Capture Workflow

Occasional Verification

To assure the highest image quality, evaluate test images at each location

 

and at the various illuminance conditions. Also use the Image LCD regularly

 

to verify that images are captured and stored correctly.

 

You may want your customer to review images while still on location. View

 

images using one of the following:

 

• Image LCD using one of several Image modes

 

• Connected video monitor. (The Image LCD is disabled when this is in

 

use.)

 

• Remove the memory card from the camera and plug it into a laptop

 

computer. View the images using KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Photo

 

Desk software.

Transferring Images

When the photo session is complete, insert the memory card in a card

 

reader connected to your computer. You can then open, edit, transfer, copy,

 

and save images using the included software, or you can send them to a

 

lab.

 

• Create folders on the computer hard drive for storing images. Use

 

meaningful names to help you locate the images.

 

• Backup your original images on a CD or Zip disk.

Editing Images

If you save images as JPEG on your camera, you can open and edit them in

 

any image editing application.

 

Two editing applications are included with your camera. These applications

 

allow you to do enhanced DCS-specific image editing. Refer to each

 

application’s associated Help.

 

KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Photo Desk—Allows you to open Raw

 

(.dcr) or JPEG (.jpg) files, perform DCS-specific image edits, then save the

 

images in a variety of formats.

 

KODAK PROFESSIONAL Extended Range Imaging File Format

 

Module—Allows you to open ERI JPEG files. It reconstructs extended

 

dynamic range/color gamut images and displays a preview. You can

 

perform a limited set of DCS-specific image edits, then acquire the images

 

into ADOBE PHOTOSHOP or ADOBE PHOTOSHOP Elements.
