  filenames or volumes. All the images are annotated with short
  descriptions identifying the subject content and/or the location.

∙ All the images are cross-referenced by 22 major categories/themes.
  Some images may apply to more than one category. The number of

  also importable by almost all image-handling applications available in
  those same computing environments.

  of the images (1,500 or so, countries Argentina through first half of

  developer of the wallet states the liner of each pocket in the wallet
  is comprised of a patented material that lifts minute particles away
  from the CD each time it is placed into the pocket, thus providing a
  measure of added protection for each CD.

∙ Also available are six 40" x 28" full-color posters which have been
  further color-categorized so that individual images appear on the
  posters in the same order they appear on each color-coded CD - all
  to maximize easy reference.

__________________________________________________________________________

archives. Almost all of these hand-picked photographs are in color.

Aztech's Ghost Images & WaterMarks I(TM), features 25 license and
royalty-free* photo images by photographer and graphic designer David
Hushion. This collection was developed with the  graphic designer/artist
in mind. Graphic designers often need textures and backgrounds to add
a particular characteristic or flavor to a graphic construction. However,
it is often desirable to incorporate such backgrounds in a "soft" screen
(eg. 10% of "solid" image). It often takes a fair amount of time to create
such a balanced image.

This collection provides a series of different ghost images and
watermarks that have been created and tested for high-quality 32-bit
CMYK output at an actual size of 8.5" x 11". This requires a file size of
about 22 MB per file.

backgrounds, business, cartoons, common objects, communications,

Since most business applications require that you record information
(which you cannot do to a CD) of one type or another, we thought it
would be a great time-saver if you could view the application before
commiting your valuable computing resources to it. One of the most
interesting features of this CD is that we have set up many of the
applications so that you can try them out (kind of a demo mode) before
installing them to your hard disk.

Requires a 386 PC or better with a CD-ROM drive properly installed for
MS-DOS and EGA or better. This CD-ROM title is a mix of DOS and
powerful Windows applications.
