Registering an external program

You can register an external program in advance to use to adjust an image previewed on the document window with the registered program. You can register up to three programs.
Follow the procedures on this page to add or remove an external program.

When you start the software for the first time

Select [Yes] to use an external program to process or edit an image modified with Image Data Converter SR.

   Name/Program file

   In the [Name] text box, the name of the registered program is displayed. In the [Program file] box, the directory where the program is located is displayed. To add or edit the settings, click [Browse...] and specify the external program to be registered.

   Transfer format

   Specify the file format or other settings to be used when an image is sent to a registered external program. File format: Select form [JPEG] (for image data compression) or [TIFF] (for high quality printing). Bit depth (for Tiff only): Select the data bit depth either from [8 bit] or [16 bit]. Color space: Select [sRGB], [AdobeRGB], or [Wide Gamut RGB]. Compression (for JPEG only): Specify the compression level. The higher the compression rate is, the smaller the file size. The lower the compression rate is, the higher the picture quality.

3. Click [OK] when the settings are completed.
