1)Double click the installer file from the download and installation will begin. During installation, the installer will check your computer for the ADOBE PHOTOSHOP; ADOBE PHOTOSHOP LE and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS applications. You must have at least one of these applications on your MACINTOSH for the RFS 3600 Acquire Module installer to complete its installation.

2)If you have more than one version of Adobe Systems software (ADOBE PHOTOSHOP, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP LE or PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS) on your MACINTOSH, the installer will located all instances of Import/Export folders and prompt you for the location to place the RFS 3600 module. Select the Import/Export folder of the Adobe software you expect to use most frequently and a new plug-in "Kodak RFS 3600" will be put inside the that folder. If you want to use the RFS 3600 software with more than one Adobe software package, make a copy of the RFS 3600 plug-in and place it in the additional Import/Export folders.

3)Some non-English versions of ADOBE PHOTOSHOP software do not name these plug-in folders Import/Export. We suggest you rename the folders for the software installation, and afterwards change their names back.

4)After the software installation is completed, you MUST "Restart" your MACINTOSH as directed by the installer.

5)Follow the monitor setup steps in 4) above.

To ensure that the prescan image in the RFS 3600 software matches the final scan which is transferred into ADOBE PHOTOSHOP, please take the following steps: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 5.0 or 5.5 – navigate to the File>Color Settings>RGB Setup menu. Make sure that the "Display Using Monitor Compensation" box is not checked and click the OK button. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 – navigate to the Edit>Color Settings menu. In the Settings dropdown listing, select Color Management Off. Performing these setups ensures that ADOBE PHOTOSHOP does not apply an additional profile to the image after it has been scanned.
