We'll show you how to use it to make cool looking "picture cubes" from your digital photos. It's very easy; you just drag and drop each image, one at a time, to where you want it on the cube. The program automatically resizes and crops your images to fit the sides of the cube. It even lets you save an electronic version of your cube that you can easily e-mail to family and friends. These cubes can be used for countless things, such as: ● Gifts ● Displays ● Craft projects ● Ornaments PhotoCube uses a "photo friendly" file format. That means if you set your Kodak or other digital cameras for the ".jpg" (or "jpeg") format, you can use photos from them without doing anything special to them. So lets "get cubing!" Here's how-to-do-it! Continue Lesson... Return to Chapter Start... Return to Book Start... Return to DLC Main...

School Reports • Projects for School Imagine your teacher has asked you to do a report on a subject you're studying in class. You thought you would not only write it, but also add charts and pictures. & Home • Color Basics • Related Links Chapters in this book Chapter I Youth / Teens Maybe in the past you've done this by cutting pictures from a magazine and pasting them onto the pages of the report. Of course, you wrote that report by hand. Chapter II Home / Family Now you can do all that cutting and pasting, as well as the writing, on the computer. Chapter III Advanced Amateurs Begin the same way you begin any research project, with research! You can often use the same sources to find both the information and the images you're going to use. Chapter IV Business / Professionals Chapter V Teachers / Leaders But since you're going to use the computer for this project, consider electronic sources as well as books. For example, check out the encyclopedias available on-line, as well as CDs on the specific subject. There may also be Web sites about your subject. No doubt you'll find a ton of useful information, plus lots of interesting pictures. Then, following the directions for the computer software you use, you can copy the pictures you want from the CD (or download them from a web site) and paste them into the pages you write. Some software lets you manipulate the pictures. You can trim them, removing things you don't want, and change their size and shape so they fit well and look nice on the page. Continue Lesson...

Plagiarism That's called "plagiarism" is when you copy someone else's words or ideas without giving them credit. In your report, you must say where you get your information and ideas from, this is called footnoting. Then you have to rewrite the information, putting it in your own words. Chapters in this book Chapter I Youth / Teens Chapter II Home / Family Chapter III Advanced Amateurs Chapter IV Business / Professionals Pictures are usually copyrighted, which means you can't use them at all without permission from the artist or photographer. But many Web sites, encyclopedias on CD, and other CDs, do let you copy their pictures for a school report, if you say where they came from in your bibliography. There's another important source of pictures, and you can use these whenever you want with no problem: pictures you take yourself! Chapter V Teachers / Leaders A digital camera enables you to download the pictures directly from the camera into the computer. Then you paste them into your report, and manipulate them, just like pictures from a CD. These options are available on Picture CD, Picture Disk, or PhotoNet online. Think about your subject, and you'll find ideas about where to take good pictures. Are you writing about something scientific? Try the local science or natural history museum or planetarium. They may have exciting displays on your topic. Continue Lesson... Return to Chapter Start... Return to Book Start... Return to DLC Main...

First, download a copy of Paper PhotoCube. You can do it by clicking here: ppc11.zip (it's 5.59 MB and may take up to 30 min. to download , but it's well worth it). This is only a demo version that gives you three trial cubes. If you like it and want a full copy, go to: http://www.trivista.com & Home • Color Basics • Related Links Chapters in this book Chapter I Youth / Teens Chapter II Home / Family Chapter III Advanced Amateurs Chapter IV Business / Professionals Chapter V Teachers / Leaders 2. Next, create a directory on your hard drive called "cube images." Then, copy the images you want on your cube from your camera or other digital source to this directory. A cube has 6 sides, but with the demo version of PhotoCube you can add only 5 of your own images, because one side has a "demo image." With a full version, you can fill all 6 sides of the cube with your own images. 3. After you've copied your images and installed the software, open it and click FREE TRIAL. The program will open and start loading sample images included with it. Click the 'BROWSE" button and go to your "cube images" directory. Select the five images you want to use and click O.K. The program will then start loading those images so you will be able to place them in the cube. Continue Lesson... Return to Chapter Start... Return to Book Start... Return to DLC Main...

If you want to rotate an image, go to the EDIT menu and choose the desired rotation, OR choose EDIT SELECTION under the EDIT menu to change the crop on your image. Chapter II Home / Family 5. Now you do either or both of the following. • Projects for School & Home • Color Basics • Related Links Chapters in this book Chapter III Advanced Amateurs Chapter IV Business / Professionals A.
