Software and Interface Accessory Kits
The software provided in the Windows and Macintosh accessory kits is designed
specifically for ProPalette film recorders. Accessory kits are purchased separately.
ColorTune software matches the image seen on the computer monitor to the final image
created by the Propalette. This allows the user to perform more accurate previewing when
making adjustments to color and tone scale. ColorTune also enables the user to customize
film look-up tables to their individual workstation to obtain specific results.
Palette Export, an Adobe Photoshop export plug-in module allows printing directly from
Photoshop to produce continuous tone images quickly and simply.
The recorders can be networked with Palette for Windows (including Windows 95,
Windows 98, and Windows NT) and Palette for Macintosh. These software kits include
RasterPlus drivers.
All 8K ProPalette software has been tested for year-2000 compliance.
Accessory kits also include the appropriate cables for connecting the ProPalette film
recorder to Windows or Macintosh platforms.
The accessory kits are described in more detail in the following sections. For the PID
number associated with each kit, see Table 1-1 on page 17.
