- (v1.0) ULVIEW10 - Win Graphics/Image Viewer
- Ulead Viewer for Windows is a powerful
- viewing/converting utility that allows you to
- quickly preview, open, view, corp, save, save
- to other format, and make minor modifications
- to image files. This version supports BMP,
- CGM, EPS, GIF, JPEG, PCD, PCX, TGA, TIFF, and
- WMF file formats.
- Freeware for non-commercial usage
- Ulead Systems, Inc. <info@ulead.com>
-
- ******************* This is Freeware! ********************
-
- This uncrippled image handling program is free, no questions
- asked!
-
- Why are we doing this? Because the need for fast and
- accurate communication becomes more critical every day. Now,
- more than ever, much of it is taking place over networks,
- BBSs and the Internet. And a lot consists of multimedia
- files. Ulead specializes in multimedia solutions. Consider
- them a gift to help all of us communicate better.
-
- ************* What is Ulead Viewer? ***************
-
- Viewer is a powerful viewing utility that allows you to
- quickly open, view, save, and make minor modifications to
- image files. You can zoom in to 8x and out to 1/8x size
- according to your needs. As a stand-alone program, you can
- open practically any image in Viewer by dragging it from
- File-Manager or through its Open dialog box. When used with
- File Manager, double-clicking on an image in File Manager
- automatically shows it in Ulead Viewer, (as long as the
- image type is associated with Ulead Viewer in your system).
- Viewer allows you crop unwanted portions of images and has a
- unique "global viewer" that helps you navigate about images
- that are larger than their windows. By openiing a file in
- one format and then saving to another, Viewer allows you to
- do file conversion. You can open multiple viewer instances
- and use 'Tile', 'Always On Top', and other commands to
- arrange and compare them on the desktop.
-
- ***************** File Formats Supported *****************
-
- This version of Ulead Viewer supports the following file
- formats:
-
- BMP A popular device-independent Windows file format. This
- format can be understood by practically any Windows
- program that supports graphics. One popular use for
- this format is to create wallpaper and patterns for
- the Windows desktop. Viewer fully supports this
- format.
-
- CGM A device independent graphics file format well suited
- for two-dimensional CAD drawings. This format is
- widely accepted by many programs. Viewer can only read
- these files and save them to other formats.
-
- EPS A device independent file format for PostScript
- printing and file exchange. Viewer can only read and
- write to the raster component of this format.
-
- GIF A popular file format developed by Compuserve for
- exchanging Image data via modem. The GIF format
- supports indexed 16- and 256- Color formats as well as
- Grayscale and Black and White. Viewer fully supports
- this format.
-
- JPEG An industry standard file format developed by the
- Joint Photographers Experts Group for file exchange.
- This True Color or Grayscale format offers superior
- compression of large images, sometimes achieving
- ratios up to 100 to 1. However, it uses a lossy
- compression method which means that some data is
- irreversibly altered during compression. For on-line
- use, the losses are rarely noticeable. Viewer fully
- supports this format.
-
- PCD This proprietary format was created by Eastman Kodak
- for putting photographs on CDs. PCD files
- simultaneously support Grayscale, Indexed 256-Color,
- and RGB True Color data types. Viewer can only read
- PCD files and save them to other formats.
-
- PCX A popular format for some scanning packages and
- painting programs, this format supports Black and
- White, 256-color, Grayscale, Hi Color, RGB True Color,
- and CMYK True Color. Viewer fully supports this
- format.
-
- TGA Developed by TrueVision for its full color video
- boards, this format has gained wide acceptance for
- many video capture applications. It supports
- Grayscale, Indexed 256-Color, Hi Color, and True Color
- data types. Viewer fully supports this format.
-
- TIFF Developed to promote using desktop scanners and DTP
- applications on a PC, this format has become very
- popular and is supported by many programs across all
- platforms. It supports Black and White, Grayscale,
- Indexed 16- and 256-Color, and RGB and CMYK True Color
- data types. To control file size, it uses PackBits,
- CCITT G3 1-D, and other compression methods. Viewer
- fully supports this format.
-
- WMF A device independent file format that supports both
- vector and raster components. This format supports
- Black and White, Indexed 16- and 256-Color, and RGB
- True Color data types. It is a widely accepted format
- among modern Windows-based programs. Viewer can read
- all WMF files and save raster-based ones.
