View Options

NORMAL brings the graphic back to its original size if you use any of the other options below.

ZOOM does just that! It allows you to enlarge or shrink the viewing of the graphic.

Zoom works on a toggle button.. if you have zoom toggled on, the button stays depressed until you

click on [turn off] the button again. If you're not using the toolbar, then go and un-check the option.

DRAG ZOOM

Drag Zoom lets you clip an area of the graphic to zoom in on.

Place the mouse cursor on the upper left corner of the spot you want to zoom in on.

Now while holding down the mouse button, drag it across and down the screen.

Once you see the outline of the clipped area the way you like it, release the mouse button.

That clipped area is now zoomed in on.

You can reclip the same area again for an even closer look. If you zoom in to much,

all you'll see are giant colored boxes. Clicking the Right mouse button restores the

graphic to its original zoom size.

FIT TO WINDOW will fit the graphic [proportionally] to the window size.

STRETCH will stretch the graphic to the window size.

SNAP brings the window back to the graphic size.

The Above View features have icons on the toolbar.

Go to Open File to use the CONVERT feature.

File Selections

FILE COMMANDS - File Selector

Available are some handy file commands to help manage your graphic collection.

Also.. check out Mouse & Keys to use to tag multiple files!

FOLDERS

The folder option allows you to create a new folder [folder] for your files.

Just enter in the new name you want and click on accept. The folder is now ready

for files.

[F] Turn off refresh

The F button will stop the file window from refreshing during a move or erase command.

This will keep your place while you select other files.

[A] Autosave

The A button will bring you to your Autosave folder.

RENAME

This will rename the highlighted file to whatever name you like.

MOVE

The move command moves the highlighted file to a new folder or drive.

COPY-DROP

The copy-drop command allows you to copy all the highlighted files and place the

copies in a new folder or drive leaving the originals where they are.

Once you have clicked on the copy button, go and select the folder you want to

place the copies in, then click on drop.

ERASE

You have two ways to erase files:

•	1. You can move them to the trash bin for future deletions.

•	2. You can have them removed from your hard drive instantly.

You will be allowed to confirm each deletion, or have them all removed with one click.

VIEW

When this button is enabled [on] you will be able to view the highlighted file.

This works for text, zip, help, and miscellaneous files.

PREVIEW

The preview window displays all the graphics, videos, and sound files for you.

When you highlight a file and the preview window is activated [depressed], it will

display or play the file.

PREVIEW BUTTONS

•	The preview button [V], will display the highlighted graphic full screen.

•	The [P] button will play a movie or sound file.

•	The [S] button will stop a movie or sound file.

CUSTOM LISTS

Custom lists are proberly some of the best ways to view and select files..

Pressing any of these buttons loads them. They are as follows:

1. Slide Show  2. Screen Saver  3. Quick Shots  4. Thumbnails  5. PlayBin

To save a custom list, just click on the [S] button above the custom list box once you have

loaded the custom list with your selected files (see Keys & Mice).

Use the arrow buttons on the right side of the file window to move files into the custom list.

Or, you can drag and drop them from the file window to the custom list window.

The other two up/down buttons are for moving the files inside the custom list window.

This will not move the files from their original folders.

ENCODE/DECODE

This will encode the highlighted file [E].

The [D] button decodes the highlighted file.

The Encode/Decode option is for encoding the graphics for communications

transfers [internet, WWW, E-Mail].

Supported: UUEncode/UUDecode

To ENCODE a file, highlight it and then click on the [E] button.

This will leave the original file alone, and make an encoded copy with the

same name, but the extention will be replaced with: .UUE

Example:  Graphic.Jpg   to   Graphic.UUE

To DECODE a file, highlight an encoded file with the UUE extention,

then click on the [D] button.

This will overwrite the original file if it's in the same folder to the

original files name and extention. So if you don't want it overwritten,

copy the original file to a different folder, then decode the file.

SEARCH

You have two search methods included.

•	1. Use the [F] button to search your hard drive for files.

•	2. Use the Quick Directory Find text box for searches once in a selected folder.

The [F] button will search your hard drive [forward] from the folder you are

currently in. If you're on the root [the bottom of the drive], it will search

the complete drive.

The Quick Directory Find works like this..

Start typing the file you are looking for.. and it will automatically bring you to it,

if.. it's there!

TYPE LIST BOX

The type list box is a VERY important feature for the file selector.

By selecting file types in this list you can narrow the viewing selections to the type

you want. By clicking on BMP for example will display just the BMP's in the current

folder. You can click on as many as you want.

To clear the list [view all types again], just click on the [C] button.

To view JUST graphics [no txt, htm, zip..], double-click on the list itself.

This feature is also how you see multiple icons and Web pages.

DRIVE BUTTONS

The drive buttons save and restore any drive and folder to memory.

This allows you to open and go to a saved folder of your choice. See custom tabs below.

DRAG & DROP

The file list and custom list boxes both accept drag & drop.

Use the right mouse button to drag a file or group of files to the custom

list box from the file list box.

Use the right mouse button to drag a file up & down the custom list box.

You can of course also use the arrow buttons between the two boxes to move files

into the custom list.

The custom list box also accepts files from Windows File Explorer [as does Makaha itself].

RUN COMPLETE DIRECTORY

This will run the complete current folder. The correct files will be extracted, so..

don't worry if the folder has different types of files in it.

Use the spacebar to advance one graphic at a time, and the backspace or enter

keys to backup one graphic.

SAVE Button (if tabs are turned on)

To save a certain folder for the tabs. Click on the tab you want to save as a

tab folder. Then go to the folder you want to save.

Now click on the Save Button to the left of the Path & File Name window.

The tab is now saved for that folder. Anytime you click on that tab, you will

be brought to the saved folder. Repeat the process to change and save to a different folder.

POROGRESSIVE Button

The Progressive button will display the highlighted progressive GIF file as created.

CUSTOM Tab

To use the Custom Tab, go to Preferences and click on the Edit tab.

In the custom window. Enter three file extentions that you would like displayed with the

custom tab. Put a space between each extention.

INFO Button

This will bring up information on the highlighted graphic that the properties [P]

command doesn't supply.

Saving Graphics

SAVE FILE

To save the graphic you are viewing, click on its titlebar to make sure it's the active window.

This applies to any graphic you are viewing, or customizing.

Then click on the Save File icon. In the file selector window, type in the file name that you

want to give your new graphic.

By highlighting the file TYPE, you will automatically change the extension of the file.

Make sure you have the correct file type highlighted, even if you change the extention manually,

the file won't be saved in the correct format if the correct TYPE is not highlighted.

Once you have done this, select the  Compression (see Compression), and flavour of the type

of graphic you want to save your new graphic as.

For the Extention, select the one from list that you typed in [Even if you select a different

type, the type you select will over-ride your typed Extention.

If you do that, rename the graphic later to reflect the new type].

This will save and Convert the file if needed, in one step.

Some types of graphics don't give you much to change, others.. like JPG, offer lots of options.

You can also save a graphic by pressing F3 at anytime (see Autosave)

© Copyright 1999 Brandyware Software.


Convert/Resize

Go to File Selections to use the CONVERT feature.

CONVERT

You can convert a graphic file to any one of 21 different formats.

Keep in mind the bits per pixel [BPP] for each graphic. If you have a 24-bit graphic and you

select a 8-bit format to convert too, you will lose some quality in the graphic conversion.

You can convert any number of graphics at one time, just highlight the files you want to convert

and click on the convert button. If you do convert more then one at a time, all graphics will be

converted to the same format selected.

You will be given a list of available formats to convert to, select one, plus any options

like the bits per pixel [BPP] (see Color) and the quality of the compression

(see Compression). At this time you can also choose to add a thumbnail [64 pixels or less]

(see Thumbnails) to the graphic [CMP & JPG only].

Once you've done that.. click on accept and all the files will be converted to the new format.

The original files are not deleted [erased]!

If you select a file to convert with the same name that already exists in the folder,

it will be overwritten.

RESIZING allows you to shrink or enlarge a graphic to fit whatever you need it for.

Resizing can effect the graphic four different ways.

•	1. You can maintain the aspect ratio of width to height.

•	2. You can set your own width and height.

•	3. You can use or not use resample to keep the graphic perportioned to it's size.

•	4. The more you shrink or enlarge, the more detail you lose.

A new resized copy is created and the original copy is left alone allowing you to

resize from the original again if needed.

The new copy is not saved yet! You must save it in the format you want. You can use

the autosave feature (see AutoSave)  to save it to the autosave folder with or without

thumbnails (see Thumbnails). Or, you can use the save command from the main menu

(see File Open Commands).

© Copyright 1999 Brandyware Software.


AutoSave

AUTOSAVE is a real handy feature that lets you automatically save the top active graphic

into your choice of 7 different formats.

The new file will be given a unique name and placed

in the autosave folder off of the Makaha folder, or you can pre-select a folder

(see Preferences) under [Folders] preferences.

The file name will always start with the word AUTO, plus a number beside it, AUTO####.BMP, the number

is incremented. The EXTention will default to the one you selected.

This feature also includes the ability to automatically include a thumbnail (see Thumbnails) with

each autosave [CMP & JPG only].

Pressing F3 or using the pull-down menu will invoke this feature.

© Copyright 1999 Brandyware Software.


Printing/Scanning

PRINT

Prints the top active graphic to the printer.

Use your printers setup for adjustments.

To center your graphic on the page, enter 0 in the TOP and LEFT positions.

SCANNING

You must have a SCANNER and the required drivers for this feature.

Your Scanner must be TWAIN compliant. The TWAIN interface is typically used by Scanners, but it's also

applicable to devices like Digital Cameras, and Frame Grabbers. You must have TWAIN drivers already installed

for your scanner to use the Acquire Scan option.

If the Select Source option is disabled, your TWAIN driver could not be located.

The Acquire window is resident in your TWAIN driver, and is not a part of The Viewer Pro32-Makaha.

Makaha supports 16 and 32 bit twain drivers.

This feature also works with frame grabbers and digital cameras.

To scan, grab, or load from a camera just follow your capture programs software prompts,

and when it's finished, Makaha will automatically load the graphic into a new file.

The new scanned graphic is not saved yet! You must save it in the format you want.

You can use the autosave feature (see AutoSave)  to save it to the autosave folder

with or without thumbnails (see Thumbnails). Or, you can use the save command from

the main menu.

© Copyright 1999 Brandyware Software.


Edit File Options

Edit File Options:

COPY

Copy, copies the active [top most] graphic to the Windows clipboard.

You can now load the clipboard into any other graphic program [paint].

Or paste it as a new file.

PASTE

Paste, pastes the copied [or whatever is in the clipboard] to a new file.

You can now use the built-in Clipboard option to see the contents of the

clipboard.

Paste will now go active if something is waiting on the clipboard.

CROP

Crop allows to you crop portions of any graphic displayed.

Place the mouse cursor on the upper left corner of the spot you want to crop. Now while holding down the

mouse button, drag it across and down the screen. Once you see the outline of the cropped area the way

you like it.. release the mouse button.

You may re-crop as often as you like, until you use Set Crop [below].

SET CROPPED

Set Cropped sets the area you cropped in to its own file.

Click on Set Crop to redisplay the NEW graphic window with the cropped area.

Now go through the File Save routine to save the cropped graphic.

The above Edit features have icons on the toolbar.

UNDO

The undo feature only works with the last loaded graphic. Even if you switch windows,

the new active window will receive the Undo graphic.

Use the SET UNDO command to make the top active graphic the undo graphic.

LOAD Graphic into PAINT program

This will load the top most graphic into the windows Paint

program for editing. Remember to save the file after you have done your editing.

It will be loaded as Work.Bmp.

The folder [folder] it's saved to is "Makaha" or your installation folder.

The default Paint Program is [Windows Paint] at: Windows C:\WINDOWS\PAINT.EXE

You can change this by going to Preferences and typing in the PATH to your paint program.

Image Commands-Options

COLOR Commands  ( see below )

WALLPAPER

All you need to do to use any graphic as Windows wallpaper, is make the graphic

you want the active graphic by clicking on it, then click on the wallpaper

icon at the top. Makaha will convert it to a Windows 24-bit BMP file, rename it

to "Makaha Wallpaper", and place it in the Windows directory. It will then inform

Windows of the change.

You can tile it, center it, remove it, and replace it at will.

IMAGE

The Image options let you do things like, Rotate the graphic to any degree.

Reverse the graphic. Flip it upside down and back again. Shear the graphic to any angle.

Plus Resize it. [these options become permanent with a File Save].

There are also some cool effects you can apply to your graphics, like Emboss or Mosaic.

The best advice here is to tell you to just play around with them. Anything you do to a graphic does

not take effect until you save it! So you can apply any of the effects you want to a graphic without

them taking affect until you save it. Plus, you have Undo, if you want to try out something else.

This applies to the Filters as well. Keep trying different ones at different degrees until you get the

effect you're looking for.

______________________________________________________________________________

MEDIAN applies a median filter to the bitmap.

MOSAIC applies a mosaic [tiling] filter to the bitmap.

By dividing the bitmap into tiles of a specified size and changing the color of all pixels

in each tile to the average color of pixels within the tile.

POSTERIZE applies a poster effect to the bitmap.

OIL applies an oil-painting effect to the bitmap.

SOLORIZE applies an effect that mimics the accidental exposure of photographic film to light.

It does so by inverting all color data with an intensity value greater than or equal to the

threshold that you specify.

AVERAGE changes the color of each pixel in the bitmap to the average color of pixels in its

neighborhood. This results in a blur effect.

UNDERLAY combines the specified bitmap as an underlying texture for the current one.

This is most effective when the underlying image is a filtered one, such as an embossed image.

Underlay can be interesting. Try opening a bunch of graphics and then select this option.

You can place any of the opened graphics as an Underlay of the top active graphic.

You can get some very interesting effects this way.

EMBOSS applies an emboss effect to the bitmap, letting you specify the depth and direction of the effect.

SPATIAL FILTER imposes a spatial filter on the bitmap. Spatial filters are used for operations such

as sharpening an image or detecting edges within the image. This method works best with 24-bit, 16-bit,

or grayscale bitmaps. If a bitmap uses a color palette, this method matches the new brightness value

of each pixel to the nearest color in the existing palette.

___________________________________________________________________

Image Format Terminology

___________________________________________________________________

The terminology for image formats can be confusing because there are often several ways of describing

the same format. This section explains what the terms mean.

A 32-bit image is a specialized true-color image used for an Alpha channel or CMYK color spacing.

If an image is 24 bits per pixel, it is also called a 24-bit image, a true color image, or a 16M color image.

Sixteen million is roughly  the number of different colors that can be represented by 24 bits, where there

are 8 bits for each of the red, green, and blue values.

If an image is 16 bits per pixel, it is also called a 16-bit image, a hi color image, or a 32K color image.

Thirty-two thousand is roughly the number of different colors that can be represented by 16 bits, where

there are 5 bits for each of the red, green, and blue values. [Devices that specify 64K color support

are also referring to 16-bit images, but they are counting the left-over bit.]

If an image is 8 bits per pixel, it is also called an 8-bit image or a 256-color image.

Two hundred fifty-six is the number of different colors that can be achieved by using

the image data as 8-bit indexes to an array of colors called a palette.

If an image is 4 bits per pixel, it is also called a 4-bit image or a 16-color image.

Sixteen is the number of different colors that can be achieved by using the image data as 4-bit

indexes to a palette.

If an image is 1 bit per pixel, it is also called a 1-bit image, a black and white image, a 2-color image, or a

bitonal image. Two is the number of different colors that can be achieved by using the image data as 1-bit indexes

to a palette. The palette can contain colors other than black and white, although black and white are most common.

The same terminology is applied to video cards. For example, an 8-bit card is one that is capable of

displaying 256 colors.

___________________________________________________________________

COLOR COMMANDS

SEPARATE separates the bitmap by color plane to produce one grayscale bitmap per plane.

You can specify any of several color-space models, including CMYK.

PLANES is the array of grayscale bitmaps created by the ColorSeparate property.

MERGE creates a color bitmap by merging grayscale bitmaps that were created as color separations.

ADDNOISE adds random pixels to the bitmap, letting you specify the percentage of coverage

and the color plane.

HUE changes the bitmap hue.

SATURATION changes the color saturation of the bitmap.

SHARPNESS sharpens or blurs the bitmap.

INTENSITY DETECT METHOD filters the bitmap to detect colors in a specified intensity range.

Intensity levels range from 0 to 255 for each color plane [red, green, and blue].

This method processes each plane separately. If a value falls within the range, it is raised to 255,

and if it falls outside the range, it is lowered to 0.

HALFTONE converts the bitmap to a halftone.

GRAYSCALE converts the bitmap to grayscale

GAMMA CORRECT adjusts the intensity of colors in a bitmap by changing the gamma constant that is

used to map the intensity values.

INVERT inverts the colors of the bitmap, like a photographic negative.

CONTRAST changes the contrast of the bitmap.

FILL fills the bitmap with the specified color.

STRETCH INTENSITY increases the contrast in an image by centering, maximizing, and proportioning

the range of intensity values.

HISTOGRAM EQUALIZE equalizes the bitmap.

HISTOGRAM CONTRAST increases or decreases the contrast of the image in a bitmap, using a histogram

to determine the median brightness.

Internet Options

To use the internet features you must have a internet browser and an

internet connection. Sending e-mail also requires a mail program if one is not

built into the browser.

INTERNET GRAPHIC SEARCH

If you have an internet connection, you can let Makaha search

for thumbnailed graphics on the internet for you.

All you need to do is enter in your search keywords.

You can use the "AND" or, "OR"  commands as well.

Example:  Space or Stars,   Space and Stars.

Makaha will search the selected site for you, and return

in the default browser (IE or Netscape) all the matching

graphics in thumbnail format.

Custom Button

Custom allows you to enter in your own URL address to any

search engine you like.

The easiest way to do this would be to go to the search engine,

and copy & paste in the URL address.

RUN BROWSER

This will open your browser and go to the selected internet site.

Use this for frequent visits to your favorite graphic sites.

Enter in the URL address under, Internet Address

Screen Capture

There are two different types of screen CAPTURES supported.

•	1. The Top screen capture [whatever you see while using Makaha].

•	2. The Desk top capture [anything on the screen under Makaha].

You can use the function keys F1 & F2 to invoke a capture.

You can also use the Tray Menu if Makaha is minimized or in the background.

The new screen capture is not saved yet! You must save it in the format you want.

You can use the autosave feature (see AutoSave)  to save it to the autosave folder

with or without thumbnails (see Thumbnails). Or, you can use the save command from

the main menu.

Use the crop (see Edit Commands) feature to size it or capture a portion of the screen capture.

Visual Editor

The VISUAL EDITOR lets you view your graphics while you edit them.

The screen might look a little confusing at first, but after awhile you will get the hang of

it. It's actually really simple.. you use the scrollbars to change the value of each function,

then just click on the button to the right of the scrollbar to activate the new value.

If you don't like the results, just click on the UNDO button and try again.

Use the SET button to set the last undo to.

You can even paste whatever is on the clipboard to the background of your graphic.

Place something in the clipboard by copying a graphic before you use visual editor.

The small buttons marked [S]ave and [L]oad will save your settings for future editing.

The new edited graphic is not saved yet! You must save it in the format you want.

You can use the autosave feature (see AutoSave)  to save it to the autosave folder

with or without thumbnails (see Thumbnails). Or, you can use the save command from

the main menu.

Slide Show

SCREEN SAVER (Registered Option) see below.

You can have as MANY different Slide Show lists as you want!

The great thing about this slide show is that you don't have to move all the files into one folder,

or convert them first into other types to play them!

Just leave them right where you have them now. Include them in the custom list.. and presto!

You can place them anywhere you like of course, all in one folder if you want. It doesn't matter.

If you erase the file at a future date, the missing file will not cause an error.. it will just

skip the file and move on to the next file. Check your list once in awhile. Use the Preview button to see if

it's still there, if not, remove it from the custom list and re-save it.

SAVING SLIDE SHOW FILES.. and RUNNING them.

Saving Slide Show Names

Go to the file selector, click on 'Slide Show'.

and type in a new name in the scroll down selection box under the 'Slide' title.

Now click on the [S] button above the selection box to save the new list name.

Saving Slide Show Lists.

Now select some files. Move them to the 'Custom List', then click on the [S] above the

'Custom list' window. The slide show files are now saved. Now, click on the

file selectors 'Cancel' button, and run the slide show by clicking on the slide icon.

SLIDE SHOW OPTIONS

Go to "Preferences", click on the Slide Show Tab, Click on Slide Show Options.

There is so much to try to explain.. it's best again for you to just play around

with this feature awhile and see what it can do! Here is an attempt to cover it for you though..

Okay.. the first thing you want to do is select some files for the Side Show (see Selecting Files)

on how to do this (you must have a Slide Show List already saved to set the options).

Once that is done.. go to Slide Show Options and start selecting some effects. Use the TEST button

to try out the effects. I'll explain some background options first. You can have a single

background picture that all the other effects will run on top off.

This is the [BackPic] option. This only supports BMP's right now.

The files name will be added to the caption bar for reference.

Or you can have it a solid color, or a gradient color running across the background.

Now for Transitional EFFECTS.. the effects available are all listed in the drop down list boxes.

You can have multiple [up to 5] passes, with each pass a different effect.

The effects also have colors associated with them. By changing the start and ending colors

you can drmatically change the effect look.

PAINT Effect

This works the same as opening a graphic in Makaha. It will open on the selected effect, then go

into the transition effects.

By adding FRAMES to the picture, you can again change or enhance the effect you are trying to get.

The frame option is completely customizable. You can set the width of the frame, highlight, shadow,

and the border colors. Inset or raised border.

The frame setting also sets the frame setting for the FULL SCREEN viewing.

VIDEOS Included in your Slide shows

You must set this option from here to enable this feature, otherwise the videos will be ignored

in the Slide Show List

Set your video slide options.

Full, default, or custom size.

Select any corner to play the video in.

Once, or loop the video.

Turn the volume on or off.

Have it play with the slide show.

With the TEXT option you can add your name or company name to the slideshow.

The SOUND feature will play a list of files in a row, or a single file in a loop.

The sound files can be added at the same time you select the slide show files (see File Open) .

Or.. you can select a file here [options] for the single loop file. This file will also be kept in

memory for later use, and displayed in the caption bar along with the BackPic picture address.

The VIDEO files are also added at the same time as the graphic and sound files (see videos).

DELAY is set in milliseconds.. [1000 = 1 second] Time period between slides.

[While Running] The [S] key is used to start/stop the slide show. While in stop mode, use the

spacebar to advance the slide show one frame at a time, and the backspace key to back-up a frame.

The TRANSPARENCY feature will make the selected color transparent while running the slide show.

WAND adjusts the size of the wand for transition effects. The color choosen adds to the effect.

MOUSE turns on/off the mouse pointer while the slide show displays.

FIT TO SIZE will adjust the graphic to fit the size of the screen allowing you to view the

complete picture during the slide show.

SETTING DELAY

You can pause the Slide Show for a set amount of time between each slide,

by Right Clicking on the screen.  From 1 to 32,000 seconds pause.

You also have the options of saving the last loaded slide show list,

and starting from zero each time instead of where you left off the last time.

____________________________________________________________________

Selecting slide show files is very simple!

Go to the file selector (see Open Files)  and place all the files you want in the slide

show in the custom list box and then save it!

You may add videos [mpeg, avi, and mov] and sounds [wav, and midi] to the list.

The videos will take their turn along with the graphics, but the music files will all

play in sequence one after the other in the background.

SCREEN SAVER

The screen saver supports all the same graphic formats as Makaha.

Select and save the screen saver files.. they will be displayed in the order they

are in the custom list.

You don't have to move any of the graphics, they can be on different drives and

directories, and they can be of any type supported (see File Types Supported).

To Run The Screen Saver:

Go to Windows Display, then Screen Saver. From the list, select MSS.

You can use preview, but the options are in Makaha's Slide Show Options.

The file MSS.SCR [the screen saver program] was copied to the

Windows directory when Makaha was  installed.

The file SAVERLST.TXT [your custom list] is also found in the Windows directory.

Warning: If a file is removed at a later date from your hard drive, you should

update the custom list to reflect the change, Makaha will not do this automatically.

Selecting Files

Select files the same way you do Slide Show files (see above). Except of course,

click on the Screen Saver button instead of the Slide Show button first.

© Copyright 1999 Brandyware Software.


Music - Sound Files

Makaha supports WAV & MIDI sound files.

The .WAV & .MID sound files run on a VCR style control.

You can play your sound files one at a time, or the whole folder at once.

Click on the button displaying this symbol [>>], to view the last folder of sound files.

Clicking on the [A] will play All the files in the folder.

The ? will show info on a 8-bit WAV file.

The volume controls only work for the WAV sound files.

TEXT files are not just files with the .txt extention, they can have almost any extention.

As an example: .Ini, .Me, .Lst, .Diz, .Doc, are all text files, and the list is a lot bigger.

When the VIEW button lights up [ is enabled ], that means the highlighted file is a text file

that Makaha can display for you.

Makaha will try to determine which viewer to load. Either Wordpad or Notepad. Makaha expects

these viewers to be in their default directories [both are included with Windows95/98 & NT].

HELP files can also be displayed. Try using search from the root drive while the .Hlp extention

type is highlighted, and you will get all the .Hlp files on that drive.

HTML or HTM files can also be displayed one page at a time. To view a list of web pages (see Web Pages).

HTML files are web pages from off the internet [ or that you have created ].

If the associated graphics to the web page are available, they will be displayed as well.

This includes animations.

ZIP File Viewing

Zip File Viewing

The program PKZIP by PKWARE Inc. is required to use this option.

The program must also be on your PATH. [ see your DOS-Windows manual for an explanation on what a PATH is ].

Makaha will view the graphics, text, and help files inside a zip file without the need to unzip

the file first. This comes in real handy if after you view the zip file and decide you don't

want it.. you can just erase it without going through a complete decompression and install.

Another benefit is.. you can keep your graphics in the zip files to save hard drive space.

While viewing graphics, the graphic will be displayed in the PREVIEW window (see Open Files) .

The text will be imported in to the built-in viewer. If it's not displayed correctly, you can then

load it in to Wordpad right from the built-in viewer.

A zoom option has been supplied for better reading. [ exactly as the one supplied here ].

Just click on the magnifier above to use zoom.

If you do see a graphic that you want.. use the EXTRACT button to extract just the highlighted

file. The EXTRACT ALL button will do just that, extract all the files in the zip file and place them

in Makaha's TEMP folder.

You must keep track of what you extract in to the temp folder. If you try to use this as an

install program, PKZIP will ask for overwrite prompts for files with the same name [like SETUP.EXE]

which almost all programs have today. Makaha will not keep track of the files you extract!

If you want to keep the files you have now in the temp folder but also want to extract other files.

Use the create folder [see Open Files] option, then move the files you want to keep in to the

newly created folder.

Icons & Cursors

Icons & Cursors

You can view cursors

Windows Cursor [CUR]. This is a file format for storing Windows cursors [mouse pointers].

Makaha does not load or save transparency information in these files.

The size when you write these images should be exactly 32-by-32 pixels.

Icon Viewing

Makaha is not designed as an icon editor!

You can view icons just like any other graphic, one at a time, or you can view all the icons

in a folder at once. To view all the icons in a folder, highlight the .Ico extention

in the TYPE list box, then click on accept. This will load the icon viewer. The icon viewer

lets you turn any clicked on icon to a Bitmap [BMP].

The size when you write these images can be no larger than 255-by-255 pixels.

Thumbnails

To create thumbnails, you must either convert them using the thumbnail option,

or AutoSave (see AutoSave)  them. Two types are supported, .CMP and .JPG.

Makaha places the thumbnail in the original file. When viewing thumbnails,

only the thumbnail portion is loaded for fast retrieval.

Whenever a thumbnail is created, Makaha keeps track of it for quick loading

of all thumbnails. If a graphic that has a thumbnail in it is erased at a

later date, Makaha will update the list automatically.

If you move a graphic after you created the thumbnail, it will be erased from

the list. The only way to place it back on the list is to do another conversion

on it, or edit the file "Thumb.Dta" and edit the path.

The size of the thumbnail will be 64 pixels by 64 pixels by 8 or 24 bits

depending on what bits you select to save it in.

Use the View Thumbnail option from the pull-down "Open" menu on the main

screen to view your thumbnails..

You can also create thumbnails using the "Web Page" creation option from

inside "Quick Shots".

The only types of thumbnails supported are .CMP and .JPG (see File Types Supported).

You must convert (see Convert)  to one of these types and select the

"Save With Thumbnail" feature to create thumbnails.

While viewing your thumbnails, you can group them anyway you like!

To group your thumbnails, first enter in a new group name in the text box.

Now click on the [Group] button. That's it! You're done. Now, when the thumbnail

window is up, select the group from the pulldown list and the group will be loaded.

To customize a group, click on [Drag], an empty list box will pop-up for you

to fill with your new custom group. To add a thumbnail to the new group, click

and drag the thumbnails caption to the list box and release the mouse button.

Add as many thumbnails to the new group as you want.

Now add a new group name, and click on [Done].

You can have up to 32,000 different groups of thumbnails.

The Autoload thumbnail feature will load all the thumbnails you have

created. It doesn't matter what drive or folder the thumbnail is in,

as long as it's in the same folder as it was when you created the

thumbnail. The best way to use this feature is to create a special

folder for your thumbnails [graphics] and move all the ones you want

to keep in this folder. Then create your thumbnails with them.

Use the compression (see compression) of either .CMP or .JPG to reduce

the size of the graphics as well to save hard drive space.

If you move a graphic that has a thumbnail, it will be deleted from the

Autoload list and you will either have to convert or edit the file "Thumb.Dta"

and change the path to the new drive and folder for that graphic.

You can find the "Thumb.Dta" file in the default Makaha folder.

Any text editor [like notepad] will work to edit this file.

Graphic Compression

Compression Using LEAD [CMP] and JPEG [JPG] Formats

Compression of color and grayscale graphic image files is useful because the files are big.

They can range from 100 kilobytes to more than 200 megabytes.

Compressing the image files does the following:

•	1. Dramatically decreases the storage requirements

•	2. Improves the input and output speed within a system

•	3. Improves the transmission speed over networks or phone lines

Image  files can be reduced to 200 times smaller than their original size.

The LEAD CMP compression format was created by LEAD Technologies, Inc., and it delivers a

much smaller file size and better image quality than other compression techniques,

including JPEG. LEAD's CMP file format allows for decompression to a 24-bit medium at 24-bit

color and to an 8-bit medium at 8-bit color without sacrificing image quality.

This eliminates the need to convert all images to 8 bits in order

to support the low end videos or to save one 8-bit file and one 24-bit file.

The result is one much smaller file size that can be viewed on a 24-bit video card at

24-bit true color, as well as on an 8-bit VGA card at 256 colors.

GIF Animations

Makaha will automatically play any animated GIF file

when opened or previewed.

Click on the animation with the Right mouse button to bring up the

page options. You must first stop the animation to move forward or

backward in the animation list.

___________________________________________________________________

To create GIF animations, open all the graphics you want inside the animation.

Now select [Create Animations] and all the files you loaded will be listed

for you [it doesn't matter what type you load, they will all be converted to GIF].

Now select the order you want them in by placing them in the Create list

box by highlighting them and clicking on the down arrow for [Pictures] or right arrow

for [Banners].

Try to make all the graphics the same size and resolution for best results.

Also, the smaller the graphic, the smoother the animation.

Next, select your options.

The DELAY feature is for the delay between the showing

of each graphic. This is in milliseconds. 1000 ms = 1 second.

The same SIZE feature will resize all the graphics to the size of the highlighted

graphic in the create list.

The LOOP option will play the newly created animation in a continuous loop.

Otherwise it will play the list of files just once and stop.

The DISPOSAL METHOD

Sets the animation playback disposal method.

The disposal method can be different for each bitmap in a list [but it is usually the same].

The TEST button will test the animation file for you before you save it.

This is good for time delay checking.

All files when saved, are all automatically converted to GIF's and saved in the

"AutoSave" folder [off Makaha Folder] as ANI##.GIF files. You can use the rename

command later to change the name to whatever you like (see File Open) .

The [Picture / Banner] options will display the preview window in either

a picture or banner style. If you're creating banners.. try to make them

all the same size for an even animation effect.

Preferences

Preferences allows you to save certain settings for future sesions.

GENERAL Tab

Dithering, specifies the type of dithering to use when loading an image with 256 colors or less.

Paint with fixed Palette, images that are less than 16 bits per pixel require a palette, which is an array of

color values. The value of each pixel in one of these images is an index into the palette. [Images that are

16 bits per pixel or higher store the color values directly in the image, as pixel values.] The number of colors in

a palette is limited to the highest possible index value. For example, if an image is 8 bits per pixel, it can have

a palette of 256 colors, which is the number of different colors that can be referenced by using the pixel values

as 8-bit indexes.  If an image file is less than 16 bits per pixel, the file contains a palette, and when you load

the image into a bitmap, the palette is also loaded into the bitmap.

It is handled the same as a regular PCX file, except for the multipage feature.

For PCX and DCX files, you can read and write the following bits per pixel: 1, 4, 8, 24.

Kodak Formats [PCD and FPX]

Makaha supports the following Kodak formats:

PhotoCD [PCD]. This is a common high-resolution format for images on CD-ROM.

An image file can contain one or more physical resolutions, with fixed dimensions.

You can choose which resolution to load, and thus control the size of the resulting bitmap.

You can read the following bits per pixel: 8, 24.

You cannot write PhotoCD files. They are read-only.

FlashPix [FPX]. [WIN32 only] This Kodak format is newer than PhotoCD.

This format can also contain more than one physical resolution, but without fixed dimensions.

You can choose which resolution to load, and thus control the size of the resulting bitmap.

You can read and write the following bits per pixel: 8, 24.7

Exif Formats [TIFF and JPG]

Exif is a standard for image files created with digital cameras and other input devices.

The standard is set by the Japan Electronic Industry Development Association, and formally it is

called the Digital Still Camera Image File Format Standard.

Exif files contain either uncompressed TIFF images or compressed JPEG images.

Makaha reads and writes the following Exif formats:

TIFF. This is a tag-based file format designed to promote universal interchanges of digital image data.

You can read and write 24 bits per pixel.

JPG. This is the JPEG format with YUV 4:2:2 sampling.

The Exif standard requires the width of the image to be a multiple of 16 and the height to be a multiple of 8.

You can read and write 24 bits per pixel. [Grayscale is not supported.]

For more information, refer to Compression Using LEAD and JPEG Formats.

Windows Metafile Format [WMF]
