SAVING AS GRAYSCALE

Touch-Up V2.0 will save IFF grayscale pictures that
you can import into other applications. This is an
exciting new Touch-Up capability that opens all kinds
of doors, especially for Desktop Video and Publishing
producers.

Now, you can scan in an image with your Migraph hand
scanner, edit it and save it as a grayscale IFF file.
Then, bring it into one of the powerful new desktop
publishing, video, and Multimedia production
applications that give you so much power to manipulate
these images.

We want to make sure you have an easy and fun time
scanning and saving grayscale images. From our own
experience of using Touch-Up 2.0 in-house doing
grayscale saves of scans, here are some tips from our
programming department:

*    After you run Touch-Up, size down its window to as
     narrow as you can make it. This will give you full
     access to the tool palette, and the handy image
     locator, so you can always see a strip of the
     image you are scanning. If you need to see more,
     just size the Touch-Up window larger. 

*    If you haven't got one open already, open a CLI
     window, and size and move it next to the Touch-Up
     window. Then you can run any of the picture
     display programs like V or USHOW or the picture
     viewer that comes with WorkBench 2.0. 

*    If you also run the AUTOPOINT utility that came
     with WorkBench 2.0, you won't have to click on
     windows to select them, only move the mouse
     pointer over them.

*    Make a trial scan of the image. Remember to set
     the contrast wheel to a lighter setting than you
     would normally use. This is very important, since
     grayscale images always look darker than their
     bit-mapped cousins.

*    After you have scanned the image, click the SAVE
     AS GRAY icon and save out. Don't forget the NTSC
     button, if you're going for a full-screen
     grayscale image.

*    Now, run your Viewer software so that you can see
     the Grayscale results. Use the handy command
     history feature in your CLI window (press the up
     arrow and the return key) to see each new scan. 

*    Go back to Touch-Up, and rescan, changing and
     editing as you need. Then, click the SAVE AS GRAY
     icon again. Double-click the last file name you
     gave it, to update the grayscale file.
                                                           
*    Each time you do a new scan, you can just go back
     to the CLI window, and look at your results.

*    It may be tempting to run another application,
     like your paint or desktop publishing or desktop
     video software concurrently with Touch-Up, but
     save that for after you have a pleasing grayscale
     scan on disk. This will leave the maximum amount
     of RAM available to Touch-Up, which is the best
     possible situation for any graphics program.

So, in a nutshell, here's how to get perfect grayscale
IFF files from Touch-Up 1.04:

     *    (Re)scan

     *    (Re)save as a grayscale IFF file.

     *    Look at the grayscale IFF file from the
          viewer

     *    Repeat the process until you're happy with
          the grayscale picture.

***** ONE MEG USERS **********************************

If you find the program misbehaving, try sizing down
(or closing) any windows you don't actually need open.
This `misbehaving' can manifest itself as any of these
things:

     *    Clicking an icon and not getting a popup
          window you should be getting

     *    Clicking a button and not getting a menu or
          file requester

Often, you will be able to see a rectangle flashing on
the screen when you press a mouse button. This
rectangle should normally contain the object that is
`missing.' As is always the case with the powerful
Amiga multitasking DOS, you can free up more RAM by
just closing or sometimes even sizing down extra
windows. 

***** B-Spline Curve Definition **********************

After you define the shape of a B-Spline curve, you
only need to click the right mouse button once -- not
twice -- to turn it into a brush.
