I have been using FlexColor for some years with my Imacon scanner but only recently started to play around with it for use with my CFV back.
I had no problems to connect the back to my Mac G5 via Firewire and see the images that were on the CF card, adjusting them in FlexColor then saving them as TIFF files for further work in PhotoShop.
But I was playing around with an alternative approach to importing images and have not yet had any success.
I own an 80Gb HyperSpace portable disk-drive / card reader. I use it on dive trips to copy and backup my CF cards at the end of each day. Then, when returning home, the RAW images can be copied from the HyperSpace into my Hard Disk (via USB 2.0) and then I process the images in Adobe Camera Raw into PhotoShop.
I wondered if the HyperSpace might also be useful with the CFV's CF cards. It would be comforting to backup the CF cards during a long trip. So I tried to test this option.
I can take the CF card out of the CFV and place them in the HyperSpace which seems to have no problems copying the image files to its internal had disk. I can connect the HyperSpace to my Mac and copy the CFV images to my Hard Disk.
But, I can not get FlexColor (V4.7) to recognise or import the xxxxxx.3fr image files that I copied to my hard disk.
Is it possible to import these 3fr image files and I am doing something wrong?
Or, is a direct FireWire connection the only way to get images from the CF card on the CFV into FlexColor?
Do I need to buy the Hasselblad image bank, if I want to to back-up my CF cards?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Regards
Peter
