Installing the Plug-in Module / Creating a Template 4

Installing the Plug-in

Module

To enable use of the plug-in module, the module must be

copied to the plug-in folder of Photoshop.

Copy the “\UPCR10LR10\plug-in\Sony_upcr.8be”

from the supplied CD-ROM to your computer. For

information on which folder to use as copy destination,

consult the Photoshop documentation.

Creating a Template

This section describes how to use the plug-in module to

create a template for use with the border print function.

Workflow for Template Creation

and Use

Creating Image Data

First, you should create image data containing the frame

design. The required size for the image data depends on

the print size and orientation. Create image data with the

correct size.

Only image data in RGB format can be used. Templates

cannot be created with image data in a format other than

RGB.

About transparent area

The transparent area is the area of a border print where

the underlying photograph is visible. Set the color of the

locations you want to use as the transparent area to the

RGB values (254,254,254). If there are locations set to

these RGB color values that you do not want to use as

part of the transparent area, set the transparent area with

the plug-in module. For details, refer to step 3 of “Using

the Plug-in Module.”

Create the image data for the border design.

Use the plug-in module, and create a template.

When template data is output to the expansion

CompactFlash card

Insert the expansion CompactFlash card into the

UP-CR10L.

When template data is output to a drive other than the

expansion CompactFlash card

Use a memory card to copy the template data to the

expansion CompactFlash card of the UP-CR10L.

The created template can be used.

Print size Image size (unit: pixels)

3×5" size, landscape 1,536 (H) ×1,100 (V)

3×5" size, portrait 1,100 (H) ×1,536 (V)

4×6" size, landscape 1,848 (H) ×1,248 (V)

4×6" size, portrait 1,248 (H) ×1,848 (V)

5×7" size, landscape 2,148 (H) ×1,536 (V)

5×7" size, portrait 1,536 (H) ×2,148 (V)

Creating a Template 5

Using the Plug-in Module

Open the image data to be used for the template in

Photoshop.

From the [File] menu of Photoshop, select [Export]

– [Sony UP-CR Template].

The dialog box of the plug-in module appears. The

transparent area is displayed as a checkered pattern.

Memo

However, if you click and drag the mouse to specify

an area, areas outside of the specified box are not

treated as part of the transparent area, even if their

RGB color values are (254,254,254). Areas within

the specified box with RGB color values other than

(254,254,254) are also not treated as part of the

transparent area.

The minimum size for this area is 10 pixels on each

side. Any setting of 9 pixels or under will be

disregarded.

Click the [Execute] button in the dialog box of the

plug-in module.

The following dialog box appears.

Specify the destination drive and the template

name.

Drive:

This is the drive where the template data will be

stored. The folder cannot be specified.

If your computer can use CompactFlash cards,

insert the expansion CompactFlash card of the

UP-CR10L into your computer, and specify the

corresponding drive.

Template data are always stored in a folder

named “\Sony\UPCR\template\(paper size)” on

the specified drive. The “3x5”, “4x6”, and “5x7”

folder is selected automatically, according to the

image size. If this folder does not exist, it will be

created automatically.

Template Name:

Enter a name to identify the template. The name

can be up to 32 characters long and may only

contain alphanumeric characters and the

underline symbol (_). No extension can be

specified.

Click the [OK] button.

The template data are stored on the specified drive.

If template data with the same name already exist,

a message asking whether to overwrite the existing

data appears.

For details on the files and folders created on the

destination drive, refer to “Created Folders and

Files.”

Created Folders and Files 6

Transferring Templates to the UP-

CR10L

When template data is output to the

expansion CompactFlash card

Insert the expansion CompactFlash card into the slot

designated for the card on the UP-CR10L.

When template data is output to a drive

other than the expansion CompactFlash

card

Copy the created template to the expansion

CompactFlash card using the following procedure.

Insert a memory card into the computer.

Create the folder “\Sony\UPCR\Template” in the

root folder of the memory card, and copy the entire

folder for each desired print size into it.

Insert the memory card into the UP-CR10L.

Copy the template data from the memory card to

the expansion CompactFlash card of the UP-

CR10L, using template tab of the administration
