TOPIC


    I need to move some QuickTake files from my Macintosh to my PC. However, if I edit them on my Macintosh, I can no longer get the QuickTake files to open in Windows, why?

DISCUSSION


    When you double click on a QuickTake file on a Macintosh, PhotoFlash opens the QuickTake file as the selected application. You can view the QuickTake file, but if you edit and save the file, and then want to move it to a Windows system, you will have to save the file in TIFF format. PhotoFlash can not save a document in QuickTake format.

    For TIFF format files, save the file as a TIFF for Windows. Then add the suffix ".tif" to the file.

    For QuickTake files, rename the file with a ".qtk" suffix.

    More information is included in the manual on page 53.

    NOTE: There is a summary of how to name the files in the QuickTake Read Me file, but not about using PhotoFlash. Also, you can view QuickTake format files, but not edit them. The advantage of using the QuickTake format, is the size of QuickTake files, which usually is 20% less than TIFF.
