- CPIC SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
- -------------------------
- CPIC is the quickest and easiest-to-use multimedia manager/viewer utility
- you will ever use. CPIC's intuitive user interface and rich features
- provide all the power you need.
-
- Features Include:
-
- VIEWING: Viewing is simple - just double click on the file name/thumbnail
- with the left mouse button to view an image! Click again to return to the
- file list. To access a powerful set of editing features, just move the
- cursor to the top of the viewing area, and a menu bar appears, filled with
- editing features, enhancements, conversions and preference options.
-
- THUMBNAILS: Unlike other programs, CPIC lets you choose between 2 sizes!
- Photodex has developed a sophisticated palette system for extremely high
- quality and lightning fast thumbnail creation. Thumbnails are stored for
- later use in a data file for the fastest access available.
-
- PICTURE INDEXES: Create thumbnail catalogs of any combination of files in a
- myriad of different styles and configurations. Just set up the index with
- the WYSIWYG index preview, and click 'GO!' Indexes can be printed to paper
- or stored to many graphics file formats.
-
- MAXISHOW: Another 'first in the world' for CPIC. Photodex presents
- 'Maxishow', the unbelievable multiple image slideshow! Runs just like a
- traditional slideshow, but contains a configurable number of images per
- screen. Supports sound and MIDI music files also.
-
- MULTITASKING: CPIC creates thumbnails while you use it, so you never have
- to wait again! Click on the handy thumbnail 'Create' button, and CPIC will
- instantly start creating thumbnails. No status windows to wait for, no
- annoying delays, no headaches! You can keep using your machine, viewing
- pictures, running slide-shows, etc. while CPIC is working. Incomplete
- thumbnails are remembered, so when you enter CPIC again, they will be
- created automatically.
-
- INSTANT ZOOM/REAL-TIME PAN: CPIC is the first graphics utility in the world
- to offer instant zooming with a real-time mouse pan at the touch of a key.
- Frame rates are based on processor speed, and can easily be in excess of 30
- updates per second (video speed!)
-
- CROPPING: While viewing an image, CPIC allows the user to outline an area,
- optionally adjust the area, and then crop to the outlined area. In
- addition, the 'auto-crop' feature instantly analyzes the image and suggests
- the best crop outline to use to remove unwanted borders and advertisements.
-
- ENHANCEMENT: Control brightness, contrast, color saturation, hue, black
- point, white point, red gamma, green gamma, blue gamma, and negativity
- either through an easy-to-use pop-up toolbar, or through simple to remember
- function keys.
-
- SLIDESHOW: Select files and click on the slideshow toolbar button. Also
- plays videos, animations, sampled sound and MIDI music files automatically.
- Many options provided to control delays, sequencing and music playback.
-
- PRINTING: CPIC supports all printers compatible with Windows. Options for
- multiple copies and collation supported.
-
- CPIC provides support for the following file formats:
-
- AVI, BMP, DIB, FLI, FLC, FLX, GIF, HLP, JPEG,
- JPG, MIDI, MOV, MPEG, PCC, PCD, PCX, PNG, RLE,
- RMI, TEXT, TGA, TIFF, WAV
