 ABOUT COREL PHOTOCD LAB
 =======================

 The Corel PhotoCD Lab is a utility that lets you view Kodak
 PhotoCD images and convert them to other formats.

 Compressed Kodak PhotoCD images require 4.5 MB of memory.
 Using Corel PhotoCD Lab, you can convert these
 large files to formats that require less memory and that you 
 can use with many graphics applications.

 You can convert Kodak PhotoCD images to four formats and 
 specify the image resolution, colours, and rotation. The four
 available formats are:
 
    - BMP
    - EPS
    - PCX
    - TIF


 INSTALLING COREL PHOTOCD LAB 
 ----------------------------

 The installation automatically puts the Corel PhotoCD Lab files in 
 your Windows directory. These files are
 
    - COMMDLG.DLL
    - PCDLIB.DLL
    - PCDXBMP.DLL
    - PCDXEPS.DLL
    - PCDXPCX.DLL
    - PCDXTIF.DLL

 Do not move these files from your Windows directory.

 By default, the installation puts the PCDSCSI.EXE program into 
 the CORELDRV/SCSIUTIL directory.


 USING THE COREL PHOTOCD LAB WINDOW
 ----------------------------------

 You load, modify, select, and view images using the Corel PhotoCD 
 Lab window. To open this window, double-click the Corel PhotoCD 
 Lab icon.

 The Corel PhotoCD Lab window contains four menus that you use to 
 work with images and an area that displays your images. 


 LOADING AN IMAGE INTO COREL PHOTOCD LAB

 You can load an image from any device into Corel PhotoCD Lab without 
 using overlays (thumbprints).

 MODIFYING IMAGE ATTRIBUTES

 The Image menu contains options for modifying the colour, size, 
 and rotation of the image displayed in the Corel PhotoCD Lab window.

 To specify the colour options for the image, select a colour option 
 from the Colour sub-menu of the Image menu.

 select the Rotate 180 option to rotate your image 180 degrees. You
 can't select the Rotate 90 option twice to achieve a 180 degree 
 rotation.

 To return a mirrored or rotated image to its original perspective, 
 select the Restore option from the View sub-menu of the Image menu.
