HOW TO VIEW IMAGE HELP

 

A)  How do I compress or zip a file within Windows XP?

1) To create a .zip file, first select all of the files you want to add. Then, right-click the files, select "Send To" and "Compressed (zipped) Folder".

2)  This will create a .zip file in the same directory.

3)  You should submit the .zip file to the Create Playing Cards server. The name of the .zip file doesn't matter when submitting it.

C)  How do I view my images on XP?

The easiest way is to use your image viewer, but many folks do not have one so here is a way to look at the images on line.

OPTION 1

1)  Open Windows Explorer by holding the Windows Key and pushing the letter E key or Right click on the Start Button and Choose Explore from the menu. The Windows Explorer will open. It is divided into two window panes. On the left you should see drives and folders. On the right, you will see the contents of the drives and folders.

2)  Find and click on the file where you placed your unzip file.

3)  Once you are looking at the folder with the images, click the "view" button on the top and choose either "Thumbnails" or "Filmstrip".

4)  To print a file, right click on top of the image and choose "print."

OPTION 2

1)  Follow options 1 and 2 above. 

2)  Double click on the image and it will open up in your "default" image software.

You can also download a free program like Picasso from Google, but the easiest way is to just use what is on your computer.
