IMAGE BROWSER

The Lettering Delights Supreme Image Browser is a unique tool that lets you easily scroll through the various images on your screen, change to a different feature, adjust your page layout and print. You also have the option to preview the color images and alphabets and copy them into a clipboard inside the program, or to the Windows Clipboard for us in other programs.

QUICK TOUR

Clicking the Quick Tour button is a great way to learn the program. The tours will walk you through various features and go step by step to help you learn. It will actually show you (not just give instructions). You can play them as often as you like. When trying a new feature, check to see if there is a Quick Tour available to help make it easier.
