Get the pictures into the computer.

How you do this is up to you.  With today's technology there are several choices available to you including digital cameras, scanners and web or pc cameras.

The most flexible device is a digital camera, they are similar to 35 mm cameras and they are portable so you can use it for other things. Web or PC Cameras are easy to work with and usually come with a snap shot program to quickly take pictures.

The software program that comes your camera or the camera itself may have settings like resolution or quality and the image type or format which will determine how the pictures will be saved to your computer's hard drive.

The size of image files can be very large depending on these settings.  They can use up hard drive space very quickly so you should experiment with your camera to determine the best quality for the file size.

The recommended image type is JPG.  This is a common image format used on the world wide web.  It can save high quality images in fairly small files.

SunEase 2000 supports most popular image types including:

The width and height of your pictures doesn't really matter.  If you can change these settings, 320 x 240 are good settings.  When SunEase displays the picture it will be scaled to a common width and height, while maintaining the aspect ratio.  By doing this all of your pictures will appear the same size on the screen.

There is a sample picture in the SunEase\Pictures\ folder name cleo.jpg  The actual width and height is about 800 x 800, the file size is about 180 KB.  It was taken with a digital camera with a medium resolution.

• Close any open windows in SunEase
• Select File then Preferences
• Select the Client/Tanning tab
  • Make sure Show Pictures Automatically is checked
  • Make sure the Default image Type is correct
    (the default is JPG)
• Select the Directories tab
  • Make sure the Client Pictures Folder is correct
    (the default folder is \SunEase\Pictures\)

Transfer or save the pictures from your camera to the Client Pictures Folder.

Name the image files with the client number assigned by SunEase.  This number can be found in the upper left hand corner of the Tanning and Sales window.

As each client is located under Tanning and Sales, SunEase will display the picture -- if one is found.

For example, when client #100 is located, SunEase will look in the Client Pictures Folder for a file named 100.jpg, when client #101 is located, it will look for 101.jpg, etc.

When you select the Modify button on the Tanning and Sales window, you will see a field on the More Info tab with a camera button next to it.  This field can be used to tell SunEase to display a different picture file.

For example John Smith (client #200) brings in his own picture file (named johnsmith.bmp)

Copy the file to your hard drive, usually the Client Pictures Folder, on the More Info tab click camera button and locate the file johnsmith.bmp

The next time this client is located, SunEase will know to show the file johnsmith.bmp rather than 200.jpg
