Installation

Insert the Funhouse CD into your CD-ROM drive. The installer should start
automatically.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Take note as to
where the program is installing, and where it can be found in the Start menu.

Note: If the installer does not start automatically, you will need to run it manually:

1. Click Start>Run.
2. In the Run dialog, type “X:setup.exe”. (“X” is the letter associated with your

CD-ROM drive. This letter will vary from system to system.)

3. Click Okay.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

Starting the Program

1. Click Start.
2. Select Programs>ArcSoft Funhouse>Funhouse.

Note: Directories may vary from version to version. Monitor the installation process to verify
the location in the Start menu. Also, you may start the program by double-clicking the
desktop icon (if available).

Creating a Funhouse Image

The creation procedure is extremely simple. There are five easy steps. Each step is listed
vertically along the left side of the program desktop:

ArcSoft Funhouse Quick Start Guide

Overview

ArcSoft Funhouse

allows you to create unique, fun images by combining two or more

photos together — put your face on famous monuments, magazine covers, celebrity
bodies, animation cells, or any other type of picture. Swap heads with family members,
or put a friend’s face on the family dog.

The program comes with several ready-to-use templates. These templates are organized
into unique categories. Each template has one or more “masks”—areas that are cut out
so that you can insert your own images. Typically, if there is a person involved, the mask
will cover the face of that person so that it can be replaced with a face from one of your
pictures. In addition to having these built-in templates, you can also create your own
using your personal collection of digital images.
