Embellish 2.02b Demo Program

Hello!

This file contains the installation routines for the 
FULLY functional demo version of Embellish.  To run
the installation the following method is suggested:

For Win95 users, run setup.exe to install Embellish,
see below.

For OS/2 users, run install.exe to install Embellish.

See the read.me file (available after installation) for
information on un-installing the demo version.  

Win95 users:
Because of the way Windows handles file associations
(the .bmp like extension of file names), the installation 
for Embellish is broken into 2 parts.  The first is
accomplished by the setup.exe command.  After running
this, Embellish can be run and is fully functional.
However Embellish will not be associated with any of
the graphics files it can read.

When a program is associated with a file extension, the
program's icon will be shown when you view the file's 
icon and the program will be launched when the user
double clicks on the file's icon.  

We do this 2 part install because you may want to keep
files associated with an image viewer, a web browser or
whatever.  If you decide that you do want the file's
associated with Embellish, run the program regsetup.exe
after installing Embellish (it will be in the same 
directory as Embellish).  Read the instructions it
provides and be sure to not to destroy the backup file
it creates.  This file is needed if you ever want to
uninstall Embellish.

What is Embellish?

Embellish is a cross platform (OS/2 & Win95) image editing
application.  It is completely
multithreaded - multiple images can be opened simultaneously,
file saves and printing occur in the background, etc.  You have
control over the priority of processes, which allows you to
manage which programs get the most attention.

Embellish takes an object orientated approach to image editing.
Every time you make a paint stroke, cut and paste or perform a
special effect you create an object. These objects can be moved,
resized, manipulated or have transparency changed.  You can even
link a URL to an object for use in creating image maps.  Save
objects for later use or copy and paste objects between
different images.

Embellish includes 22 special effects, such as swirling, oil
painting and acid wash.  Effects can be applied to the entire
image or just to selected objects.

Embellish has over 50 built in numerical filters with the
ability to design your own (up to 7 by 7 grid).

Embellish has 16 paint tools that can be combined with 14 types
of "paint" to create an almost unlimited variety of looks to
your paint strokes.


To our knowledge, Embellish is the first package to integrate
web tools into an image editing package.  GIF animations
can be created from individual frames or by built-in transition
effects.  Image maps can be designed and tested, including
client side, server side or hybrid.  Creating optimal palettes
based on multiple images is a simple process.  Because of
Embellish's object based nature, semi-automatic animation
sequences can be quickly built.

Embellish supports interlaced/transparent/animated GIFs as well as
interlaced JPEGs.  In fact it supports over 14 different file
formats and includes batch conversion routines.

Embellish supports pressure sensitive digitizers.  To use a
digitizer under OS/2 requires IBM's Pen for OS/2.

The Win95 version also supports TWAIN acquisition devices.
OS/2 scanner support is currently limited to drivers provided
buy CFM of Germany.
