![]() 8.1 Delete Procedures There are two ways to delete, one is to delete the reserved scenes, and the other is to delete selected scenes. 8.1.1 Delete Reserved Scene ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 8.2 Copy/Move Procedures 8.2.1 Copy/Move Reserved Scene ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 8.3 Files to be Deleted, Copied, or Moved Since this software is compatible with the DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) Standard which has been adopted into the most digital cameras, the multiple files that have the same base name are handled as the identical group of images. For example, if four files such as IMAG0001.CRW, IMAG0001.JPG, IMAG0001.THM, and IMAG0001.SPD exist in the same folder, these four files are handled as a group at the time of operation. In other words, when you delete an IMAG0001, these four files are deleted as a group. So the same thing happens at the time of copying and moving. In the DCF Standard, it is prescribed that the files that have the same base name are handled as a group. For example, the file is composed in the output media as follows by the camera which is being based on this standard. IMAG0002.RAW ... RAW file IMAG0002.JPG ... JPG file created with RAW file simultaneously IMAG0002.THM ... Thumbnail file IMAG0002.WAV ... Sound clip associated with scene SILKYPIX® writes the development parameters in the file named "IMAG0002.RAW.SPD" and a thumbnail file "IMAG0002.RAW.SPI" into the "SILKYPIX_DS" sub-folder. These files created into the "SILKYPIX_DS" sub-folder are treated as members of the group, too. You can treat these files as a group by other utility which was based on the DCF standard, too. But please remember that if you operate these files by other utility, the files created into the "SILKYPIX_DS" sub-folder by SILKYPIX® will not be handled as a group. 8.4 Save Parameter and Thumbnail into CD/DVD This software creates a development parameter file and a thumbnail file into the folder "SILKYPIX_DS", which is created automatically in the folder that the RAW data file exists. (*1) When you copy RAW files into a CD/DVD, you can save the development parameter and the thumbnail image of SILKYPIX® by copying these files together. If a thumbnail file is saved together, when you view directly from CD/DVD with this software, a thumbnail file can be displayed quickly. We recommend you to save "SILKYPIX_DS" sub-folder together when you save the RAW data files into a CD/DVD. Please refer to '10.4.3 Files Created Automatically'. A thumbnail file is created automatically in the background process while you are viewing a thumbnail in the thumbnail mode or the combination mode. However, a thumbnail file is created only when the scene is browsed in the thumbnail mode or the combination mode. In order to create all thumbnails that exist in a certain folder, you can execute the following procedures. ![]() ![]()
8.5 Rename/Batch Rename There are two ways to rename a file. * Rename When you rename a file, the following rule is applied to the both cases Rename/Batch rename. * Batch Rename You can use this function when multiple scenes are selected in the thumbnail mode or the combination mode. Only a base name (a file name without extension) can be renamed and cannot be renamed an extension part. The file that has the same base name with a different extension and exists in the same folder is also renamed simultaneously.
[How to Use Rename] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() (1) Setting Rename Rule Specify base name in each 3 part, "[Area-A]", "[Area-B]", and "[Area-C]." (2) Processing the same file name
When the [Init.] button is clicked, area A is initialized. The control character can be inputted directly from your keyboard using conventional name. *1 There are the control characters for batch rename. (This is the same control character as for "Default filename to save".)
When the same filename exists even after being renamed, you can select either to expand the file name automatically or display the confirm dialog every time. (3) Specifying letter case of extensionSpecify to use capital letters or small letters for an extension. You can specify either not to change the present one or change into capital letters or small letters.
8.6 Printing ![]() This function has two printing format, one is "Normal printing" that prints one scene on one sheet, the other is "Contact sheet" that prints multiple scenes on one sheet. The menu command [File(F)]-[Print(P)] displays the "Print" dialog
8.6.1 Basic Setting 8.6.1.1 Print Format 8.6.2 Detail Setting![]() If you select "Contact sheet", you can select the aspect ratio of the frame for each scene, which is 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, or 16:9. • Number of Horizontal Scenes When the contact sheet is selected, you can specify the number of scenes to be located on one horizontal line, the range is between 2-20 scenes. ![]() You can specify the print range if you select "Normal printing". [Arrangement Setting]• Offset from the top left (mm) Please specify the offset from the top left of the sheet. • Size of the print area (mm)Please specify the size of the printed area. • [Select whole] buttonPrinting location of each scene is automatically adjusted in this area. It makes a print area the whole sheet. • [Centering] buttonIt puts a print area in the center in the sheet. You can specify how to arrange the location of each scene in the print area. • [Auto rotation to minimize borders] If you enable this feature, the image is automatically rotated to minimize the borders. • [Fit image to loose border]If you disable this feature, the image is located inscribed area of the print frame. It makes a border area usually. If you enable this feature, the image is located circumscribed area of the print frame. The image will be trimmed usually. 8.6.2.1 Unsharp Mask 8.6.3 Print Quantity![]() Please use this feature apart from the sharpness of the development parameter if you want to make up the sharpness to measure to the blur of printing. The "sharpness" of the development parameter should be adjusted for each scene to increase resolution. The other hand, the "unsharp mask" is the common parameter for printing. Please refer to '10.1.10 How to Use Sharp and Unsharp Mask' for more details. • Amount(%) You can specify the "amount" to apply "unsharp mask". The larger value makes the stronger sharpness. • Radius(pixel)It sets the thickness of the edge of the outline emphasized. • Threshold(level)The larger value makes the thicker edge, and the smaller value makes the thinner edge. Typically, setting the range between 0.5-1.0 is recommended. If the value is set smaller, the outlines are emphasized regardless of the clearness of the edge. If the value is set larger, only the outlines are emphasized which has clear edge. You can prevent the emphasis of the noise with this parameter. Typically it is set to '0'. Please adjust this parameter to balance noise and sharpness. ![]() Please specify the print resolution. • ColorspaceSILKYPIX® expands/reduces an image according to the print resolution, which is sent to the printer. If you set larger value, SILKYPIX® makes larger image which is sent to the printer. The larger value makes the better quality of printing but makes larger image data and required larger memory. You can specify the colorspace for printing, which is sRGB or Adobe RGB. In general sRGB is selected. If you select "Adobe RGB", you have to do appropriate printer setting. It means that you have to enable the color management of the printer and have to specify "Adobe RGB" as an input colorspace. Please refer to the printer manual about the color management of the printer. ![]() When the "Printer Setting" button is clicked, the OS standard the "Printer Setting" dialog will be displayed. 8.6.5 Print ExecutionPlease complete the printer setting. • Print Execution 8.6.6 Print Preview of Multiple ScenesClick the "Print" button to print with the current setting. • Print CancellationClick the "Cancel" button to close the dialog without print operation. If you select multiple scenes in the thumbnail mode or the combination mode, you will print multiple pages as one copy. In this case, you can change preview page by clicking the buttons, which are located in both sides of the page area. |
