- ENGLISH DRAWER: Applications for english speaking countries.
- ------------------------------------------------------------

-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- PLEASE NOTE: DrawStudio must be run from hard drive. When you fill
-
- in your registration number, the program needs to make a copy of it
-
- and as it can't write to the CD, this will create an error. So, install
-
- DrawStudio onto your hard drive before running it.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-

- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- it on your hard drive.
-

- disk, simply drag the drawer to where ever you would like to install

-
-
- English/TextureStudio
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- There is only one drawer for this program. TextureStudio requires
- an FPU and will not work on Amigas without one.
-
- There is no printed manual for this application, but documentation
- for it, can be found in the drawer called Docs (inside
- TextureStudio's directory).
-
-
-
-
- DEUTSCH DRAWER: DrawStudio for German speaking countries
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- See the German readme for details.
-
-
-
-
- MATERIALS: Fonts, Example projects and so on for all users.
- -----------------------------------------------------------
-
- Materials/ExampleProjects
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- In here are various drawers with example projects which show you
- what DrawStudio is capable of. These examples can be used as the
- basis for new projects of your own or simply as a guide to using
- the program.
-
- Also in this drawer is a directory called Gallery's. This contains
- projects of commonly used icons or dingbats. These can be cut and
- pasted between projects.
-
- Each project (not Gallery's) also comes with an example IFF-ILBM
- to show you the quality of files exported from DrawStudio.
-
-
- Materials/Textures
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This drawer contains many sub directories of textures that can be
- used in DrawStudio.
-
- Thanks to the compact disc's ability to hold many hundreds of
- megabytes of data, this drawer provides a ready made library
- of materials to use with DrawStudio.
-
- The textures come in a number of forms and resolutions. For example,
- in the High Resolution drawer, are three other directories of large
- textures, textures that are non-tileable (used to fill objects) and
- textures that have had a paper curl effect applied to them.
-
- If at any time you want to get an overview of what is on the CD
- in the way of images and textures, use your file manager to go to
- the ThumbnailIndexes drawer on the CD and use a picture viewer
- to look at index screens of all the images.
-
- For more details on the textures and images in this directory, see
- the readme file in the Textures drawer.
-
-
- Materials/Photographs
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This drawer contains other sub directories with royalty free
- photographs that you are free to use in your images. These photographs
- are copyright LH Publishing/AJDean and cannot be sold or distributed.
-
- The different category of photos can be found in High-Res and
- Medium-Res formats. Most images are JPGs.
-
-
- Materials/PostScriptFonts
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- In here, in alphabetical order, are fonts for use in DrawStudio.
- They do not need to be installed onto your hard drive, as DrawStudio
- can use them from this CD. These fonts are shareware, and many of
- them have readme files informing you that if the particular font
- is used regularly, then a fee for continued use, is required.
-
- TIP: If you use the Fontmanager in DrawStudio to install
- the fonts from the CD, and save those settings (by clicking
- on Save (not Use), DrawStudio will ask you for the CD if it is not
- in the CD drive when you go to use the program. This information
- is saved in a file called FontList which is generated by
- DrawStudio.
-
-
- Materials/ClipArt
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- In this directory are several drawers of clip art taken from
- the public domain, that can be loaded into DrawStudio and edited.
-
- If you require other clip art, take a look at the samples from
- Artworks who produce commercial quality clip art. There are
- also many CDs about with structured clip art.
-
- Any clip art that you want to use with DrawStudio, will have to be
- converted to DR2D-IFF first.
-
- If you have clip art in the ProDraw format, then you can use a
- freely distributable utility from Soft-Logik called Convert, that
- will convert clip art in the ProDraw format to that of DR2D-IFF for
- use in DrawStudio. ProPage users should also remember that EPS
- clip art from Illustrator 88 and Art Expression, can be converted
- to the ProClip format in ProPage, sent to ProDraw to be saved to
- disk and then converted using Convert.
-
- More filters for DrawStudio will be produced (where possible) by
- the authors.
-
-
- Materials/Artworks
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- In here are some samples from the designers of the DrawStudio logo,
- ArtWorks. Artworks have a number of clip art packs in a format for
- DrawStudio including images for Weddings, DTP Symbols and Christmas.
-
-
-
-
- MUI DRAWER - Magic User Interface (Not Magic Workbench)
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- This contains MUI installed on the CD for those that may only use
- MUI for DrawStudio or are short of space on their hard drive. Before
- DrawStudio can use MUI, you must assign it and that is done by
- double-clicking on the Assign-MUI icon inside MUI's drawer.
-
- If you wish to install MUI onto your hard drive, open the Install_MUI
- drawer and double click on the Install icon. MUI can be installed
- on any partition as an assign is added to your User-Startup so
- programs that use MUI, can find it.
-
-
-
-
- ThumbnailIndexes
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- This drawer contains sub directories containing Thumbnail Index
- screens of all the images on the CD. These can be loaded into an
- application (like DrawStudio), and printed or you can view them
- on-screen. Thumbnails make choosing a particular texture or picture
- much easier.
-
- Our thanks to Don Cox whose Arexx script is responsible for the
- thumbnail screens.
-

-
-
- Addendum Information
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Colour Lists
- ------------
- On this CD, are extra colour lists you can load into
- DrawStudio. Before you load a colour list, you are given the
- option of adding the new colours to existing colours or clearing
- the current list which will be replaced by the new list you are
- loading.
-
- Many of the colour lists are fairly small lists which can be added
- to the default list. For example, the Greys list contains a more
- comprehensive list of greys which may be useful if you are
- working on a greyscale image.
-
- The extra colour lists can be found in the Storage drawer within
- each DrawStudio directory.
-
-
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
- DrawStudio Tip!
- If you wish to clear all the colours to create your own, choose
- Load and when asked "Clear existing Gradients", click on Yes to clear
- all existing colours. Now click on cancel so a new list is not loaded.
- You should now have an empty list in which to start creating your own colours.
-
-
- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
-
-
- Gradient Lists
- --------------
- The gradient drawer in Storage (inside DrawStudio's directory), contains some extra gradients that are ready made for you to use or
- edit. Before you load a gradient list, you are given the option of
- adding the new gradients to existing ones or clearing the current list
- which will be replaced by the new
- list you are loading.
