About the CD-ROMS

The individual trend book pages are saved in electronic format on two CD-ROMS both for PC and MAC. We provide three different file formats - Adobe Illustrator version 10 (ai), CorelDraw version 7 (cdr) and Photoshop (jpg) - which can be opened in most drawing/photo editing software packages.

If you are a Macromedia Freehand MX, Deneba Canvas 9+ or Apple Mac you may find the files on the CDs will not open on your system. If you experience problems please contact your book agent or our technical support service and request a DVD. It contains Adobe Illustrator version 7 (eps) files which will open in these packages and provides an alternative media type for Mac users.

Adobe Illustrator version 10 (ai) and CorelDraw version 7 (cdr)

These are vector files which can be opened or imported into a wide variety of drawing packages. Once opened the garment and accessory CADs, patterns and graphics can be restyled and/or recoloured to suit you own requirements, using the software tools.

Adobe Photoshop (jpg)

These files can be opened in by most image handling/photo editing programs, Photoshop and PhotoPaint being the most commonly used. These are bitmap images which consist of a matrix of individual dots (or pixels) each with their own colour. They are equivalent to an electronic photocopy and not as flexible as the vector based alternatives.
