5.3 RGB workflow (continued)
5.3.2 Reduced resolution RGB workflow (fast RGB workflow)
For projects which require a fast image taking/processing/saving rhythm at reduced
resolution the fast RGB workflow is ideal. This is achieved by selecting an automatic
exposure (spot, prescan or variation) a reduced resolution (option "fast") and
selecting "auto save":
Set all other parameters to the desired value (format, distance, TDI Stages, ISO/ASA,
File type TIFF or JPG).
Selecting "automatic (spot)", "6x6/fast" and "Auto save" allows to scan,
transfer and save a 1'250 x 5'000 pixel panorama in less than 10 sec.
The resulting TIFF or JPG files cannot be reopened by the Seitz Roundshot
D3 software or other raw converters. Additional post-processing needs to
be done entirely in Photoshop.

"Automatic (prescan)" is more accurate, but is more
time-consuming than "Automatic (spot)", as it
requires a 360° turn of the camera head for light
metering. "Automatic (variation)"change the
exposure time within the image.
There are seven resolution options:
• 1x1: 7'500 pixels vertical resolution)
• 2x2: 3'750 pixels vertical resolution)
• 3x3: 2'500 pixels vertical resolution)
• 4x4: 1'875 pixels vertical resolution)
• 6x6: 1'250 pixels vertical resolution)
• 9x9: 833 pixels vertical resolution)
• 12 x 12: 625 pixels vertical resolution)
„Fast" compresses the image already in the
digital scan back, making the image transfer
significantly faster. However, this fast compression
method allows less quality than when
compressing after image transfer (option
"Quality").
Auto Save saves the image directly after image
taking without pressing the „save" button. It names
the file automatically.
