Help Button
Clicking on “Help” brings up an index of useful topics about how to use the Digital ROC plug-
in. Click on the topic you need. If you cannot find the information you need, click on the
“Technical Support” entry in the help index for how to obtain further information. The Help
window also has an About entry that you can click on to see the version and date of your copy of
the Digital ROC plug-in.
About Plug-In Window
Some image editing applications provide an About Plug-In feature under the application’s Help
menu. The About Plug-In window for Digital ROC shows the version and date of your plug-in
software. It also has a Buy and Register button, for quick access to those processes
.
Defaults Button
The Defaults Button sets the ASF plug-in slider controls back to the default values.
4 TIPS FOR OPERATING DIGITAL ROC
Monitor Display Settings.
The ASF Plug-in Software may not function properly when your monitor is set for 800 x 600
resolution and large fonts. To insure proper operation and avoid error messages, set your monitor
for greater than 800 x 600 resolution. In Windows, you can set the resolution to 800 x 600 if you
also set the display to use small fonts.
Crop print borders.
The Digital ROC plug-in works best on images that are evenly faded. Prints that faded while
they were in a picture frame will often have a border of less faded image where the frame
protected the print, and Digital ROC will work best if you remove the less faded area. Older
snapshots often have a white frame around the image. Although Digital ROC will correct the
border and the image, you may find that you get slightly better results by cropping out the
border.
Dealing with difficult prints.
Certain photographic papers lose all the information in one of the dye layers when they fade,
making it impossible for the Digital ROC plug-in to determine the original colors. The most
common examples are prints from the 1950s that have faded to a bright magenta and that become
purple and green after correcting with Digital ROC. Your host application may have an image-
editing tool that can blend information from the existing layers to replace the missing dye layer
(for example, on the Photoshop pull down menu it is under Image-Adjust-Channel Mixer). To
