Image Archive Folders
Images saved to the Macintosh computer hard disk by clicking COPY TO FOLDER or MOVE TO FOLDER from within the Photoshop driver supplied by Kodak can be read only with the Photoshop driver. One archive file on the Macintosh computer hard disk is created for each image and for each sound file archived to the computer hard disk. In addition to image data, an archive file includes a thumbnail for its image, and all data from its “INFO” box.
Color and monochrome images in these Macintosh computer archive files are composed of uninterpolated data; they have not been “acquired” into Photoshop. This means they contain the 6 megabytes (MB) of data gener- ated from the array in the camera back and stored on the DCS 465 Camera Back PCMCIA Card. If you use the Photoshop driver to interpo- late a single color image by acquiring it into Photoshop, the size of the single image file when saved in Photoshop format will be approximately 18 MB. Each acquired monochrome image saved in Photoshop format is 6 megabytes.
IMPORTANT: Do not open image archive files (files that you create by copying or 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 or moved contain several sections — one section with a TIFF version of the thumbnail, and then another section with the 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 image data. For this reason, you should only open these files from within the driver using the CHANGE FOLDER button as described later in this chapter; this will ensure that you obtain the image data as well as the thumbnail.
