- Installing and registering Intellihance:
- The following file is installed into your Adobe Photoshop or
- PhotoDeluxe Plug-ins folder:
- Intellihance.8bf on Windows
- Intellihance 3.0 on Macintosh
-
- An Intellihance folder is installed on your startup disk. This folder
- contains sample images.
-
- During the launch of Intellihance, you will be requested to serialize
- and register the software. Please enter the serial number located on
- the back of the manual. If you do not have a serial number, you can
- choose to run Intellihance in demo mode. The Demo mode allows full
- functionality for 5 uses each application session, up to 30 uses total.
-
- Please register using one of the built-in electronic registration
- methods. If you do not have a modem, fax/modem, or printer, you may
- fill out the registration card in the back of the manual.
-
- Microtek Scanners on Macintosh computers:
- Microtek scanners may interfere with the built-in electronic
- registration process. If you are using a Microtek scanner, please turn
- it off before attempting to register Intellihance. You may turn the
- scanner back on once the registration process is complete.
-
- General Notes on Intellihance use:
- 1) As you use Intellihance, please note that some effects (sharpening,
- brightness, saturation) work in combination when they are turned on
- together. If you are not seeing the desired results with Intellihance,
- start by turning off all but one or two settings. Add each setting
- one at a time and adjust the level of the settings as you go.
-
- 2) In order to see an accurate representation of descreening results
- you will need to preview your image at 100%. Any other zoom setting
- will display too much or too little blurring.
-
- 3) In order for Auto Descreen to work effectively, Intellihance needs
- a large enough sample of the image in order to do its calculations.
- If you are running Intellihance on small selections or images, you may
- note that Auto Descreening does not work. Manual descreening settings
- can still be used on smaller selections.
-
- 4) If you want to speed up overall processing and preview performance
- on CMYK images, turn off the automatic cast removal options in the
- Preference area.
-
- 5) When using Intellihance in PhotoDeluxe, you will need to turn on
- Long Menus in order to get access to Intellihance.
- For Windows: Go to the File Menu and choose Preferences. From the
- Preferences area choose Long Menus.
- For Macintosh: Go to the File menu and choose Long Menus.
-
- 6) In order to speed up panning and zooming, Intellihance will switch
- to the original image preview when panning and zooming are used.
-
- Windows:
- 1) The Intellihance dialog will not fit on a 640 x 480 screen size.
- The minimum screen size is 600 x 800 with small fonts. If you are
- using Large Fonts, you may need to go to a higher resolution setting.
-
- 2) When running Intellihance in low memory conditions, you may note
- that some Intellihance settings do not get applied. If this occurs,
- you can:
- a) Free up memory and try the operation again.
- b) Turn Auto Descreening off and try the operation again.
- c) Apply your current settings via the Quick Enhance dialog.
-
- 3) Running Intellihance on multitone images in 256 colors can
- cause erratic results. It is recommended that Intellihance be run
- with thousands of colors.
