Scion Image
|
Scion Image for MacOS tells me that I don't have enough
memory. What should I do?
You need to tell the Finder to give Scion Image more memory.
Applications can only use as much memory as they are
allocated. To increase the memory allocation, click (once)
on the Scion Image icon (a microscope) and select the
Finder's Get Info command. Increase the 'Preferred Size'.

I
am used to black having a value of zero, and white a value
of 255, but in Scion Image black is 255 and white is zero.
How can I change this?
Check 'Invert Pixel Values' in the 'Preferences' dialog box
under the 'Options' menu. This causes pixel values displayed
in the Info and Results windows to be inverted. Choosing
'Record Preferences' under the 'File' menu will cause Scion
Image to remember this setting.

Sometimes, after I have copied an image to the clipboard,
the 'Paste' command becomes dim. Why is this?
Images copied to the clipboard are stored in Scion Image's
Clipboard buffer. In some situations, such as filtering, the
program has to use the Clipboard buffer for internal
operations. When this happens, the 'Paste' command gets
dimmed out.

Why does the desktop change color when I run Scion Image?
Scion Image uses all but two of the 256 available screen
colors. The two colors that the program never changes are
white (0) and black (255). Objects on the screen that are
not black and white are likely to change color when the
program is being used. To remedy this problem, either set
your display to thousands or millions of colors, or check
the 'Desktop Friendly' box in the 'Preferences' dialog box.

Text looks very ragged when I print an image on my laser
printer. Why is that?
Scion Image treat texts as if it were part of the bit mapped
image. To create high quality text for laser printer output
and slide makers you need to export the image to a
multi-layer, object-oriented drawing program, such as
Photoshop.
