COMPUPIC SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------
CompuPic is the quickest and easiest-to-use multimedia manager/viewer
utility you will ever use.  It's intuitive user interface combined with
its rich set of features will 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, CompuPic 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.

MAXISHOW:  Another 'first in the world' for CompuPic.  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:  CompuPic creates thumbnails while you use it, so you never
have to wait again!  Click on the handy thumbnail 'Create' button, and
CompuPic 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 CompuPic is
working.  Incomplete thumbnails are remembered, so when you enter CompuPic
again, they will be created automatically.

INSTANT ZOOM/REAL-TIME PAN:  CompuPic 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, CompuPic 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:  CompuPic supports all printers compatible with Windows.
Options for multiple copies and collation supported.

CompuPic provides support for the following image 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
