SCALING AN IMAGE
Powered by the most advanced scaling technology available, SmartScale offers an easy, intuitive way to scale images up to 1600% with no discernible loss in print quality. SmartScales intuitive interface allows you to preview scaling results on the fly and get the high-quality results that you require.
Pixel Dimensions The Pixel Dimensions group box displays the current pixel width and height of the image. These dimensions are determined by the current document size and resolution. Scale Slider Use the scale slider to quickly enlarge or reduce an image. Click and drag the scale slider to choose a scale value. Since the SmartScale window shows an immediate preview of the scaled image, this is by far the quickest way to view the results of scaling. Document Size The Document Size group box shows you the current printed dimensions and resolution of the image. This information is also used to calculate the Pixel Dimensions and file size of an image. Typically, images are scaled by entering a new resolution, as well as a width or height. The image aspect ratio is always preserved during scaling, so when you enter one dimension, the other adjusts automatically. The new size information can be entered in a variety of measurements, including a percentage. Resample Image
The maximum amount that you can scale an image is limited to 1600% or 30,000 pixels in either dimension, whichever is reached first. The 30,000 pixel limit is the maximum dimension allowed in Adobe Photoshop.
This check box turns scaling on and off. Typically this box is checked. Uncheck this box if you want to adjust the document size without changing the pixel dimensions. Reset Button This button resets the pixel dimensions, document size and resolution to the original settings. The Reset button does not reset any image cropping.

Applying presets
Applying presets is as simple as choosing an item from a menu. To apply a preset: 1. Open an image in SmartScale. 2. Choose a SmartScale preset from the Preset drop down menu located on the lower left of the SmartScale window. 3. Click Apply or Import to scale the image and return it to Photoshop. If a preset value forces an image to a new aspect ratio, SmartScale warns you and gives you two choices for how to proceed.
Default presets
The default presets are commonly used scale settings, and set the scale of the image to common document sizes. To use a default preset, choose it from the Preset drop down menu. The following document size presets are installed with SmartScale:
Letter Legal Tabloid Postcard 5x7 8 x 10 Poster Large Poster XLarge A3 A4 B3 B4 B5 8.5 x 11 inches 8.5 x 14 inches 11 x 17 inches 4 x 6 inches 5 x 7 inches 8 x 10 inches 24 x 36 inches 27 X 41 inches 297 x 420 mm 210 x 297 mm 353 x 500 mm 250 x 353 mm 176 x 250 mm

Saving presets
Saving a preset can help you automate frequent scaling tasks. To save a preset: 1. Open an image in SmartScale. 2. Choose scale and detail settings. 3. Choose File > Save Preset As... or Press Command+S (Mac) or Ctrl+S (Win) 4. Enter a preset name in the dialog box and click OK. The new preset is added to the Preset drop down box.
Sharing presets
Since presets are saved as files, you can copy and share them with other users. To do so, copy the preset file from your SmartScale presets folder and put them into the other users preset folder. The preset files are saved in a directory named pxl SmartScale Presets. The location of this directory varies with the operating system. To locate preset files, use the search feature of your operating system to locate the directory.
When SmartScale is installed on a Macintosh system, default presets are installed in the preferences folder for only the current OS. For example, if SmartScale is installed on OS X, the default presets are installed in the OS X preferences folder. Photoshop 6 running in classic mode searches for presets in the OS 9 preference folder. Therefore, default presets are not available unless you copy the preference files from one preference folder to another. New presets that you create are not affected.
Deleting presets
To delete a preset: 1. Open an image in SmartScale. 2. Choose File > Preferences... 3. Click the Presets tab 4. Click to highlight the preset name. 5. Press the Delete key to remove the preset.
Presets are unique to each user, and therefore are unique to each Windows and Mac login name. Creating a new preset does so only for the current user on a machine.

Metadata support
SmartScale supports metadata that is supported by Photoshop. When scaling the current image in Photoshop all metadata is retained.
In Windows, Photoshop 7 supports metadata for TIFF, JPEG, EPS and PDF files. On the Mac, Photoshop 7 supports metadata for all file types. Photoshop 6 does not support EXIF or XMP metadata.
After the image is open in Photoshop, it can be saved in any file format supported by Photoshop.
The PixelLive (VFZ) file format can be used for superior lossless image compression. Use the PixelLive protected (PFZ) file format to add password protection.
When images are imported by or exported from SmartScale, only the following types of metadata are supported. Support is based upon the file type. File Type PixelLive (VFZ) PixelLive protected (PFZ) TIFF JPEG IPTC XMP EXIF
3. In the Save dialog box, enter a file name, choose a file format and click Save.

THE PIXELLIVE AND PIXELLIVE PROTECTED FILE FORMATS Powerful file compression
SmartScale has a powerful built-in compression file format, PixelLive (VFZ). This file format is a compressed format that provides visually lossless compression for images. You have a choice of six compression levels to fit your varying file size and quality needs. Even at the highest quality level, PixelLive files are reduced to about 60% of comparable TIFF file size. Image files at this quality level can be converted from another file format into PixelLive files and then back to the original file format without any loss in quality. The highest compression level produces proof quality images that are easily emailed.
Password protection
A layer of password protection is added with the PixelLive protected (PFZ) file format. PixelLive protected files can be saved from Photoshop or SmartScale. Password authentication in PixelLive protected files can be stored locally with the file, or on a server. Local protection embeds one username and password in the image file. Server protection uses a PixelSafe server to store and verify security information on a server. This technology allows server administrators to selectively give view and modification rights to groups of users. Support for PixelSafe servers is built into SmartScale. The software to run a PixelSafe server and create user identities is sold separately. For more information, please contact info@extensis.com.

Troubleshooting
MEMORY MANAGEMENT
SmartScale uses your computers physical and virtual memory to store and scale images. Unlike the use of scratch disks by Photoshop to supplement physical RAM, SmartScale uses the same virtual memory that your operating system uses. The allocation of RAM and configuring of virtual memory varies with each system configuration. The following pages explain how to allocate RAM and increase virtual memory settings for all supported operating systems.
For optimal performance, it is recommended that the Photoshop scratch disk be created on a drive that does not contain the virtual memory of the operating system.
Image height and width The height and width in pixels is displayed in the Pixel Dimensions group box of the Image Size palette. Channels This is the number of channels, not including any alpha channels. This can be found on the channels palette in Photoshop. Do not count the combined channel at the top of the list.

Troubleshooting
Mac OS X native
If you are running an OS X native version of Photoshop (version 7 or higher), your memory is managed by the operating system. OS X creates virtual memory on the startup disk of your computer, and can use up to 4 GB if necessary. To ensure that SmartScale has enough memory, make sure that there is a large amount of free space on the startup disk.
Mac OS 9
Like other classic applications, Photoshop running in OS 9 requires you to allocate sufficient memory for SmartScale to run smoothly. To supplement your physical RAM, it is also highly recommended that you turn virtual memory on. To allocate more memory to Photoshop: 1. Locate the Photoshop application in the Finder. 2. Highlight the icon and press Command+I to open the Info dialog box.
3. In the Show drop down box choose Memory. 4. Increase the Minimum and Preferred sizes to increase the amount of memory available to Photoshop.

THE EXTENSIS MENU Why cant I see the Extensis menu in my copy of Photoshop?
The Extensis menu is available in Photoshop 6.01 and later as long as the correct files are installed. Confirm that the Extensis Library file is present in your Plug-ins folder.
The Extensis menu is present, but SmartScale is not in the menu list
Check that the following files are installed in the proper locations: For Macintosh:
Are there other ways to access SmartScale besides the Extensis menu?
You can access SmartScale from the Extensis menu, but can also access the equivalent commands from the Import and Automate menus in Photoshop. The equivalent to Extensis > Scale Image from File... is File > Import Extensis pxl SmartScale 1.0.... The equivalent to Extensis > Scale Current Image... File > Automate > pxl SmartScale 1.0.... For Windows:
Photoshop Elements does not include an Adobe Photoshop Only folder, therefore the Extensis Library and pxl SmartScale 1.0 folder should be installed directly inside the Plug-ins folder.
Check that the language version of Photoshop that you are operating is the same as the language version of SmartScale. For instance, the Extensis menu will appear in the French version of Photoshop, but pxl SmartScale 1.0 will not show up in the Extensis menu if you are running the English version of SmartScale.
