JURASSIC PARK POSTER KIT File Formats- There are aaa, a three file formats: BBM, Pict2, | [em once owe a and Tiff. Selecting BBM Se allows you to edit your file with Street Fighter only. Pict2 allows you to edit your file with different paint and page layout programs. Tiff (Tag Image File Format) allows you to edit your files using most scanner manufacturers and page layout programs. Judi, & Ninke Scanning- The Serpentine Option causes the dither routines to scan in a zig-zag motion as opposed to the right to left motion. This affects the appearance of dithering. Filters- If you want to save a color design to a B & W Pict file, you have to dither it so the color transforms into B & W patterns. Use the filter options to introduce the desired dithering effects to your design. Click on the "Dither Output"' check box in the Print Menu. Select a filter from the "Filters" pop-up menu. The filters are diffusion methods, named after the mathematicians who invented them, that diffuse color into B & W patterns. Floyd-Steinberg, the default filter, produces the best overall quality. If the dithered output is too light or too dark, you can adjust the brightness of the filter to improve the quality. There is also a "Coloring Book" filter (only works on color art) which removes all color from the document except black. This produces art that can be colored by hand. When done, click on OK. Helpful Hint: When printing a dithered picture to a laser printer, turn off the "Graphics Smoothing" option in the Page Setup Dialog Box. This prevents the printer from distorting the dithered patterns in the output. "Larger Print Area” and "Precision Bitmap Alignment” found in the Options section of the Page Setup Dialog Box should be turned on to allow the full page to be printed.

Note: It is advantageous to print any document that will be lager than one sheet of Paper on an ImageWriter as opposed to the Laser Writer. The Laser Writer prints individual pages and leaves a bowler around your design, so that when you piece together the pages you will have to trim them.

Graphics and text can be imported into Street Fighter™ via the Macintosh Clipboard or Scrapbook. Simply paste it into your document. When the graphic is pasted in, it can be scaled, squeezed, squashed, or stamped! Clear- Unlike Cut, the Clear command removes the selected object or text without placing it on the clipboard. Anything that's “cleared” is gone forever. It's a menu version of the Delete Key. Duplicate- The Duplicate command is one of the most useful tools for creating designs. Duplicate creates a i copy of the selected object and offsets it slightly to make it easier to separate from the original. Anything that # can be selected can be duplicated. The latest copy of the object is automatically the one selected. Pressing the Option Key while dragging the object has the same effect. (Shortcut, 98D) Background Layer- When you choose Background Layer, objects not on that layer are cleared away so you can manipulate the background pattern. Objects placed on the background layer (clip art and text) can't be altered while you're working in the foreground. To return to the foreground, select Foreground Layer (Shortcut, 9€B) from the Edit Menu. Remove- Objects that can't be selected would be difficult to remove, if no special allowance were made. Select Remove to delete patterns, shapes, and background pictures--items that are otherwise difficult or impossible to get rid of.

After drawing: This box determines whether the tool you're working with (line, star, oval, etc.) remains selected or becomes the arrow pointer when you release the Mouse Button. If you need to manipulate each object after pasting or creating it, you might find it convenient to have the Arrow Tool selected for you automatically. If you're creating a number of objects or making objects out of separate pieces, you'll probably find it more convenient to have the tool remain selected. Remove all shapes will delete: This box lets you choose whether you want the Remove All Shapes command to wipe out everything or only the shapes on the current layer. ND JURASS/C PARK POSTER KIT Clip art prefs: If you alter the dimensions of a piece of clip art, you can keep the alteration (squeeze, stretch, etc.) while paging through the rest of the clip art category. Draw new shapes: This box lets you choose the default setting for the object’s opacity property. You can choose to have the new object transparent or you can choose the reverse. Drag a shape: Multiple shapes drag quicker as an outline, because dragging an outline uses up less computing power. However, the outline is a box surrounding the objects and not the actual shape. If you need to judge the effect of your dragging, then you have to pause a moment with the object clicked on to allow time for the objects to materialize.

You'll be warned before this happens. rh The Arrow is used to point to objects for a variety of reasons: Selecting- Use the Arrow Tool to point to an object (text, clip art, or shapes). Clicking selects that object for whatever action you take next. The Arrow also can select a group of objects. Point to a place above and to the left of the objects you wish to select. Then drag downward and diagonally so the dotted rectangle surrounds the objects. When you release the Mouse Button, gray handles appear around each object indicating that all of the objects in the group have been selected. A ''group select" lets you perform an action on many different objects at the same time. This feature is ideal for saving created combinations of clip art and text as a single piece of clip art in your scrapbook, moving as a group, or performing edit functions and transform functions as a group. Click away from the group and the items respond individually.

The same method is used to reshape text boxes. Note that when you drag a text box, the type in the box doesn’t change size; the box simply changes its shape. Note: "Grouped" objects can't be dragged to resize; however, you can use features offered under the Transform menu. Moving- To move a selected object, point to it and drag.
