Opening Pictures and Collections

You can open individual pictures in HotShots, or open a
collection and then open the picture from there. For
instructions on starting HotShots, see page 4-11.

TIP
The first time you use HotShots, you should calibrate your
monitor so your pictures look their best on screen. Click the Get
button, then select Open a Picture. Select the calibrat.bmp
(Windows) or calibrat.pct (Macintosh) file in the HotShots folder
and click Open. (Windows path: Program Files/PictureWorks/
HotShots; Macintosh: PictureWorks, HotShots folder.) You see a
grayscale strip numbered 0 through 10. Adjust your monitor’s
brightness and contrast until you can clearly see the 0 and 10;
then close the picture.
