PhotoImpact as a server in OLE applications

Before you can use PhotoImpact as a server in OLE applications, you must start and close the program after installation. This is to update the registration database and ensure that all links and paths are in order. You only need to do this one time.

Start PhotoImpact now


Using Program Manager as Windows 95 shell

If you are using Program Manager as your Windows 95 shell during installation, the PhotoImpact program group may not be created properly. This is because Program Manager does not fully support long filenames. You can still run PhotoImpact programs from Program Manager.


Uninstall

Ulead PhotoImpact 3.0 has an uninstall utility. To ensure proper behavior, do not install the different Ulead 32-bit programs in the same folder. Otherwise you may accidentally delete essential files for the programs you wish to retain.


Running Ulead PhotoImpact 3.0 on Windows NT 3.51

Ulead PhotoImpact 3.0 is designed to take full advantage of the 32-bit capabilities of Windows 95 and Windows NT. However, due to some built-in differences between Windows 95 and Windows NT, PhotoImpact may behave differently when running under Windows NT.

1.	If you need 16-color low resolution display in Windows NT, PhotoImpact 3.0 does not support the one plane four bits display mode. As a result, you can not run PhotoImpact 3.0 in Windows NT's standard VGA mode. There may be other display modes that are affected by this limitation.

2.	Windows NT does not automatically resize combo boxes down if their contents do not fill the predefined size.

3.	You cannot perform drag-and-drop operations to the desktop of Windows NT unless the Windows 95 program shell is installed.

4.	PhotoImpact Capture does not support the Select Object and Select Area Screen Capture Source options in Windows NT.

5.	Windows NT's common open and save dialog boxes are the same as those in Windows 3.1 instead of Windows 95 style.

6.	Windows NT's read-only edit control always appears with a border.

7.	Because Windows NT does not support the flat thunk which is supported in Windows 95, some PhotoImpact functions in Windows NT are disabled, including support for all 16-bit APS (Adobe Photoshop) compatible plug-in modules, such as Kai's Power Tools 2.0.


Using Kai's Power Tools and other Adobe Photoshop plug-in filters

PhotoImpact supports Kai's Power Tools and other 16-bit Adobe Photoshop (APS) compliant plug-in effect filters under Windows 95. By performing the installation procedure listed below, you can use these third party special effect filters in PhotoImpact.

1. Install the APS plug-in filters according to their accompanying documentation.

2. Once the APS plug-in filters are properly installed, add the following lines to the ULEAD32.INI file, found in the Windows folder:

[PLUG IN]

PLUGINDIR1=C:\KPT

where "C:\KPT" is the folder where Kai's Power Tools is installed. (If you are using another APS compliant plug-in filter, use the folder name for that filter.) If you have multiple APS plug-in filter folders, increment the number of the headings as follows:

[PLUG IN]

PLUGINDIR1=C:\KPT

PLUGINDIR2=C:\EFFECTS

PLUGINDIR3=C:\FILTERS

3. Check the option Load plug-in effects during initialization in the PhotoImpact Preferences dialog box.

4. After you change the ULEAD32.INI file, additional menu items appear in the Effect menu of PhotoImpact. For example, if you installed Kai's Power Tools, "KPT Extensions" and "KPT Filters" are added.


Customizing file format support

Ulead PhotoImpact 3.0 employs an open file format architecture to support file reading and writing operations. Additional File Input Output (FIO) modules can be added to the FIO folder to enable reading new file formats. This version of PhotoImpact comes with over thirty modules which are placed in the FIO folder under the program folder.

Eastman Kodak PhotoCD (PCD)

In Ulead PhotoImpact 3.0, you can access Kodak Photo CD images with the PhotoImpact CD Browser utility. When accessing these images, the program uses the currently specified image size and data type. If you want to change the image size or data type, use the Preferences dialog box in all Ulead PhotoImpact 3.0 programs or the PhotoImpact CD Browser toolbar. The options that you select here are remembered for the next time you insert Photo CD discs - PhotoImpact supports both Kodak's Pro Photo CD and Photo CD formats.


Using Ulead PhotoImpact 3.0 in editing linked objects

You can use Ulead PhotoImpact 3.0 as an image editor for linked objects in a container program. When a container document is set to automatic link, any changes to the object using PhotoImpact 3.0 is immediately reflected on the object in the container document. If you close the image in PhotoImpact 3.0 without saving it, the edited version remains in the container document. To retain the last saved version of the image and not keep the changes made in your container document, right click on the object and choose "Update Link."
