Expert Image Browser Overview

______________________________________________________________________________

Expert Image Browser allows you to view up to 18 thumbnail images contained on the CD-ROM disk at one time on the screen.  Images are organized by categories which can be selected from the main screen.  You can preview a full-size version of any image by clicking on the appropriate button.  If you wish to use the selected image in another application, the browser allows you to cut the image and then paste it into another program.

NOTE: The images included in your disk are provided in a variety of different formats.  The images you can view in Expert Image Browser are in BMP format and are in 256 colors.  If you need higher resolution images, please refer to the documentation that came with your disk to see what other formats and resolution images are included in the CD.
