The picture can then be saved to disk, made a hard copy, or edited with some built-in drawing tools, such as flip and rotate, resize and stretch, crop, ellipse, airbrush and more. ------------------- System requirements ------------------- To use InBless PandaShop 2.5, you need a PC with: * Pentium 100 MHz or higher processor (Pentium MMX recommended) * 12 MB of RAM (32 MB recommended) * SuperVGA with 256 colors or higher-resolution monitor * 5 MB of available hard-disk space * Mouse or compatible pointing device * Windows 95 or Windows 98 * VB 6.0 runtime files (Can be downloaded at InBless homepage) ------------ Installation ------------ If your computer meets or exceeds the above requirements, you can install InBless PandaShop 2.5.
