- TEMPRA Vision installs into the C:\VISION directory without giving you

- space, you need to select a story from the story module to be copied
- onto your hard drive.

- TEMPRA ACCESS
- If you want to use a Kodak Photo CD to make stories using pictures of
- your family that are stored on CD-ROM you will definitely want TEMPRA
- Access on your computer. This CD contains 24 Kodak Photo CD images you
- can load using TEMPRA Access. You can then save the images to hard disk
- in any file format available to use in stories and graphics. TEMPRA Access
- is a 24-bit program that takes advantage of the photographic quality of
- the images stored on the CD-ROM. If you are using the 8-bit TEMPRA Special
- Edition, the Photo CD images won't look as good as they will on a hi-color
- VGA bard. If 24-bit capability is important to you, we recommend you use
- the 24-bit Special Edition that came with the book "Multimedia: Making It
- Work" or that you upgrade to TEMPRA PRO.
-
- To load images from Photo CD:
- 1. In TEMPRA Access, move the cursor to the DSK menu and press the left
- mouse button
- 2. Select Photo CD from the drop-down menu.
- 3. A contact sheet appears on the screen showing miniatures of all the
- images on the CD.
- 4. Select an image to load.
- 5. A menu appears for you to select the size you want the image to be.
- Select the size you want and press the left mouse button.

-
- To save images onto disk:
- 1. Once the image is loaded on the screen, you can save it in any of the
- available file formats.
- 2. Move the cursor to the DSK menu and press the left mouse button.

- 4. Make sure the Images button is highlighted and that you are in the
- C:\VISION\PIC directory (or another directory you want to save your
- images in).
- 5. Select the file format you want to save the image as. If you are using
- the 8-bit TEMPRA GIF, you will want to save your image in 8-bit so
- you can edit it later. If you have a 24-bit TEMPRA GIF, you can save
- the image in either 8-bit, 16-bit, or 24-bit and edit it later in
- TEMPRA GIF.
- If you know you will use the image in TEMPRA SHOW for a story or
- presentation, make sure you save the file as either 8-bit PCX or
- 16-bit TGA.
- 6. Move the cursor to the box above the list of files in the directory
- and press the left mouse button. The box changes color.
