Clari-Fi
Clari-Fi creates large-screen simulations of e-commerce images. These give an indication of the details that can be discerned from those images when they are displayed at thumbnail size on a mobile phone.
How to use
In order to use this tool, you must first enable PowerPoint macros. If you haven’t done so already, please follow the instructions at clarifi.inclusivedesigntoolkit.com/download
Opening this presentation adds a tab labelled ‘Clari-Fi’ to your ribbon. This tab contains a new button labelled ‘Insert images and apply blurring simulation’. This tab only exists while you are working with this presentation.
This version processes .jpg, .png, and .tif image files. To create images with blurring simulations, first click on the button to insert the images, then choose any number of image files. Image files must have at least 400 pixels on the longest side.
When prompted, enter the size at which the images will appear within the retailer store on a mobile device (or accept the default value of 16 mm x 16 mm).
New slides will automatically be created for all of the images that you selected, displaying mobile simulated versions of these images. If you select multiple images, they are shown 2 per slide.
Licensing notes
When you first click on the button to insert the images, you will be prompted to enter a licence key.
If you do not enter a licence key, then the simulated images will be watermarked with ‘DEMO’.
If a licence key has been entered, simulations are produced without any watermarking. This licence key is stored on the computer that you are using at the time.
Images produced by this tool may be copied and distributed without restriction.
You may save and distribute this PowerPoint file without restriction. If you send this file to someone that does not have a valid licence key, any new simulations created by the recipient will be watermarked with ‘DEMO’. However, simulations that have already been produced are unaffected.
You may not edit the Visual Basic code within this tool. You may not copy the Visual Basic code or derive any other software from it.
