each of the images as the last palette loaded will affect all previous images (windows) on

the screen at that time. Images can be edited with any good commercial image editing

program such as CorelDraw or Adobe Photoshop. A shareware program, ImageMagik,

is provided on the CD-ROM. A full screen image is 320x240 pixels thus image windows

will want be smaller than this size depending on how the multiple windows are displayed

For example, if 4 non-overlapping images are used to fill the screen, each image will be

160x120 pixels. The images may also overlap each other. The minimum recommended

image size is 160x120 pixels—any smaller than this gets difficult to see unless it’s a logo

or a name.

Rules

1. Each of the 4 items can be on the same line, separated by commas or on different lines.

2. The text command SLIDE in an entry can be replaced with the percent sign for brevity.

For example; SLIDE15 would become %15.

3. Graphics image files (slides) must be in a 320x240 non–interlaced GIF–89a format.

4. Image files (slides) for multiple windows displays must be sized <320x240 pixels. All

other image specifications apply.

5. The FTP server pushing the slideshow file to ScanVue5

must be set to binary mode.
