4-4 Downloading Pictures
Additional Download Methods
Besides using the PhotoPC 500 imaging software, there are
six additional methods for transferring images to the
computer. Read the descriptions below to decide which one
you may want to use.
NOTE
Some methods allow you to use the frame photo and high-quality
options. The high-quality option resizes your high-resolution photo
to 8.4”
×
6.3” or your standard resolution image to 4.2”
×
3.2,” but it
does not actually increase the resolution. The enlarged photo will
not look as good as the original, especially when printed. This mode
also slows down the transfer time and creates larger file. The frame
option adds a permanent frame to your image. This feature reduces
the size of your image. For information on selecting frames for the
frame photo option, see Chapter 5.
TWAIN Transfer
You can use any TWAIN-compliant application, such as
Adobe Photoshop or the PhotoPC 500 imaging software, to
transfer images to your computer without saving them in
albums. The images are opened in the work area and you
can save them as individual files, or add them to albums
later. (See page 4-5.)
Direct Hard Drive Transfer
You can use EPSON Photo! as a stand-alone utility
application to download your pictures quickly and directly
to the hard drive. The file names in this method are long, so
you’ll need to find your pictures by their thumbnails. If you
want an easier method of organizing your files, you should
use the PhotoPC 500 transfer method, described on page 4-1.
(See page 4-7 for instructions.)
Export Photo Transfer
You can use the EPSON Photo!. export photo transfer
feature to save the image in any of four file types as you
transfer it to the computer. This transfer also lets you add a
permanent frame to the image. (See page 4-11.)
