designed to be a very simple and flexible mechanism to allow you to
display any number of your favorite
photographs, elegantly blending one image into another every fifteen
seconds or so.

Installation Instructions
You won't have to shrink or enlarge your favorite photographs to your
current screen settings. Elegance
will do that for you. However,
we do recommend, if you have the option available, to create your images
at 1024 x 768, in landscape mode. Elegance
uses
QCPhoto's
proprietary image reduction and enlargement algorithms to fit your
images to your screen size. The result is that you will not be able to
tell the difference between the original and the displayed image.
For your convenience, in order to get you started using your
Elegance screensaver and to tweak
your imagination a bit, we've
created several sets of images for you to download. The image sets are
zipped self-extracting files. You may install them anywhere on your
machine that you wish, but they are primed to install at the C:\ root:
Hubble Images
(2 MB, 26 images) A variety of images were created
by the Space Science Telescope Institute to be distributed as
wallpapers. When combined into a single image folder, they create a
screen saver set that certainly engenders a sense of awe.

Reader's Digest Pictures
(8.2 MB, 36 images) Very nice landscape images of
the United States, Canada and the UK. Some images contain a small logo
in the bottom right corner of the image, but the quality of the
photographs overwhelms that bit of advertising.
