To catalog and browse image, movie, sound and font files :
1. Click on the opening screen Install button or on \Win_kudo\Setup32\WIN95RDR.EXE if you have Windows 95/98/NT4. Windows3.1 users click on \Win_kudo\Setup16\WIN31RDR.EXE. The Kudo files are installed on your hard disk.
2. Click on the opening screen Open Catalog button or go to \Win_kudo and click on a catalog (KDN) file. Windows 3.1 users have no catalogs on this CD-ROM
3. In the open image catalog, select a thumbnail image and right click to view the original image or media file. Double left click to open the image file in an associated application such as Illustrator or PhotoShop.
4. Maximize the catalog window and click on the scroll bar to move through the catalog. Click on the colorful toolbar buttons to view the thumbnail images in different sizes.
5. Click on the Riffle control (the double-headed arrow with tick marks) in the toolbar. Adjust the Riffle speed with the up arrow key and spacebar to stop.
6. Click the Find button (small flashlight) on the Toolbar to search for image or multimedia files in the catalog using text descriptors. The Name and Notes fields in the Find dialog box can provide useful clues when searching for images. Many catalog publishers also provide Keywords in the Notes field to assist your search.
7. The results of search operations are presented as a found set of thumbnail image records. Most Kudo catalog searches are visual browsing journeys, but text searches can help to narrow the browsing range of image records. Select "Find All" from the "Image" menu to display all of the thumbnail image records in the catalog.
8. To put a selected image file into Illustrator, PhotoShop, PageMaker, Word, QuarkXPress, Corel Draw or other Win95/NT application, drag it into a document window. Some applications require you to place the image in the title bar of the document window or to press the Control key while dragging. Kudo will find the original image file and place it in that document.
9. THe Kudo Image Viewer will display images and play movies, sounds and animation. You can also drag media files between the viewer and browser.
Kudo is a fast way to find, view, print and use digital images, sounds, or movies. Kudo creates and reads catalogs that can contain thousands of records of media files. Each record is made up of a thumbnail size image and associated text fields which describe the media file. Think of each thumbnail as a miniature representation of your original image, except that it takes up very little memory and is formatted for easy distribution. Kudo catalogs are distributed on CDROMs, computer networks and the Internet. Visit www.kudo.com to get your free updated copy of Kudo and learn about Kudo catalogs.
