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
“I
NFO
” 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 C

button as described later
in this chapter; this will ensure that you obtain the image data as well as the
thumbnail.
