

[PLUG IN]

PLUGINDIR1=C:\KPT

PLUGINDIR2=C:\EFFECTS

PLUGINDIR3=C:\FILTERS

3.	Check the option Load plug-in effects during initialization in the iPhoto Express Preferences dialog box.

4.	After you change the ULEAD32.INI file, additional menu items appear in the Effect menu of iPhoto Express. For example, if you installed Kai's Power Tools, "KPT Extensions" and "KPT Filters" are added.

Customizing file format support

iPhoto Express 1.0 employs an open file format architecture to support file reading and writing operations. Additional File Input Output (FIO) modules can be added to the FIO folder to enable reading new file formats. This version of iPhoto Express comes with over thirty modules which are placed in the FIO folder under the program folder.

Eastman Kodak PhotoCD (PCD)

In iPhoto Express 1.0, you can access Kodak Photo CD images with the iPhoto Express CD Browser utility. When accessing these images, the program uses the currently specified image size and data type. If you want to change the image size or data type, use the Preferences dialog box in all iPhoto Express 1.0 programs or the iPhoto Express CD Browser toolbar. The options that you select here are remembered for the next time you insert Photo CD discs. iPhoto Express supports both Kodak's Pro Photo CD and Photo CD formats.

Other topics


Increasing the number of graphics file formats read by iPhoto Express 1.0

iPhoto Express 1.0 comes with over ten FIO modules. You can increase the number of graphics file formats that iPhoto Express 1.0 can read if you have compatible graphics filters from other packages, such as MS Office or Publisher, by modifying the [Graphic Filters] section in the ULEAD32.INI file under your Windows folder. Follow this example:

(name of the graphics format)=(full pathname of the filter file),(file extension used by the graphics format),(filter type)

[Graphics Filters]

Micrografx Designer/Draw=C:\Program Files\Ulead iPhoto Express\FIO\imdrw9.flt,DRW,v

HP Graphic Language=C:\Program Files\Ulead iPhoto Express\FIO\imhgl9.flt,HGL,v

Note: "v" (or V) stands for vector filter, "r" (or R) for raster filter, and "a" (or A) for vector and raster filter. (no space between comma and string)

Other topics


Dragging and dropping

If you drag and drop text from one image to another within iPhoto Express, you may not edit the text after it has been placed onto the other image. The same applies if you drag and drop text from images in Ulead PhotoImpact to images in iPhoto Express or vice versa.

When an image with a shadow is dragged and dropped or copied to a document with a different data type, the shadow will disappear. Images with shadows can only be placed onto documents with the same data type in order for the shadow to remain with the image.

Tours

Tours can be run simultaneously, however only the sound for the first tour that was executed will run.
