Selecting the Retrieval Tone Curve (USB controller only)
Images are stored on the controller’s
internal hard drive in 16-bit raw mode
(as though you had selected the “None
14-bit” tone curve in the Tone panel).
When you retrieve the images to the
host computer you choose whether to
keep them in raw mode, or apply a tone
curve, and choose whether you want 8
or 16-bits per channel in the retrieved
file.
None. e image is retrieved and
stored as 16-bits/channel without any
tone curve applied. is is a raw image,
exactly the same as shooting an image
with the “None 14-bit” tone curve. e 8/16-bits radio buttons are set to 16-bits and inactive in this
mode.
Saved with scan. e tone curve in effect when the image was captured is applied to the stored
raw file. Initially the 8 Bits

image. So, if the image was originally shot as an 8-bit per color original, the 8 Bits button will be
selected. You may change this setting by clicking on the desired number of bits per color button,
8
Bits
or 16 Bits, before clicking the Retrieve button.

button in the File Manager will be checked. You may change this at any time prior to clicking the
Retrieve
button.
