About Digital Camera TWAIN Help

This help system contains all the information on how to use the Digital Camera TWAIN software to view, select, manipulate, and import images into your TWAIN-compliant graphics application.

•	For information about any topic, use the Help Contents tab.

•	To locate a term or keyword, click the Index tab, scroll through the topics, and click Display.

Note

We assume you are familiar with standard Windows mouse functions such as clicking, dragging, selecting, double-clicking, and right-clicking. If you need assistance with these functions, please take time to run the Microsoft Windows Tutorial before you start using Digital Camera TWAIN.

Setting Preferences

The Setting Preferences dialog box lets you specify the size of thumbnails, the source to connect to, and the order in which to display images.

• In the Thumbnail Size area, select Small or Large. Selecting a smaller size lets you see more thumbnail images at a time. Selecting a larger size lets you see a larger version of each image. (The number of images displayed adjusts when you resize the entire Digital Camera TWAIN window.)

• In the On Startup area, select the Reconnect to last used source check box to have Digital Camera TWAIN automatically reconnect to the most recent source you used. However, if Digital Camera TWAIN was automatically started when connected to the USB port, the camera images will automatically display regardless of this setting.

• In the On Startup area, select the Show most recent pictures first check box to always view images with the most current date appearing first  in either Thumbnail View or File View.

• Convert RAW Image to RGB as:

If the [Reflect results in thumbnail] is checked, the thumbnail will reflect the selected parameters. Please note, however, the changes will only take effect after all the RAW images are sent to the computer and converted.

If [false color filter] is checked, the false color in the image are reduced when the RAW image is converted. The conversion time is lengthened by the time required for this processing.

• Send RAW image data to the application as:

If [8 bits per color channel] is selected, the RAW image data is sent in the form of 8 bits per RGB channel.

If [16 bits per color channel] is selected, the RAW image data is sent in the form of 16 bits per RGB channel.

These options are disabled if 16-bit transmissions are not supported by the application program or the particular Canon digital camera model in use.

• DPI Setting

This option allows you to set the resolution (dots per inch) of images sent to the application.
