- Check all TIFF Files/Check only PhotoShopｪ TIFFs.
This option should be self explanatory. You can either have Find RGB check all TIFF files regardless of the application that created them, or you can have Find RGB check only TIFF files created with PhotoShopｪ.
- Search by TAG/Search by offset.
The old version of Find RGB only checked the word at offset 0x004E. Since this version can check TIFF files created with applications other than PhotoShopｪ, I have added the feature of searching the TAGs themselves. This is much slower than searching by offset since Find RGB has to step through all the TIFF TAGs looking for the tag that contains the color mode value. But since the TAG can be located anywhere in the file, this is the only way to accomplish a search. In short, follow this as a rule of thumb :
1: If searching only PhotoShopｪ TIFFs, set this option to search by offset for speed.
2: If searching all TIFF files, set this option to search by tag to prevent false readings.
Although searching by TAG will also work when searching only PhotoShopｪ TIFFs, it's slower.
- Find RGB
With this checked, "Find RGB" will stop on all TIFF files that are in RGB mode.
- Find LAB
With this checked, "Find RGB" will stop on all TIFF files that are in LAB mode.
- Find All non-CYMK
With this checked, Find RGB will stop on all TIFF files that are NOT in CYMK mode
(Just remember: with this checked, Find RGB will also stop on all Black & White only TIFF files).
You can have all three of these options checked, but this would be redundant since the "Find all non-CYMK" option will override the first two. If you don't want Find RGB to stop on any TIFF files, simply uncheck all three of these.
EPS File Options
---------------
- Check PhotoShopｪ EPSF files
If you wish "Find RGB" to check PhotoShopｪ EPSF files, make sure this is checked. If this is unchecked, "Find RGB" will skip over them.
- Skip DCS File Extensions
With this checked, Find RGB will skip over any PhotoShopｪ EPSF file that ends with .C, .Y, .M or .K. I added this option just in case you have someone sending you EPS files that end with these extensions that are not DCS files. I don't know why someone would do this, but if they do, I gave you the ability to check them by turning this option off.
NOTE
----
- If you turn off all three TIFF options (Find RGB/LAB/all non-CYMK) and also turn off Check PhotoShopｪ EPSF files, "Find RGB" will scan your directory looking for absolutely nothing. Make sure you have at least one of these checked.
