Working with TIFF files from other sources
TIFF RGB and TIFF Lab files from any source can be opened and viewed in ColorQuartet for
correction and/or separation to CMYK or RGB.
Opening and setting up a TIFF file
• When you connect to CQtiff, the Get Last Preview button in the Connections window changes to
Open TIFF file. Click on this and choose the desired file from the standard dialogue that
appears.
• You can then set up the file and make image modifications, just as you would with a preview
scan.

To start processing a TIFF file
• When you have finished making the desired adjustments to the image, give the file a new
name via the Scan Setup
window. Note that you cannot use the same name as that of the input
file.
• Put the file in the queue by clicking on the Ready to Process button in the Scan Setup window.
• Choose Do Jobs from the Scan menu to carry out the changes.
Batch-processing TIFF files
• You can process several TIFF files at once by simply opening and editing as many files as you
want to and clicking on Ready to Process for each before choosing Do Jobs from the Scan menu.
• On the Macintosh, you can also put several images in the Jobs queue at once by dragging them
onto the icon of the running ColorQuartet program in the Macintosh’s Finder. Once they are
in the Jobs queue, you can choose each file and manipulate it as desired before activating Do
Jobs.
