7-20 Accessing Images from a Mac

You can use Adobe Photoshop to create monochrome images from color

images taken with a color camera back. For a full explanation refer to

chapter 10.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS when Using the DCS

Do not open image archive files (files that you create by copying/

moving images to the Macintosh hard disk) with Photoshop or other

image software and then resave the data with the same filename. The

image files you copied/moved contain several parts — one section

with a TIFF version of the thumbnail, and then another section with

the full image data. When you open the file with Photoshop, only the

TIFF thumbnail is opened, and if saved, only the thumbnail is saved

— not the full image data. For this reason, you should only open these

files from within the driver image window using the CHANGE FOLDER

button as described just above; this will ensure that you obtain the

image data as well as the thumbnail.

Do not disconnect the DCS 465 Camera Back from the computer

while the computer is on.

When you copy or move images from a PCMCIA card to your hard

disk with the COPY TO FOLDER or MOVE TO FOLDER commands, the

calibration (CAL) file(s) associated with the camera back(s) used to

take the selected images is also copied to the folder with the images.

The calibration file(s) are needed subsequently to display and/or

acquire the images. For that reason it is very important that you do not

delete any CAL files you find in folders with your images. The calibra-

tion filename is your camera back serial number followed by a “.cal”

suffix. For example, if the serial number of your camera is 465-1006,

the calibration filename would be 465-1006.cal.
