File Names and Descriptions ------------------------------ This demo version of Typo/Graphic Edges 3.0 is installed by double-clicking on the file Setupex.exe. The installation consists of the following files and documents: Afxtypo.8bf (Plug-in file) Af321.afx, Af263.afx (Path Autofx\Tge\Edges) Readme.txt (Path Autofx\Tge) In addition there should be an Adobe Acrobat .pdf manual which comes with this software. If you do not have this manual one is available online at our website: http://www.autofx.com B. Compatible Programs ---------------------- Typo/Graphic Edges 3.0 Windows Demo Version has been qualified to work with the following host applications: Image Editing Applications: Canvas 5.0 Fractal Painter 4.0.3 Paint Shop Pro 4.1 Picture Publisher 7.0 PhotoPaint 6.0, 7.0 PhotoDeluxe 1.0 Photoshop 3.0, 4.0 Page Layout and Illustration Programs: Pagemaker 6.0, 6.5 Freehand 7.0 C. Installing the Plug-in ------------------------- You will be asked when installing the plug-in to select the folder for your application's Photoshop compatible plug-ins. Typo/Graphic Edges should appear in the menu where Photoshop plug-ins reside. Depending on the application, you may have to identify (usually through Preferences) the folder where the plug-in resides. Consult your host application's manual or call their tech support if you need further assistance in determining where Photoshop plug-ins go and how to access them. For Pagemaker and Freehand, fixed locations for the plug-ins are used. You must install the plug-in in these locations for the host application to access the plug-in properly: PageMaker: Pm6/Rsrc/Usenglsh/Plugins/Effects Freehand: Fh7/Usenglsh/Xtras Note - You may need to substitute "Usenglsh" with your international version folder name if required. For other applications, you can typically place the plug-ins in any folder but you may have to initialize the location using the application's Preferences. The following application reference list identifies where you set the plug-in's location: Canvas: Preference > Painting > Plug-ins Fractal Painter: Edit > Preferences > Plug-ins Paint Shop Pro: Preferences > General Program Prefences > Plug-in Filters Picture Publisher: Tools > Options > Plug-ins Photo-paint: Tools > Options > Plug-in Filters PhotoDeluxe: File > Preferences > Plug-ins Photoshop: File > Preferences > Plug-ins D. Running the Plug-in from your Host Application ------------------------------------------------- To set up the effect in an image editing application, you must first have a file open. If there is a selection, the effect will be applied to the selected area only; if there is no selection, the effect is applied to the entire image. To set up the effect in a layout or illustration program, you must have first placed an image and have the picture box or image area for the effect selected for the plug-in to be available in the plug-ins menu. If you have set up the image and installed the software correctly, the Typo/Graphic Edges plug-in will be visible from within the host application. All plug-ins from Auto F/X are stored in a folder named Auto F/X, in the location where plug-ins are normally shown. Because each host application may access plug-ins differently, the following list of host applications and related menu commands to access Photoshop compatible plug-ins is provided. Canvas: Image > Filter > Auto F/X Fractal Painter: Effects > Auto F/X Freehand: Xtras > Auto F/X PageMaker: Element > Image > Photoshop Effects > Auto F/X Paint Shop Pro: Image > Plug-in Filters > Auto F/X Photo-Paint: Effects > Auto F/X PhotoDeluxe: Effects > Auto F/X (Set Preferences > Long Menus) Photoshop: Filter > Auto F/X Picture Publisher: Image > Effects > Auto F/X E. Memory Management -------------------- Typo/Graphic Edges gets its memory from both RAM and Virtual memory from your startup system hard drive. It is helpful to set the RAM allocation of the host application a little higher than normal while running this software to optimize the performance. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Typo/Graphic Edges is a trademark of Auto F/X Corporation.
