Q. What is Digital Photo Front-Access?
Digital Photo Front-Access is a newly developed software to promote the efficiency of a workflow
that ranges from the input of an image taken with a digital camera to the output of a print using
a large format printer. It develops RAW* images and performs browsing, selection, auto image
retouching, and printing of RAW and JPEG format images. Further, it enables users to select an
image to print in large format, and to easily transfer the image data to other application software
such as PosterArtist 2007 and Adobe Photoshop.
This feature greatly improves work efficiency since users can perform each operation in the
workflow process on just one software program.
*Only RAW images shot by Canon EOS digital series.
Q. What file formats can be viewed?
JPEG, RAW, and TIFF. (TIFF format will be supported in Version 1.1.)
