                  IMAGE PLUS VERSION 1.0


  Image Plus uses the image palette if the image contains a 
palette if not then the windows system palette is used.  The 
system palette is further determined by the video driver used.  
For instance if you are using a video driver that supports 256 
colors than your system and all the software that uses the 
system palette (barring any restrictions that the software or 
hardware may have) will support 256 colors.  This is important 
because most of the software available uses the system 
palette.  True color 24 bit graphic files do not contain a 
palette and therefore always use the windows system palette.

 When you are in the 256 color (8 bit) mode bear in mind that 
there can be only one hardware palette active at a time.  Image 
Plus gets around this by using a pseudo (fixed) 24 bit palette 
when you are using the "multi screen" option and an 8 bit video 
driver.  If you choose a video driver above 8 bits the 
individual image palette will be used.  Since the pseudo 
palette cannot exactly match every image palette it is 
recommended that you use a video driver above 8 bits when 
manipulating the image palette. 

  Bear in mind that display hardware and software from one 
company may be drastically different from another.  A graphics 
accelerator is highly recommended when using a color setting of 
(8 bits) 256 colors or higher.  It is also prudent to select a 
setting higher than 8 bits when using/viewing graphic files 
above 8 bits. 

  Image Plus supports all the popular raster file images such 
as bmp, pcx, gif, dib, rle, dcx, eps, jpg, pct, tga, wmf, tif 
And wpg.  You may also convert formats using the "Save As" menu 
option.

  Image Plus provides "TWAIN" support for scanning.

  The Laplacian property provides a Sobel Image processing 
function to sharpen an image.  This is a matrix operation that 
works with 8 and 24 bit images.

  The Dialation property provides a Sobel Image processing 
function to increase the size of image features in an image.  
This is a matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit images.

  The RobertsCross property provides a Sobel Image processing 
function to find edges in an image using the Roberts method.  
This is a matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit images.

  The EdgeDetect property provides a Sobel Image processing 
function to enhance all lines in an image.  This is a matrix 
operation that works with 8 and 24 bit images. 

  The HorzEdgeDetect property provides a Sobel Image processing 
function to enhance all horizontal lines in an image.  This is 
a matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit images.

  The VertEdgeDetect property provides a Sobel Image processing 
function to enhance all vertical lines in an image.  This is a 
matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit images.

  The Pos45EdgeDetect property provides a Sobel Image 
processing function to enhance all 45 degree lines in an 
image.  This is a matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit 
images.

  The Neg45EdgeDetect property provides a Sobel Image 
processing function to enhance all -45 degree lines in an 
image.  This is a matrix operation that works with 8 and 24 bit 
images.

  Halftone is used to convert color images to monochrome (black 
& white) using a halftone dithering technique. 

  Image Plus setup places the following files in the 
Windows\System directory if you uninstall copy these files to a 
disk and delete them from your hard drive.

THREED.VBX 
CMDIALOG.VBX 
VBRUN300.DLL 
MSOLE2.VBX  
MSOLEVBX.DLL 
ACCUVB16.VBX
IPLUS.INI  (Windows Directory)

  Image Plus supports OLE2 using (MDI) multiple document 
interface allowing you to open several objects on one screen 
regardless of format.  You may toggle the objects to the 
clipboard as needed or edit them with a click of the right 
mouse button without creating another file.  You may also save 
frequently used OLE2 objects as a Image Plus File (*.ipf). Note 
you must have SHARE.EXE added to the autoexec.bat file to use 
OLE2.

  If you have applications that support OLE (most apps 
support OLE1) and OLE is not working correctly than you need to 
re-register your apps in the  registration data base.  To do 
this rename your "reg.dat" file in the windows directory, exit 
windows and restart, your apps are now re-registered for OLE1.

  For OLE2 registration make sure that file extension (.reg) is 
associated with regedit.exe.  You can check this by selecting 
associate under the file menu in File Manager and type (reg) 
in the extension box.  You should see regedit.exe as the 
association.  If you don't then you must make the association 
before continuing.  With reg in the extension box choose 
browse, in the windows directory select regedit.exe and press 
OK.  Check the association before continuing.

  If you have applications that support OLE2 and your OLE is 
not working correctly than your registration data base is 
probably corrupt, this is not uncommon when installing OLE2 
apps.  To correct this follow the procedure above for OLE1 then 
using the "RUN" command type "REGEDIT" you will see the apps 
that are registered.  Delete the empty lines (if any) and all 
your OLE2 apps (such as Corel4, Visio 2.0 etc.), make sure that 
you delete OLE2 apps only.  In your windows\system directory 
locate the file "OLE2.REG" and double click it, you should now 
see a dialog box indicating that OLE2 is successfully 
registered.  You need to execute all of your OLE2 apps to 
complete registration.  I strongly recommend that you execute 
all your OLE2 apps before leaving windows.
