Fovea Pro 4.0 Read Me First

Requirements

FoveaPro 4 requires Adobe Photoshop 7.0, CS, or CS2, or other host programs

that support Photoshop plug-ins (e.g., Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro,

Graphic Converter, etc.; note that many other programs that support Photoshop

plugins and file types do not handle 16 bit images, but reduce them to 8 bits per

channel). If you do not have Photoshop, you can download the tryout version

(which will run for three weeks) from:

http://www.adobe.com/products/tryadobe/main.jsp#product=39

Display : 768x1024 or larger, millions of colors

Macintosh : OS X 10.1.15 or later

Windows :

Windows NT, 2000, or XP

Installation

Run the " Mac FP4 Installer " or “ PC FP4 Installer.exe ” program to install the

plug-ins. This will ask you to locate the folder in which to place the plug-in files.

Normally this will be the plug-in folder belonging to Photoshop, or whatever

host program you are using. Some programs allow you to select any folder

location (e.g., Photoshop using the Preferences menu) while others require the

plug-ins to be loaded into a dedicated folder. See your program’s manual, for

additional information. Locate the folder in which to place the files and click OK.

The installer will do the rest. Note that you can install the plug-ins in a temporary

location and then drag them to the final location later, but you can NOT install

them on one machine and subsequently copy them to another computer.

If you are installing an upgrade to a previous version of Fovea Pro or The Image

Processing Tool Kit, you should delete the old plugins first . If you do not, it

will result in both sets of plug-ins appearing in the menu. The default installation

of Fovea Pro and Image Processing Tool Kit plug-ins places them in a single

folder. If they have been moved, it is necessary to locate and manually remove

them beforehand. Different versions of the software were created on different

dates, but if you search for files of type '8BFM' (Mac) or *.8bf (Windows), you

should be able to find all of the Photoshop plug-ins on your machine and sort

them by date. For any given package (except for downloaded updates) the

modification dates of plugins in previous releases will be very close together.

After installing the software, run your host program (e.g., Photoshop). Open any

image or create a new one, and select Filter->IP*Utilities->Preferences . Enter

the serial number that came with your CD into the dialog box provided and click

OK. If your CD is a demo copy, and came without a serial number, the plug-ins

will be fully functional for three weeks. After that, you must obtain a serial

number from Reindeer Graphics and enter it for them to function.

Support Materials

The following support materials may optionally be copied to your hard disk but

can also be accessed directly from the CD, and are not required to install or use

the programs.

Tutorial.pdf is an Acrobat file that illustrates procedures used for image

processing and analysis, with step-by-step instructions and results, using

Photoshop with the Fovea Pro plug-ins and example images that are provided

on the CD. It is organized by task, corresponding to the typical order of

procedures that are used in workflow for the acquisition, processing, and

measurement of images. The organization also corresponds to the sequence of

topics covered in J. C. Russ (2002) “The Image Processing Handbook,” CRC

Press, and to the sequence of lectures and lab exercises which Dr. Russ uses in

teaching workshops.

Manual.pdf is an Acrobat file that describes the individual plug-ins in Fovea Pro,

organized by their menu and submenu arrangement.

Images is a folder containing example images used in the tutorial.

Support is a folder containing subfolders with various sets of files that may be

useful for some of the Photoshop or Fovea Pro functions. These include:

Actions (the example actions from the tutorial; actions created with a

previous version of FoveaPro or IPTK will need to be re-recorded)

Calib (examples of calibration files that correspond to several images)

CLUTs (color look-up tables for pseudocolor display)

Density (examples of density calibration files that correspond to several

images)

Kernels (sets of weight values that perform various filtering operations)

Recipes (examples of recipe files for feature classification)

Scripts (the example scripts from the tutorial; these may be copied to your

Presets/Scripts folder)
