Welcome to PhotoEnhancer Plus. Please read this document for up-to-date information about your new software. Changes for 2.1.1 This release corrects an incompatibility on 68K machines with 2.0 and later versions of the Apple Color Sync software, which would cause a crash during save operations. Desktop Printing PhotoEnhancer does not currently support the Desktop Printer functionality from the Finder. To print using PhotoEnhancer: launch PhotoEnhancer, open your image, and choose PrintÉ or SmartPrintÉ from the File menu. SmartPrint will give you the option to fine tune the output quality for your particular printer and paper by letting you preview a set of sample prints of the image. Images saved as 256 Colors When using images saved in 256 System or Custom colors, PhotoEnhancer Plus automatically converts these image to Millons of Colors (24-bit) as they are opened. This is done to allow the images to be edited properly. When saving these images again, the Color Depth option in the Save and Save As dialog box will default to Millions of Colors. Choose a color depth from the dialog box to save images back to 256 System or Custom colors. TIFF and JPEG Limitations While you are able to switch these file formats on screen to any color depth, you may not be able to save these formats in your selected color depth. TIFF allows Millions, 256 color, 256 greyscale,16 greyscale and black and white. JPEG allows Millions of Colors and 256 greyscale. Using System 7.1 Using System 7.1 software may cause problems with digital cameras. These include problems connecting with the camera and distorted or smeared images retrieved from the camera. If you experience these problems please install System Software Update 3.0 for System 7.1 (available from Apple) or System 7.5 (available from Apple or many retail/mail-order stores such as MacWarehouse). Display Performance PhotoEnhancer uses a special disk caching technique to store images on disk as memory gets low. This allows you to work with lots of images and large images at the same time when under normal circumstances they may not actually fit into memory. However, this may slow down screen redraws. You can increase the display performance by increasing the memory allocated to PhotoEnhancer. To do this, first quit PhotoEnhancer and go to the Finder. Click once on the PhotoEnhancer application icon to select it. Choose Get Info from the File menu, and type in a higher number for the Preferred Memory size. Depending on the amount of available RAM you have on your computer, increasing the memory size of PhotoEnhancer may restrict the number of other applications you can run at the same time. Connecting to the Camera Other applications and system extensions you have installed on your computer may interfere with communication if your camera is connected to the Modem port. For example, many fax software extensions acquire the modem port at startup time and may interfere with your camera. If you experience this, be sure that no other applications or system extensions are using that port. If you connect the camera to the Printer port, be sure that AppleTalk is turned off in the Chooser to ensure proper communication. On a PowerPC Macintosh with System 7.5 you should install System 7.5 Update 1.0, which fixes some PowerPC serial port problems. If you experience problems with blurred, smeared, or corrupted camera images try turning off AppleTalk in the Chooser. This is a rare problem that occurs on machines connected to a very busy AppleTalk network. In such cases AppleTalk network traffic takes precedence over serial communications and may interfere with camera operations. Connecting to the Camera on PowerBook Models When using PowerBook models, such as the 160 or 180, connect your camera to the Modem port to ensue proper communication. If your PowerBook has an internal modem and you connect your camera to the PowerBook's Modem port, be sure that the modem control panel setting for emulating the Modem port is turned off. ###
