Color Pilot 4.04
Copyright (C) 1996-2000 Invention Office RG

1. THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM
   Color Pilot is designed for making color corrections of images
originating from a digital camera or scanner in an easy and quick
way.
   The principle of the program operation is based on using reference
colors. The sense of this approach can be expressed by the following:
If you do not like the color, tell to the program what it should be.
We believe this approach is natural and can be adopted by both
a professional and a novice in color correction.
   An image can be improved by simply selecting a color to be changed,
and then selecting a reference color (from the same or a different
image) to correct it. Reference color choice collections can be saved
for easy retrieval and later use, also allowing for color matching
of multiple image sets. The Panorama function allows you to stitch
your images containing, e.g., various parts of some landscape. 
The software is easily mastered, and includes built-in examples.

2. WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 4.04

   repeated usage;
