Technical Notes

The following issues regarding QuiltAlbum should be noted:


QuickTime Installation on PC Windows (including XP, Vista, and 7):

Certain QuiltAlbum functions depend on Apple Corporation's QuickTime being installed. QuickTime is available for both PC's and MACs. Whereas this now comes standard on many PCcomputers (and all MAC computers), it may not be installed on some PC computers. When launched on a PC, QuiltAlbum will detect if QuickTime is not installed and alert the user to various options, including downloading and installing QuickTime.

Without QuickTime installed the following functions will not operate:

  • Downsizing: Large quilt images imported into QuiltAlbum are normally downsized to a more convenient size to avoid unnecessary growth in the size of QuiltAlbum. without QuickTime this functions is disabled, putting the burden on users to downsize their images prior to importing them into QuiltAlbum.

  • Rotation: QuiltAlbum porvides the capability to rotate images after they are imported into QuiltAlbum. Although users may wish to do this for cosmetic reasons, the main reason is that occasionally some images imported directly from digital cameras are automatically rotated 90 degrees. If Rotation is disabled in QuiltAlbum, the user can avoid this problem opening and saving the image in another image processing program and re-saving it before importing it into QuiltAlbum.

  • Export Images: The function that allows for the exporting of images will not operate without QuickTime being installed.

Quicktime can be downloaded form the Apple website.

Special Note for Mac Users of Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard):

With Rotation and Downsizing enabled (see above)some quilt images may very occasionally be slightly degraded when imported into QuiltAlbum operating on Macs running OSX10.6 (Snow Leopard). If this becomes a problem, Rotating and Downsizing can be turned off by setting the Rotation/Downsizing option to "No" in Select Personal Preferences in the Go To menu. This will also affect Export Images (see above).
