TIFF, PICT, EPS Formats
After creating or scanning the image, you need to decide the format
in which to save it. The three most popular formats are TIFF (Tagged
Image File Format), PICT (from Picture), and EPS (Encapsulated
PostScript) files. If you use a scanning application such as
Photoshop, make sure to choose the appropriate line screen under
Page Setup before saving the image. This is essential for importing
the image into other applications. Some programs do not allow you
to change the line screen of an individual PICT or EPS image once it
is imported.
PageMaker only allows you to change the line screen of a TIFF file.
Do this by clicking the image and choosing Image Control under the
Elements menu. Set the line screen using the formulas in the
previous section, “Halftone Scanning.”
Note:
Different versions of PageMaker may work differently. See
the application manual for details.
QuarkXpress only allows you to change the line screen of an
individual TIFF file. Do this through the Style menu. QuarkXPress
gives you a choice of Normal (default), 60, 30, 20 and Other line
screens. You may choose your own lpi through Other. QuarkXPress
goes a step further by allowing you to change the line screen of the
entire document in Page Setup under the File menu.
Note:
Different versions of QuarkXpress may work differently.
See the application manual for details.
For more information on specific applications, see appendix B,
“Application Notes.”
Gamma Corrections
XANTÉ Halftone Calibration Technology includes a sophisticated
gamma corrections feature. This feature allows you to change
midrange contrasts by adjusting grayscale values without altering the
black shadow and white highlight values at each end of the scale.
