How to use the workshop CD-ROM

The workshop CD-ROM is the one labeled "Improve your Image (Digital Image)".  It is used for three purposes.

A. Installing software.  Some activities in the workshop describe the installation of software, contained in the "Software installers" folders. Once the software is installed on your computer, you do not need to keep the CD-ROM in your computer in order to use the software on your own images.  This software can be used to view and edit any pictures contained anywhere on your computer, not just the ones on this CD-ROM.

B. Images for the workshop activities.  These images are sample pictures used only in the workshop practice tasks and other activities.  You can open these images in any image editor.  To acess these pictures, you must have the CD-ROM in the computer's CD drive, or you can copy those folders over to your hard disk (so you won't have to locate the CD-ROM every time you want to practice on those images).

C. Handouts, tutorials, and Web links.  All of the handouts in the course are on this CD-ROM. To access these materials:

1. Insert the Workshop CD-ROM into your computer's CD drive, label side up.

2. Open (double-click or right-click and select Open) "My Computer".  Open the CD-ROM icon.  The handouts are shown as word processor icons.  DOuble-click them to open.

3. The ReadMe file on this disc is a table of contents of the CD-ROM, with links to all the additional materials.  Click on the links to access the materials.
