*** Your very first steps with the Cosima Gui***
================================================

Cosima is a stereo image processing software.
With common image processing software, you may at
first load an image, then process it and at last
you will store the result.

Cosima is a bit different: To use Cosima, you
should think at first about your processing task
and then set the Cosima parameters to the
adequate values. Finally you start the image
processing by clicking on the yellow Run-Button.

If you use Cosima for the first time, please
procede as follows:

1) Create two subdirectories \l\ and \r\ below
   your image path (called PathofImages).

2) Move your left images into the subdirectory
   \l\ and your right images into the
   subdirectory \r\. You may also load down the
   archive hummel.zip from the Cosima homepage
   and use the images from there.

3) Start the Cosima GUI and there the "Quick Start"
   (red Ferrari, the 6th button from the left).
   Set at first your image path (path, where the \l\
   and \r\ subdirectories are located) and then
   choose the other options. Start the image
   processing by clicking onto the Run!-button.

4) You get more options, if you from the menu
   "Parameters - Parameter Tabs".

5) For more help, please go to the menu:
