The Image Converter


Use the Image Converter to import images into a Collage job. PDF and PostScript images must first be ripped into Ohio format and be placed into a folder configured as a source. 4-color Tiff images can be placed directly into a source folder.

Open using the icon on the Collage toolbar. This will cause the image to be imported into the currently open job. You can also open using the icon on the desktop; then select the job where images will be imported.

To import an image, select the Destination (the job) and the Source (folder with images), and click the Read Directory icon. Then select the image in the list and click the Import icon.

Use the icons on the toolbar and the menus to select the source folder, destination job, image; set options for importing; and to import.

Hover over an icon on the toolbar to see the tooltip.
