Creating Regions
There are two ways to create regions: from the cropped overview, or by opening a
TIFF file from disk.
1. Creating a region from a TIFF file
To create a region from a TIFF file on your hard drive, choose Open from the file
menu and choose the desired TIFF file. The file will open into a new region win-
dow.
2. Creating a region from the Overview
Once you have cropped the desired portion in the Overview, double click the
selected area to assign it to a region. You can also click on the Add Region but-
ton (
) from the Queue Manager.
Images and Memory
The amount of memory (RAM) required for a region varies depending on the
Overview resolution (selected in the Preferences window) and the size of the
region. You can create as many regions as the amount of RAM assigned to the
PowerColor application allows. (The minimum and default application RAM is
32 MB, 64 MB of RAM is recommended.) If you exceed the amount of memory
allocated to the application, the following warning dialog appears:
If this dialog box appears, you can:
1. Quit the application and assign more RAM to PowerColor, (Macintosh only)
2. Final scan the regions you have already created, and/or
3. Delete unneeded regions. For more information on final scanning or deleting
regions, see Chapter 7.
