Most Important Changes for All Users

This section points out some of the biggest changes and new features that will affect
both scanner and camera users that are already familiar with FlexColor 4.0.

New Support for Instant Approval Architecture

FlexColor 4.5 now provides full support for the Instant Approval Architecture (IAA)
system introduced with the latest Hasselblad digital cameras and Ixpress digital
camera backs. Using this system, you are able to assign one of three approval levels
(green, yellow or red) to each image. Consequently, FlexColor displays the approval
level of each image, includes controls for modifying approval settings and also
enables you to use approval levels as criteria when importing, sorting and filtering,
etc.
Though the IAA system was primarily developed to enable digital photographers to
organize their work in the field, the feature is now integrated throughout FlexColor
and can therefore also be used with all scanner and studio-photography work.
Specific notes about how IAA has been integrated into FlexColor are given in the
appropriate sections of the remainder of this document.
