Working with TIFF Custom Files on your Computer
If you don’t process images on your camera, you need to use one of the following software
applications to work with the TIFF Custom files. (The TIFF Custom file format is
proprietary to KODAK.)
File Format Module (New product)
✔
This software application allows you to open high resolution TIFF Custom images
directly into Adobe Photoshop.
DCS Acquire Module or DCS TWAIN Data Source
✔
These are full-featured image editing and acquire software applications.
If the DCS Host Software CD (included with your camera) includes the DCS Acquire
Module and DCS TWAIN Data Source version 5.8 or later, you are given the option of
inserting the File Format Module. If the CD includes a version prior to 5.8, the DCS File
Format Module is not included. To download the DCS File Format Module, visit the
Kodak Web site (www.kodak.com).
The DCS Acquire Module and DCS TWAIN Data Source allow you to make
enhancements specific to images from your camera, and generally provide the best image
quality. When such enhancements are not necessary, the DCS File Format Module
provides a fast way to open images in Adobe Photoshop where you can perform other
enhancements, if needed.
☛
If you attempt to open TIFF Custom files in Adobe Photoshop without using the
DCS File Format Module, the DCS Acquire Module, or DCS TWAIN Data Source,
only the thumbnail version is available, with a less than optimal image resolution.
