Using the Arcsoft Photo Suite Software 

Once you have saved your pictures onto your PC via the ix-10 Utility 
software, you can use the bundled software programs to further enjoy 
your digital snaps.  Manuals for these programs can be found on the ix-
10 software CD.  They can be accessed via Adobe Acrobat Reader.  If 
you do not have this program already on your computer, it can be 
downloaded free of charge from 

www.adobe.com

.  

PhotoStudio® is a powerful, full-featured, easy-to-use 
photo editing application. It provides a huge collection of 
photo editing and retouching tools, plus a large assortment 
of enhancements and special effects with unlimited levels 
of modification.  

PhotoBase® is an excellent multimedia organiser that lets 
you store manage and access important image, audio and 
video files.  Mastering PhotoBase is easy!  Simply create 
albums of your files and enter information into 
customizable information fields.  Then choose from the 
wide variety of activities. 

PhotoMontage™ is a unique entertainment program that 
enables you to turn a regular photo into a "montage" -- 
creating a single image out of thousands of micro-images. 
You can decorate your montages with grids and borders, 
and add captions and signatures, then print them on a color 
inkjet or laser printer.  

PhotoFantasy™ is an image entertainment program that 
lets you bring your fantasies to life by combining personal 
photos with a wide variety of background images. You can 
also create your own fantasy templates, edit your photos 
before "fantasizing" them, and add text to your creations!  

PhotoPrinter™ is an easy-to-use-printing program that 
enables you to lay out and print your images in multiple 
sizes on a single sheet of paper. Offering a wide selection of 
image editing tools and printing templates, the program also 
allows you to add frames and borders to your images.  

Further information on these programs can be found at
