Kudo For Windows Fast Start

To browse the image and media files on this CDROM install Kudo and open a catalog:
1.	Install Kudo from the opening screen that appears when you put the CDROM into your computer or double click on AUTORUN.EXE or SETUP.EXE from the File Manager/Explorer. 

2. 	The Kudo files are installed into the Kudo folder of your hard disk and shorcuts are created in the Windows Start Menu for Kudo and the Kudo catalog(s).   The catalogs stay on your CDROM and are opened from the Windows Start Menu.

3.	Open a catalog, select a thumbnail image record and double right click to view the original image file.  Left click to open the image file in an associated application such as Corel Draw or Photoshop.  If no application is associated with the image or multimedia file, the built in Kudo viewer will try to open the original image.

4. 	Maximize the catalog window and click on the scroll bar to move through the catalog..   Click on the Toolbar buttons to view the thumbnail images in different sizes.

5.	Position the cursor over the Riffle control (the double-headed arrow with tick marks) in the lower right hand corner of the Catalog Reader window. Click and hold the mouse button down over the Riffle control to zip through the contents of the catalog. Using the Riffle control is like pressing Play and Fast Forward or Reverse on a VCR to quickly move forward or backward while watching the images flash by. 

6.  	Click on the Find button on the Toolbar to search for image or multimedia files in the catalog using text descriptors.    The Name and Notes fields in the Find dialog box can provide useful clues when searching for images.  Many catalog publishers also provide Keywords in the Notes field to assist in your search.  

7. 	The results of search operations are presented as a found set of thumbnail image records.  Most Kudo catalog searches are visual browsing journeys, but text searches can help to narrow the browsing range of image records.   Select "Find All"  from the "Image" menu to display all of the thumbnail image records in the catalog.

8.	If you are using PageMaker, QuarkXPress, Word or other OLE 2.0 application, select an image and drag it into the document window.  Some applications require you to place the image in the title bar of the document window.  Kudo will find the original image file and place it in that document.  

9.  Visit www.kudo.com. 
 

Kudo for Windows is a fast way to find, view, print and use digital images, sounds, or movies.  Kudo creates and reads catalogs that can contain thousands of records of media files.  Each record is made up of a thumbnail size image and associated text fields which describe the media file. Think of each thumbnail as a miniature representation of your original image, except that it takes up very little memory and is formatted for easy distribution.  Kudo catalogs are distributed on CDROMs, computer networks and the Internet.  

Kudo Catalog Reader will not make or update catalogs.  Kudo Image Browser will make new Kudo catalogs and a gratis version is available from www.kudo.com.

To run Kudo for Windows,  you need a computer running Windows 3.x or Windows 95/NT with at least 16Mbytes of RAM and a color graphics card with at least 1MByte of VRAM.
