Preparing Digital Image Files
Attaching ICC Profiles
Using EPPWorks
A-1-1
Gemini can print JPEG or TIFF digital image files captured using a
digital camera or digital camera back, or files professionally scanned from
traditional film or photographic prints. Just import or transfer your digital
image files into your workstation.
Make sure your files are saved in RGB mode (not grayscale or
CMYK), uncompressed (except for JPEGs), and without Alpha
channels. The size of each file must be 48MB or less. Place your files
on the workstation hard disk; don't access them from a CD-ROM or
other removable media.
You can enhance or retouch your digital image files using EPPWorks,
Gemini's proprietary image-editing software. Or, if you prefer, you can
®
use Adobe
Photoshop
your images as necessary. When your files look the way you want, you'll
be ready to lay them out in the Gemini layout software (see Chapter 2 for
instructions).
Before you work with your files in the Gemini software, make sure to
calibrate your workstation monitor so your colors look as accurate as
possible. See the instructions on page 6-31 for details.
Before you retouch or lay out your photos for printing, you may want to
attach an ICC profile to each digital image file. Use Adobe Photoshop or
your digital camera development tools to open your JPEG or TIFF files
and attach an ICC profile using the RGB color space. See the program's
Help utility for instructions.
This section tells you about the basic features of EPPWorks. For detailed
instructions on using all of EPPWorks' features, click the program's
button.
When you retouch your JPEG or TIFF files in EPPWorks, the program
creates a coordinating file called the "EGG" file that contains all the
retouching information you add. The touch-ups don't affect your original
JPEG or TIFF (unless you choose to save the file as a new JPEG or TIFF).
