Personal Paint 7 offers more power, more flexibility, more compatibility, but the same ease of use of previous versions. Usability has always been a top priority for this program. While we made more than 100 enhancements, we tried to make the software even easier to use. For example, have you noticed how Personal Paint 7 will try to run in your favorite language and screen mode without requiring any configuration or Assign commands, or how it will automatically open the newer library of two different ones, or how it can detect if your Amiga doesn't have a standard blitter? When you start Personal Paint 7, it checks hundreds of parameters, adapting itself to the CPU, chip set, graphics system, memory and operating system version. It is our goal to achieve 100% of smoothness and 100% of compatibility. If you notice something which you would like to improve, please let us know. If you don't notice anything, and everything just works, we have one more reason to be 100% happy. We believe this is the way good software should be. In order to give you 100% of satisfaction, here are some of the new features we added to Personal Paint 7: - New and improved file formats, including PhotoCD (licensed by Kodak), GIF (licensed by Unisys), BMP (Windows and OS/2), JPEG (not a DataType any more), 24-bit DataTypes and PBM - Professional Internet features like GIF animations, a map editor, and everything needed to achieve maximum image quality in a compact size - Enhanced user interface (pop-up gadgets, different sizes of user interface fonts, NewIcons thumbnails, etc.) - 180 ARexx commands, with scripts directly accessible from the toolbar - New "plug-in" library system makes it possible to add input/output formats (for files, scanners, screens, etc.) and to replace critical Amiga blitter and CPU code with a combination of "virtual blitter" and other logic fully exploiting the different configurations (68040, PowerPC, etc.) - Automatically create directory thumbnails for entire directories - Advanced vector text functions (rotate, antialias, paths, etc.) - CD-ROM edition includes: developer documentation, reorganized manuals (no addenda - all in the right place), tutorial animations, extended artwork The documentation included on the CD-ROM explains all the features of Personal Paint. The examples in the @{" Tutorials " LINK PPaintCD:H/7/0/4/2152/Main} chapter and the tutorial @{" animations " LINK FontTutorials} show how different effects can be combined for practical purposes. The documentation for the ARexx scripts is stored in the scripts themselves. It can be displayed by selecting the script from the tool bar, and clicking on "About..." Third-party companies already offer additional tools and support for Personal Paint 7. For example, the commercial ScanQuix scanner plug-in library is available by RBM. As new libraries for I/O formats or for increased performance in combination with specific hardware configurations are developed, these will in general be made available at no charge on the Cloanto World Wide Web site (http://www.cloanto.com/amiga/), or through hardware and software vendors. The Amiga has been through difficult times, and so have we, developers and users. Yet we have kept working for the Amiga, and you are still here too, with one of our creations. Without your precious support we would not be able to keep writing Amiga software. We will not forget these times, and we hope that you are enjoying them too. Thank you. @{I}Your Cloanto Team @{UI} @ENDNODE @NODE Registering "Cloanto Personal Paint 7 - Registering" @TOC Main @{B}Registering@{UB} Have you remembered to register your software? Registered users are eligible for special offers and upgrades to new versions of the CD-ROM. The special packaging of this @{I}Limited Edition@{UI} Personal Paint 7 CD-ROM did not leave enough room for a full-size registration card. For this reason, we have included an @{" image " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowRegisterPic ENG"} of a registration card. You can print this form with Personal Paint, or copy it manually. If you prefer the second option, maybe you want to consider writing your data on an illustrated postcard, which we would put on display on our office walls. If you prefer to register via electronic mail, please click @{" here " SYSTEM "Copy >NIL: PPaintCD:H/7/0/1/#? RAM:"} to copy a special registration form to the "Ram Disk". You can then edit and e-mail the "E-reg.txt" file. If you do so, please do not mail the registration card. Each product serial number can be registered or upgraded to a specific new version only once. When our server receives your E-mail registration it will reply immediately to confirm the registration. @ENDNODE @NODE Utilities "Cloanto Personal Paint 7 - Utilities" @TOC Main @{B}Utilities@{UB} The "Utilities" drawer in Personal Paint 7 CD-ROM contains some useful support tools, which are described here. @{B}Install@{UB} This procedure uses the Amiga Installer software to selectively install program and data files to the hard disk. Please note that the manuals are only installed when the "Entire CD-ROM" option is selected. The instructions for automatic installation contained in the Personal Paint documentation do not apply to this CD-ROM edition. @{B}SetPPView@{UB} All pictures and animations on the CD-ROM are associated to a "Default Tool" named "PPView" which by default uses Personal Paint to view any artwork selected with a double-click. Some Amiga users may prefer to use a different viewer, such as MultiView or Viewtek. The SetPPView utility can be used to define a different viewer than Personal Paint for pictures, and another viewer for animations. From a technical point of view, the viewers are set by defining the "PPViewPic" and "PPViewAnim" Amiga environment variables. The variables may contain the name of the new viewer, followed by some optional parameters. PPView always executes the specified viewer passing the artwork file as a parameter. The position of the artwork file parameter can be determined by placing square brackets ("[]") with nothing between them in the definition string, just as in the AmigaDOS Alias command. These are examples of viewer definitions (defined manually from the Shell, rather than using SetPPView): SetEnv PPViewPic "MultiView SCREEN" SetEnv PPViewAnim "VT [] SC=MULTISCAN:Productivity" Certain slide show procedures launched by links in AmigaGuide documents and through various "ViewAll" icons on the CD-ROM need to interact directly with Personal Paint via Rexx, without using the PPView tool. Therefore, these procedures are not affected by SetPPView. By default, all artwork saved with Personal Paint uses PPView and any viewers associated to PPView. By changing (with the Workbench Information command) the default icons which are stored in "PPaint:PPaint_Icons", it is possible to directly set a different viewer as a default tool. @ENDNODE @NODE Developers "Cloanto Personal Paint 7 - Developer Information" @TOC Main @{B}Developer Information@{UB} The "Developers" drawer contains sections dedicated to software developers. "Personal_IO" contains documentation and source code (include files and working examples) on how to create input/output modules that can interact with Personal Paint and other Cloanto programs to support new file formats, scanners, etc. The "Screens" directory contains documentation on interaction and compatibility with screens and bitmaps used by Personal Paint. Developer information is also available on the Cloanto World Wide Web site (http://www.cloanto.com/amiga/). If you have additional questions, please contact Cloanto via E-mail: . @ENDNODE @NODE FontTutorials "Cloanto Personal Paint 7 - Font Tutorials" @TOC Main @{B}Font Tutorials@{UB} Personal Paint 7 includes features such as support for vector text, antialiased fonts, color fonts and animated fonts which were especially designed for desktop video applications, with a special focus on titling. Additionally, Cloanto publishes @{" The Kara Collection " LINK KaraCD} CD-ROM which has rapidly established itself as a "must have" tool for Amiga video professionals and hobbyists alike. The "FontTutorials" drawer is identical with a tutorial section on The Kara Collection. It contains animations explaining features of both Personal Paint and The Kara Collection (used alone or in combination). Step-by-step tutorials explaining how to achieve particular effects with Personal Paint are included. The tutorial animations come in different screen sizes and number of colors, for users of different systems (NTSC and PAL sizes, 16/32 and 256 colors). The animations can be viewed manually (by double-clicking on their icon) or automatically, using the "ViewAll" icons included for each format. The "ViewAll_Auto" icon shows all animations, selecting the best format automatically. @{" KaraCDIntro.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial KaraCDIntro.anim"} presents The Kara Collection @{" ColorFonts.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial ColorFonts.anim"} shows samples of the ColorFonts on that CD-ROM @{" AnimFonts.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial AnimFonts.anim"} shows all the AnimFonts on that CD-ROM @{" Plaquegrounds.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial Plaquegrounds.anim"} shows samples of the Plaquegrounds @{" Starfields.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial Starfields.anim"} shows various animated Starfield effects @{" AnimText.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial AnimText.anim"} shows how to create animated texts @{" AntiAliasText.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial AntiAliasText.anim"} shows how to anti-alias text with Personal Paint @{" SmoothShadow.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial SmoothShadow.anim"} shows how to create shadows with Personal Paint @{" NeonText.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial NeonText.anim"} shows a neon effect with Personal Paint @{" CType_AntiAlias.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial CType_AntiAlias.anim"} shows how to create an anti-aliased font @{" CType_Texture.anim " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/2/ShowTutorial CType_Texture.anim"} shows how to apply a texture over a font Click @{" here " SYSTEM "Execute PPaintCD:H/5/8/1/all_auto.bat"} to start a longer demonstration show which includes all of the above animations, plus more artwork from the Personal Paint 7 CD-ROM. If you wish the demonstration to loop automatically and unattended, select the Repeat and Automatic options in the initial requester. @ENDNODE @NODE Troubleshooting "Cloanto Personal Paint 7 - Troubleshooting" @TOC Main @{B}Troubleshooting@{UB} All Cloanto products have to undergo rigorous tests under a variety of configurations. This CD-ROM has been tested at more than 50 sites before publication. Here are some answers to common questions. @{I}Problem: @{UI}Some AmigaGuide links do not work. @{I}Problem: @{UI}Selecting Retrace in an AmigaGuide document does not work. @{I}Problem: @{UI}Some files cannot be accessed. @{I}Suggestion: @{UI}The majority of such reports are caused by problems of the CD-ROM filing system being used. We recommend that another filing system be tried, such as the excellent and freely distributable AmiCDROM (it is included in most Aminet and Fred Fish collections). AmiCDROM also solves certain problems specific to the original software of the CDTV, CD³² and A570 CD-ROM drive. In case of difficulties with AmiCDROM up to version 1.15, it is recommended to try a newer version of AmiCDROM itself (at least v. 2.@{I}x@{UI}, available under the new name "AmiCDFS"), or the CD-ROM filing system included from version 3.1 of the Amiga OS. Users of Asim CDFS prior to version 3.5 may want to contact Asimware Innovations Inc. for an upgrade to the latest version of the Asim CDFS. @{I}Problem: @{UI}ARexx programs on the CD-ROM do not run, and an error message such as "RexxMast: Unknown command" or "ARexx server not active" appears. @{I}Suggestion: @{UI}The system does not have ARexx, or the RexxMast software was not started. RexxMast is a program normally stored in the "System" drawer of the Workbench (System) disk. It is usually launched automatically from the Startup-Sequence, or when executing ARexx scripts with the "RX" command, but it can also be started manually by double-clicking on the RexxMast icon (or by clicking @{" here " SYSTEM "SYS:System/RexxMast"}). On older operating systems such as 1.3, ARexx must be installed separately. @{I}Problem: @{UI}When a documentation file on the CD-ROM is opened with a double-click, the corresponding manual appears and everything works fine, but if the file is opened using "drag and drop" with ToolManager and MultiView, only a page with AmigaDOS commands appears. @{I}Suggestion: @{UI}AmigaDOS command scripts are used on the CD-ROM to make sure that the AmigaGuide documents are loaded in the correct language and with the correct viewing software depending on the computer's configuration. If these scripts appear on the screen as a text page instead of being executed, it means that the system lacks the DataType which recognizes and executes AmigaDOS files instead of displaying them as text. Such a DataType (named "Script") is available from Cloanto. @{I}Problem: @{UI}After manual hard disk installation, a few links in certain manuals appear to be "broken". @{I}Suggestion: @{UI}The manuals of Personal Paint were designed to be used from the original CD-ROM, where all files are available at the same time. In order to preserve the complex hypertext cross-references which link together hundreds of different text and graphics files, it is necessary to install the entire CD-ROM. @{I}Problem: @{UI}Some items installed from the Personal Paint 7 CD-ROM to the hard disk do not work properly if the CD-ROM is in the drive while the system boots. @{I}Suggestion: @{UI}Under certain versions of the operating system, the presence of a specific storage volume interferes with an Assign command trying to assign or reassign the same name as the storage volume (e.g. "PPaintCD"). Remove the CD-ROM while the system boots. @{I}Problem: @{UI}During normal use, the CD-ROM was damaged. @{I}Suggestion: @{UI}We appreciate the fact that most users handle their CD-ROMs with great care, but we also want you to feel free to use Personal Paint 7 as often as you like. If you damage your CD-ROM during the first two years of normal use, you can send it back to us in a self-addressed envelope, and we will replace it at no cost to you (with a CD-ROM having the same version as the one returned to us). @{I}For more information: @{UI} @{" Technical Support " LINK Support} @ENDNODE @NODE Support "Cloanto Personal Paint 7 - Technical Support" @TOC Main @{B}Technical Support@{UB} Local Cloanto dealers and distributors are in most cases qualified to provide professional technical advice.

The Kara Collection includes all packages previously published by Kara Computer Graphics for the Amiga, plus many more, in an exclusive and professional edition reorganized and enhanced by Cloanto. This CD-ROM contains 80 ColorFonts (including effects like brick, glass, chrome, chisel, etc.), 5 AnimFonts (handwriting, rotating characters, static wipes, sparkles, etc.), hundreds of alternate color palettes, Starfields (moving stars seen from different perspectives), Plaquegrounds (backgrounds such as granite, marble, sand-stone, wood, etc.), and software for special effects in pictures, animations, titling and presentations. All items for solo or combined use. The Kara Collection also includes two software packages developed by Cloanto to manage bitmapped fonts: ColorType for color fonts and the Personal Fonts Maker for black and white fonts. Both have been acclaimed as the best in their respective fields. To make AnimFonts really easy and enjoyable to use, we created an ARexx program for Personal Paint, which renders any string of characters into animated text. As Kara says, "So long to the laborious task of placing individual letters...
