Viewing the contents of a Photo CD
When you double-click a Photo CD file, it is opened by the TeachText or
SimpleText program, unless you select another program to open Photo CD
images. See “Setting Preferences for How Photo CD Images are Displayed”
later in this chapter.
IMPORTANT
If you plan to use TeachText or SimpleText to view Photo CD
images or other large files, you should use the program’s Info window to
assign it more memory. For instructions on assigning memory to a program,
refer to the “Memory” topic area of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide
(h) menu.
To view images on a Photo CD:
1 Insert a Photo CD in the CD-ROM player’s tray, with the disc label facing up.
2Close the tray.
The first time you insert a particular Photo CD, a message appears telling you
the system is creating icons. These icons are tiny representations of the photo
CD’s contents. Click Stop if you want to use generic document icons instead.
After a few moments, an icon for the Photo CD appears on the desktop. The
disc name has the letters “PCD” and an identifying number supplied by the
photofinisher. You cannot change the name of the disc.
By the way: If you choose generic document icons and later decide you want
Photo CD icons instead, you can create them by pressing x-Option as you
insert the Photo CD. Continue holding down the keys until the disc icon
appears.
