Installing and registering Intellihance
The following file is installed into your Adobe Photoshop or
PhotoDeluxe Plug-ins folder:
Intellihance.8bf on Windows
Intellihance 3.0 on Macintosh
An Intellihance folder is installed on your startup disk. This folder
contains sample images.
During the launch of Intellihance, you will be requested to serialize
and register the software. Please enter the serial number located on
the back of the manual. If you do not have a serial number, you can
choose to run Intellihance in demo mode. The Demo mode allows full functionality for 5 uses each application session, up to 30 uses total.
Please register using one of the built-in electronic registration
methods. If you do not have a modem, fax/modem, or printer, you may fill out the registration card in the back of the manual.
Microtek Scanners on Macintosh computers:
Microtek scanners may interfere with the built-in electronic
registration process. If you are using a Microtek scanner, please turn
it off before attempting to register Intellihance. You may turn the
scanner back on once the registration process is complete.
Changes in Intellihance 3.0.1 (Windows only)
1) The Intellihance dialog will now fit in 640 x 480 display mode. If you are using Large Fonts, you may need to go to a higher resolution setting.
General Notes on Intellihance use
1) As you use Intellihance, please note that some effects (sharpening, brightness, saturation) work in combination when they are turned on together. If you are not seeing the desired results with Intellihance, start by turning off all but one or two settings. Add each setting one at a time and adjust the level of the settings as you go.
2) In order to see an accurate representation of descreening results
you will need to preview your image at 100%. Any other zoom setting will display too much or too little blurring.
3) In order for Auto Descreen to work effectively, Intellihance needs
a large enough sample of the image in order to do its calculations.
If you are running Intellihance on small selections or images, you may note that Auto Descreening does not work. Manual descreening settings can still be used on smaller selections.
4) If you want to speed up overall processing and preview performance on CMYK images, turn off the automatic cast removal options in the Preference area.
5) When using Intellihance in PhotoDeluxe, you will need to turn on
Long Menus in order to get access to Intellihance.
For Windows: Go to the File Menu and choose Preferences. From the Preferences area choose Long Menus.
For Macintosh: Go to the File menu and choose Long Menus.
6) In order to speed up panning and zooming, Intellihance will switch to the original image preview when panning and zooming are used.
Notes for Windows Users
1) When running Intellihance in low memory conditions, you may note that some Intellihance settings do not get applied. If this occurs, you can:
a) Free up memory and try the operation again.
b) Turn Auto Descreening off and try the operation again.
c) Apply your current settings via the Quick Enhance dialog.
2) Running Intellihance on multitone images in 256 colors can
cause erratic results. It is recommended that Intellihance be run
with thousands of colors.
