CrystalMaker ships with a printed Setup Guide that is designed to provide a quick orientation to the program. But we also provide far more detailed documentation, designed to be easy-to-access whenever you're using the program...

Check out CrystalMaker's Help menu, where you'll find detailed help resources including:

• CrystalMaker User's Guide
• Online Help
• Setup Guide
• Quick Tour Guide (Mac)
• Web links

CrystalMaker User's Guide

This is the definitive reference to CrystalMaker: a 170-page book, profusely illustrated, and including a handy tutorial to take you through the program basics.

Because our software is ever evolving, this full User's Guide needs to be regularly updated - and for that reason it is no longer available in a printed edition. Instead, you get a full-colour edition, supplied as a searchable Adobe PDF document. Even better, the document is readily accessible, directly from CrystalMaker's Help menu:

Help > CrystalMaker User's Guide

To get the latest edition of the User's Guide, make sure you've upgraded or updated to the latest version of CrystalMaker - we always ship the most up-to-date guide with the program.

If you're not using an up-to-date version of CrystalMaker, but still want to browse the latest User's Guide, you can download it, and other product documentation, from our documentation page.

CrystalMaker Help

The online help (also - unsurprisingly - available from the program's Help menu), provides a succinct guide to the program, its interface, general operation, and file formats. Check it out at:

Help > CrystalMaker Help

Quick Tour

Mac users can take advantage of a special "Quick Tour" PDF document. This takes you through the new interface, and includes illustrated tutorials for generating animations and movies.
