Continuous sound for your Slide Show
Normally, when you add music to your slides, each slide has its own track. When the slide changes, its track stops playing
and the track for the new slide (if any) starts. The HTML file in this download allows you to play a single track across all slides. Here is how
you use this file:
- Download launch.zip, extract the html file and place it into the same folder in which you saved your slide show.
- Display the file in a simple text editor such as Notepad. You will need to modify two links.
- Modify music_file.mp3 to the full path name of the music file you want to play. The type of file depends on what your browser
supports. The track is set to repeat indefinitely. If you want to play the track a specific number of times instead, modify infinite
to the number of repetitions desired.
- Modify slide_show.html to your slide show's filename.
- Save the file.
To play your slide show, double click on Launch.html. Then click on the Start Slideshow link to start the show.

Color Line Files
| Color line files
can be used with any transformation that includes a Color Line control,
most commonly the Gray/Tint and Gradient transformations. To apply a color
line file, click the Opt button just to the right of the Color Line control
and select Load... from the options menu.
A collection of color line (.cln) files is available
for download as a single ZIP archive file. If you download this file you
will need to extract the images from the archive. Under Windows XP, you
can do this simply by double clicking on the file and dragging the images
to a new folder. Under earlier versions of Windows, you may need additional
software such as WinZip to open ZIP
files. |

Random Texture Files
| Random texture files
can be used as custom screens with the Special Effects/Halftone transformation
to create mezzotint effects. Random texture files can also be used to
create masks for use with the Gray/Brightness transformation to apply
texture to images. When used for this purpose, the textures must be extended
as necessary (using the Special Effects/Tile transformation) to equal
or exceed the size of the input image and then cropped to match the exact
size of the input image.
A collection of black and white texture files (distributed
as TIFF files) is available for download as a single ZIP archive file.
If you download this file you will need to extract the images from the
archive. Under Windows XP, you can do this simply by double clicking on
the file and dragging the images to a new folder. Under earlier versions
of Windows, you may need additional software such as WinZip
to open ZIP files. |

Autorun.exe - Creating auto-play CDs
| This file lets you
create CD-ROM-based Picture Window slide shows that play automatically
when the CD is inserted into the computer (assuming auto-play has not
been turned off for the CD-ROM drive). Autorun.exe is a very small program
that launches the file or program whose name is listed on its command
line.
How to make an auto-play CD-ROM slide show:
1) If necessary, rename your slide show HTML
file so there are no spaces in its filename (don't rename the slide
show folder). Place your slide show (both the HTML file and its associated
folder) in the top level folder of the CD layout.
2) Use Notepad, Word, or some other program that
can edit text files to create a file called autorun.inf that contains:
[autorun]
open=Autorun.exe <slide show name>.html
with the name of you slide show. Place this file
with the slide show files in the top level folder of the CD layout.
Note there must be a space between Autorun and the slide show name and
a carriage return at the end of the last line.
3) Burn the CD.

Q-13.tif - Test File for use with Kodak Q-13 Step Wedge
This file is a simulated
Q-13 Step Wedge and can be used to create custom curves to adjust the
rendition of black and white images. When printed, the image should more
or less match a Q-13. If some patches are too light or too dark, you need
to create a curve that adjusts the image so its printout matches the Q-13.
This same curve should then correct other black and white images to print
with correct tonality. This technique is limited by the tonal range of
the Q-13 -- the test image has been created assuming that paper white
matches the lightest patch and full black matches the darkest one.
