Photo Stock Book on CD-ROM

Berkeley, CA--Desktop publishers and graphic designers are always looking
for inexpensive, quality photographs to use in their publications. But
although thousands of photographs are now available in CD format from
numerous vendors, finding just the right photo to meet a particular design
requirement can be difficult. With Photos on CD: The Ultimate Search Tool
for Finding Just the Right Photo on CD-ROM, designers now have a powerful
new way to locate photographs. The product provides thumbnails of 15.000
high-resolution images from more than a dozen vendors, conveniently
indexed by topic in an Aldus Fetch image database.

Finding images is easy. You start by entering a topic keyword, and Photos
on CD responds by displaying thumbnails of all the images that match the
keyword. Once you select the image or images you want and double-click on
the CD name, Photos on CD displays all the other images contained on that
CD and displays the phone and fax numbers of the vendor. Photos on CD
includes thousands of stock photographs, photographic textures,
backgrounds, patterns, photomontages, and silhouetted photographs of
individual objects or people. Each image is tagged with multiple keywords
and information about resolution, file type, the CD it's found on, and the
vendor supplying the CD.

Participating vendors include Digital Stock. Digital Zone, Digital Wisdom,
Shardonnay Audio-Visual, Clement Mok (CMCD), Form and Function, Pixar,
D'Pix, Digital Impact, and more than a dozen others.

The producer, Open House, a Seattle-based company, has produced numerous
books for Peachpit Press, including: The QuarkXPress Book, QuarkXPress
Tips and Tricks, Desktop Publisher's Survival Kit, Real World FreeHand,
Real World Scanning and Halftones, and Help! The Art of Computer Technical
Support.
