Importing PhotoCD files
If you have a PhotoCD disk, you can open the files on it individually or add the PhotoCD to the Clipart Gallery so you can preview the images on it.
To open a file on a PhotoCD disk
1. From the File menu, choose Open.
2. Browse to the \Photo_cd\Images folder on the CD.
3. Choose "Photo CD (*.pcd)" from the drop-down list.
4. Double-click the image you want to load. You can use the inlay in the PhotoCD case to find the image number.
5. In the dialog box, choose the resolution you want to load.
To add a PhotoCD disk to the Clipart Gallery
1. From the Utilities Menu, choose Clipart Gallery.
2. Click the Disk Clipart button.
3. Browse to the \Photo_cd\Images folder on the CD.
4. Click Add.
5. When the dialog box appears asking if you want to create an index, click the Create button. If this dialog box does not appear, there is already an index, you need to update it, see the tips below.
6. As the index cannot be written to the CD, you will be asked if you want to create the index in the temporary folder. Click the Create button.
Tips
To open a PhotoCD file, just double-click on it in the Clipart Gallery. A dialog box opens for you to choose which resolution you want to open.
If you place another PhotoCD in your CD drive, you need to update the gallery. See Updating a disk-based gallery.
