Kai's Photo Soap 2
Kai's Photo Soap 2 is a new genre of graphics application, designed to meet the needs of those in the process of building a library of digital images. With the proliferation of digital photo cameras comes the ability to shoot pictures indiscriminately, so the release of this product couldn't come at a better time. For the digital film buff, there's the initial investment in the camera, but the pictures are free. As long as you have space on your computer's hard drive, you can save an almost unlimited number of photos. The inherent problem with this kind of freedom is the sheer volume of pictures that can quickly accumulate, the issue that Photo Soap addresses.
Photo Soap is several tools combined: a catalog builder, a retoucher, a compositing application, and an album maker
With the organizing tools, one can sort and view a collection of photos by date, size, content, name, and color. A favorite feature is the "lightbox," which lets you view your photos as if they are traditional mounted slides on a light box. The retouching tools are basic but useful, and the compositing and layering abilities are fun for building collages. The album maker is designed to make your photos into digital photo albums that you can share with others. For those without a computer who want to view your albums, Photo Soap can print album pages with headers, text, and captions.
Like all of Kai's tools, Photo Soap has a nonstandard interface, and if you're used to a conventional Mac or Windows toolbar, icon set, window, or menu system, this interface is a little hard to get used to. The interface is well planned though, and whatever the quick reference card doesn't cover can be found in the online manual. Photo Soap is a handy tool, and if your hard drive is quickly filling up with folders full of JPG images from that handy digital camera, Soap is a great companion to help get organized.
Turn those "marginal" photos into prize winners with Kai's Photo Soap 2. It's the revolutionary new program that gives you all the power of professional retouching in a sleek, intuitive package anyone can use.

-Red-eye, scratches, fading; even remove date-stamps.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
