These help pages are divided into two sections:

Section I: Portfolio Basics
is for basic users who just want to access the databases to find and view images and their associated data (aka, meta-data).

Section II: Advanced Topics
is for advanced users who need to do things like add new images, create new catalogs, enter meta-date and/or create galleries, slideshows, Quicktime, etc.

Note: Whenever these pages refer to text within the program (i.e. menu titles, commands, dialog box choices, etc.), we will use this monospace typeface to help you distinguish the reference from the rest of the text.
