It is our ambition to expand this choice even further in the future. In addition to the PhotoLib™ CDs we provide you with a range of services to obtain images for large format four-color printing.

PhotoLib™ is a collection of stock photography and color photographs from a variety of stock agencies, individual photographers, companies and organisations. The library offers you a wide choice to find appropriate images to present your ideas on screen and paper. PhotoLib™ images are suitable for business presentations, newsletters, flyers, desktop printers, multimedia and  four color printing.

Each photograph has been scanned in full 24-bit color (16.7 million colors).  PhotoLib™Volume CDs contain medium-resolution images (up to 730 x 485 pixels with1 MB file size). The images have been optimized for optimum screen presentation and impact.

As usual printing may require image adjustment to obtain the best possible result. Please read the chapter  "How to Use PhotoLib™ Images" for more information.

Minimum System Requirements

You will require an Apple Macintosh with 8 MB of memory, a CD-ROM drive, System 7 and Quicktime 1.5 or 1.6. This will allow you to access, display and convert images. A color monitor with 256 colours is required to be able to view the photographs with reasonable fidelity. A full 24-bit color monitor is needed to display the images with full color.

To be able to use images in other software you may require more hardware and software. Please consult with your software supplier.
Keep in mind that image processing imposes some very heavy demands on processor speed, memory size and available disk space. We recommend strongly that you install PhotoLib™ on a Mac with a fast processor such as a  Mac Quadra.

Should you want to process high-resolution images on your computer minimum requirements will rise rapidly. Keep in mind that a high-resolution image  occupies 18 MB of memory. If you have too little memory excessive disk swapping will multiply processing time. Consider also the amount of disk space required to store your images.

File Formats and Compatibility

PhotoLib™ images on this disk are stored in JPEG (Joint Photographics Expert Group) compressed format. 
You can read  or place the JPEG image files directly in any desktop publishing program or image processing supporting the JPEG file format. Adobe Photoshop is such a program.

For use with other software you will first have to convert the image file into the appropriate format such as PICT or TIFF by using the supplied Image Decompressor utility or other software such as Adobe Photoshop. Or you could use the Clipboard to cut and paste.
