"SCSI Direct Control"This is the way to control scanner directly which is connected to SCSI interface not that TraceMan is helped by"TWAIN Driver" etc.It is recommendable to use "TWAIN Connection" or "TWAIN" in the case of scanner which "TWAIN Driver" isprepared but not "SCSI Connection" .In the case other than "TWAIN" or "TWAIN Control" is selected (※) at "Edit"->"Preference"->"Scanner", "SCSIDirect Control" will be used automatically.Note: In the case one of these among "EPSON A4 Scanner","EPSON A3 Scanner" and "HP ScanJet" is selected.Scanners which were released after release of TraceMan Ver.5.3 cannot do controls by "SCSI Direct Control". Itis required to scan by "TWAIN" or "TWAIN Control".

For scanners which were released before publication of Ver.5.3., please refer to RETAS!PRO website.

Note: Even if it is connected using SCSI interface, a part of functions such as ADF compliance, automatic dis-tribution of continuous scanning images are not available when controlling it through TWAIN. For SCSI con-nection, SCSI interface purity made by Adaptec, Inc. and SDPI driver (Windows only) are required.

・ Combination of SCSI card of Adaptec, Inc. and genuine ASPI driverNote:Other manufacturers products which conforming to ASPI are described on package are able to use insome case, but we do not guarantee about operation.Note:For SCSI cards compliance to each OS, please contact Adaptec, Inc.

Note: Above mentioned is as of May.2005.

Scanner Control MethodThese three of "TWAIN","TWAIN Control",and "SCSI Direct Control" are prepared as a scanner controlmethod.Note: See "Edit"->"Preference"->"Scanner"

*What about "TWAIN"?"TWAIN" is a standard to control input-output devices such as scanners. This is consist of "TWAIN Driver"which manufacturer of scanner provides and "TWAIN supported Application Software". If application sidecomplies with TWAIN, in principle, it is possible to use it regardless of the model of the scanner.

However, by compatibility between "TWAIN Driver" and application software, or by change of specificationof "TWAIN Driver", it might be not possible to use it even if it is "TWAIN" supported scanner. Before purchas-ing a scanner(s), please notice whether it is operation confirmed model or not for TraceMan. For informationconcerning operation confirmation of scanner, please refer to RETAS!PRO website.

*What is the difference between "TWAIN" and "TWAIN Control" as amethod controlling scanner?At "Preference" dialogue in TraceMan (v5.2.5 or later), two type of "TWAIN" and "TWAIN Control" are pre-pared as a scanner control method using "TWAIN Driver" produced by scanner manufacturer. ("TWAINControl" only for Mac OS X)Note: See "Edit"->"Preference"->"Scanner".Having been supported so far is"TWAIN", while newly added since TraceMan Ver5.2.5 is "TWAIN Control".

"TWAIN""TWAIN" is available at all scanner which TWAIN is supported regardless of the machine model, but when"TWAIN..." is executed, TraceMan leaves all the controls to the scanner to the "TWAIN Driver" side after-wards after calling the "TWAIN Driver".

Therefore, this means who do scanner controls by "TWAIN" is not TraceMan but "TWAIN Driver".As a result, user interface of during scanning by "TWAIN" is provided by "TWAIN Driver", "Pre-scanningPalette" that is the user interface of original TraceMan cannot be used.

Note: When controlling the scanner by "TWAIN" or "TWAIN Control", a part of functions such as ADF com-pliance, automatic distribution and continuous scanning image are not available.

"TWAIN Control"Under "TWAIN Control", TraceMan operates scanner by sending commands which the scanner required via"TWAIN Driver". Therefore, under "TWAIN Control", who do scanner control is TraceMan itself and TWAINdriver just mediate between TraceMan and a scanner. As a result, under "TWAIN Control", TWAIN support-ed scanner can be used using "Prescan Palette" and "Scan Palette" as usual.

Note: When controlling a scanner by "TWAIN" or "TWAIN Control", a part of functions such as ADF compli-ance, automatic distribution of and continuous scanning image are not available.

Q: When loading a PICT file saved by Photoshop for Macintosh, noiseoccurs on the image file.A: Is not the PICT file compressed by JPEG?Graphic software other than RETAS!PRO provide JPEG compression function using QuickTime as option forsaving.Do not use this option to avoid the compression noise.Photoshop 5.0 or later prepares "NONE" as option for PICT compression however this means "NONE" of dete-rioration in image quality and actually compression that doesn't ruin the image quality is taken automatically,so even if you chose "NONE", the file size will be small.

Q: The image cannot be saved into disc.A: Is the empty capacity for disc enough?If the empty capacity is extremely decreased, it causes not to save the images, and moreover the OS becomes

unstable. Always keep at least 1GB of the empty capacity.

Q: I thrown the file away by mistake.A: File utility might be possible to recover it.If you have deleted the file by your mistake, disc tools such as "Norton Utilities" of Symantec Corporation

might rescure these files.

However, this not mean that recover perfectly, therefore please note about it when deleting file.If the file has overwritten by mistake, there is no way to rescure it.To avoid the data missing caused by disc's troubles, it is recommended to backup them frequently.

Q: Fill tool stops on the way with beep sound.A: If "Overflow Check" of "Fill" at "Paint" Palette is checked, the paint leakage is detected. Please turn off thischeck.

Q: The lines have connected where I am not expecting to.A:The Join Line Command decides upon the specific condition. See the "Join Line Tool" in "Commands &Tools" at PaintMan user's manual.

Q: When I erased the gray line by "eraser" tool, the gradation is put atborder between colors.A: PaintMan deletes the border line (R:0 G:0 B:0) to compose the gray line nicely. So, it may sometimes grada-tion put at border.In general, the gray line is on the border line, so this gradation does not be problem. If you prefer to wipe thisgradation, replace the other color except pure black (R:0 G:0 B:0).

Q: Preview for "Auto Fill" Palette is too small.A:Is the image file saved by applications of TraceMan Ver 2 or former, or PaintMan Ver 3 or former?Please resave it by PaintMan Ver5.X.

Q: When loading a file saved by PaintMan Ver5.x in Paintman Ver.3,the coloring layer images are shown by main line at all.A:Files saved by PaintMan Ver.5.x or Ver.4.x cannot be loaded by paintMan Ver.3 or former.If saved by PaintMan Ver.5.x, use PaintMan Ver.5.x for it.

CoreRETASQ: The imported cels are not loaded when trying to load the x-sheet.An Alert Dialogue "Unable to find the images in Celbank" appears.A: Have you kept the notices about a scene folder system?RETAS!PRO manages files per folder according to the scene folder system.

A: Did you shift, rename or delete the file after importing the images into celbank?If shifting, renaming, or deleting images after creating an x-sheet, the link between the x-sheet and images cut.The "Rename" includes such as adding an extention to file.

A:Did you relocate the x-sheet after creating the x-sheet?This also causes to cut the link between the x-sheet and images.

A: Did you import images out of the scene folder which x-sheet is located?This is not recommended to import images out of the scene folder or images in other volume (Disc). Troublesmay happen.

Place all images which the x-sheet needed into the scene folder and x-sheet too.

Even among TraceMan supported scanners, there are some models which the ADF is not supported.TraceMan only supports ADF among specified scanners only. For details of supported scanner, see this bookor RETAS!PRO website.When the scanner is attached through TWAIN, TraceMan does not recognize ADF.

Q: When I tried to open the image traced by TraceMan at PaintMan,the layer information disappeared.A: Have you opened the image by certain software other than PaintMan? The other software cannot treat thelayer structure correctly.

ATTENTIONThis is the same case when the image traced by TraceMan is opened by TraceMan again.For details, see "About Layer Structure Of TraceMan" or "Data Exchange Between Other Software" in"Technical Information".

Q: What is the difference between a three pass scanning and a onepass scanning?A: A three pass scanning is called high-accuracy however take more time because RGB is scanned by head-shift three times. While a one pass scanning is called that the accuracy decreases however is scanned quicklybecause RGB is scanned by head shift one time.Please testify the scanning speed and scanning accuracy on your scanner and choose the suitable settings foryou.

PaintManQ: Is painting the line layer possible?A: It is not recommended. It can be possible but the line protecting function might be frozen and might disap-pear the line by mistake.This is the same case even when there is the gray layer.

Q: The line(line layer) disappeared when I used an eraser tools on theline ( A line protection function does not work).A: If you connect the lines with "Color Layer" when you connect a line that cuts on the way, the line is writtenon "line layer" side.Switch to "line layer" and connect the line if you use the "Line Protection Function".

Q: Fill tool and pencil tool does not work when drawing.A: Are there any color other than pure white (R:255 G:255 B:255) on the line layer?All color except white (R:255 G:255 B:255) in images on a line layer will be target to the line protection func-tion.Please check whether the background color is set to white (R:255 G:255 B:255) when deleting the image byEraser Tool.

A: Is the drawing color not pure black (R:0 G:0 B:0)?The pure black (R:0 G:0 B:0) is treated as a "border line" when composing the gray layer and display it, so thiscolor (R:0 G:0 B:0) disappears.

If you need to use the black color at the image with gray layer, use a color (R:1 G:1 B:1) for instance.

Q: Outline does not become clear even performing smoothing.A: Has "Smoothing" of "Rendering Setup..." been set correctly?If change the scale or put focus treatment to mono-traced cel, an interpolation between pixels is put. The

"Smoothing" cannot effect to such images. Therefore, when smoothing these mono-traced images, do smooth-ing it first, then change the scale or put focus treatment.In general, this problem does not occur if set "Rendering Settings..." into "Auto". If there are no reason, set"Auto".

Q: When exported,white parts of BG (Background) painted in black.A:Are you using transparent color of white (RGB=255,255,255) in BG image?Change the BG layer transparency into "Opaque".

Q: The image does not filtered even if using the Effect Layer.A: Is the "Layer Switch" of "Effect Filter"not turned off?A: Is the "parameter" and "Setup items" of "Effect layer" set correct?Among "Effect Layer", there are which "Parameter" and "Setup Items" needed.For detail of setup, please refer to your plugin filter manual.

Q: The "Backlight" doesn't shine well.A: Mask that shades off part where light has extended is required for masking images which is used at"Backlight" filter."Backlight 2" does not need to shade the image, but the light expansion can be controlled only filter settings.

Q: It doesn't shine well though I tried to make background shining bythe Backlight.

A: When an image(s) is put previous the "Backlight" filter set image, the Backlight does not effect to abovelayer nothing.Therefore even if you make the Backlight strong, it not seems to be shined.When you need to treat the Backlight for BG, create mask for a part without character first, then createBacklight mask based on it and import as a top layer.

Q: The image doesn't get out of focus even if put the "Focus" filterput.A: Did you change the scale?If you made a change the scale value on camera work, this phenomenon occurs.For details, see "About Focus" in "Commands and Tools" at CoreRETAS user's manual.

Q: Motion Blur does not effect.A:Motion Blur does not effect when there are no moves in the camera.

Q: When images exported by CoreRETAS is opend by Photoshop, thecolors seem to be slightly changed.A: Are you using Photoshop 5.0.2 or later?Photoshop 5.0 converts the color space into RGB when images opened, so it may be changed color slightly.Photoshop 5.0.2 has been solved this problem. Please update your Photoshop into Ver5.0.2.

See the following Adobe Systems Inc. website for updating methods.

Q: The parameter of the focus value etc. cannot input the numericalvalue.I input a parameter into "Data Cel", but the value is not indicated.

A:Did you input the cel number?If the cel number is not input on x-sheet, you cannot input parameter.Cels which the cel number is entered is indicated with light gray color.

Q: When pasting, the other parameters follows this pasting.A:Are you using "Selective Paste..."?"Cut""Copy" commands to copy all parameters which "Data Cel" has into buffer.If "paste" is commanded, all parameters follow it.When you need to paste parameter which you need only, Select "Edit"->"Selective paste...".

Q: The value of x-sheet have not been inbetweened.A:Have keyframes been set?If there are only on keyframe or no frame in the selected area, auto-inbetweening is not performed.

Q: I put some keyframes to make the move more accurately, but thekeyframe position shift and inbetweening cannot be done neatly.A: Is it not checked one that "Inbetweeing"->"Setup"->"Match Position And Speed On Stage"? For details, see "About Inbetweening" in "Commands and Tools" at CoreRETAS user's manual.

Q: I increased the parameter value of random input to make a largeblurring, but it couldn't.A: The input parameter in "Random Input..." only specifies a maximum value of it, so it does not mean thatthe blur become large as the input value.

Q: When overlapping the layer, the background seems to be transpar-ent.A: Layer transparency means an composite ratio of object layer against composite result to the former layer.For instance, when overlapping layer A and B and set layer A's transparency of 100% into 0% while its reverseof B, this phenomenon happens. In this case, turn 0% transparency of layer B to 100% only.

Q: When I changed cel's scale and do camera work, it has becomestrange movement.A: Make inbetweening settings same and set inbetweening again. This phenomenon is easily happen when adifferent speed has been set when inbetweening cel's scale and position.

Q: I inbetweened TU/TB by "Uniformed Speed", but the actual speedseems to be accelerated.A: TU/TB in CoreRETAS has done by increasing and decreasing of scale parameter. This scale parametershows a ratio of one side of cel or camera. Therefore if inbetweening by "Uniformed" Speed, the area of the celor camera changes by square.

Q: The imported cel size cannot be installed in a Stage.A: Change the stage size at "Edit"->"Preference..." to in the frame.The Stage size is limited depending on memory (accurately, a memory can be allocated to CoreRETAS).To treat large images, increase memory and allocate a large memory for CoreRETAS as possible.
