<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="4" color="#000000"><strong><< 2.1 Setup,
Starting BlackMagic & getting an Image >></strong></font></p>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"><strong>This section outlines
important tasks of installing, setting-up, and opening an image (to colour) in BlackMagic.</strong></font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><em><strong>Important: As with any other
computer software, you should first of all become familiar with various features (at least
the important ones) before attempting any large or complex projects. We recommend that you
begin exploring with one of the sample images provided. Once you get the hang of the
program, you may then stress test it with larger or more complex images of your own.</strong></em></font></p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">First things first: Ensure
that you have the computer configuration that complies with the minimum requirements to
run BlackMagic as specified under "Specification and System Requirements"
section. If not, please take the necessary steps (such as upgrade to the specification)
before proceeding further. Otherwise, continue as below.</font></p>
<ul type="circle">
<li><p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">One very important
consideration while using BlackMagic is your COLOUR DISPLAY SETTINGS. Your monitor/
graphics card should be set to display at 24 bit (or higher) colour depth, at a minimum of
800 X 600 screen resolution. If your computer configuration matches the outlined "<a href="bmdoc1.html" target="_self">specification & system requirements</a>",
there should not be a problem, except may be the settings are not proper. To ensure proper
settings, follow the following steps:</font></p>
</li>
<li><p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">click on the
"start" icon on the Windows task-bar to bring up the menu, then select
"settings", then "control panel";</font></p>
</li>
<li><p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">from the "control
panel" folder, double-click on the "display" program icon;</font></p>
</li>
<li><p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">from the following dialog
box, click on the "settings" tab;</font></p>
</li>
<li><p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">ensure that the
"colors" box shows "True Color (24 bit)" or "True Color (32
bit)"; if not select the appropriate setting from the drop down list;</font></p>
</li>
<li><p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">ensure that the "screen
area" box shows a resolution of at least 800 X 600 (1024 X 768 recommended); if not,
move the control slider to right until it is so;</font></p>
</li>
<li><p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">click "OK" until
you get out of the Display Control; you should be given the option to "effect"
the new display settings without restarting the computer; choose this; if it does not
adjust the display correctly, you may have to restart the computer.</font></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"><strong>Once the display
settings are set correctly, adjust the <em>Brightness, Contrast, and the Colour
temperature </em>such that the colours on the desktop look just right - not too dark - not
too light - not too saturated - etc. You may need to play with these settings a bit after
you have colourized your first photo. Remember, BlackMagic uses natures own palettes (as
in the TimeBrush RLC); if the colours seem not to be OK, its likely due to one of the
points discussed above. You can calibrate the settings of your display/ monitor by viewing
some colour photos on your screen, and making adjustments until the colours look right.</strong></font></p>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">Before you begin using the
software, you should install it on the hard-drive of your computer. For specific
instructions on doing this, please refer to the "readme.txt" file in your
program archive - but mostly, it should be as simple as executing a self-extracting
archive and following on-screen prompts, or un-zipping all files into an empty folder (in
case of a "zip" archive). You may also create a short-cut to the program on your
desk-top; to do this, simply open the <em>BlackMagic </em>folder in the Explorer, then
"right click" on the program file (generally called BlackMagic.exe) to bring up
the pop-up menu. Select the item marked "Send to Desktop" - that's it! You are
now ready to begin your Time Travel into the past.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">Start BlackMagic just the way
you would any other Windows application; double click on the 'desktop' shortcut, or from
the "Start" menu, or by double clicking the program icon in Windows Explorer.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2"><font color="#000000">You should now be
presented with a screen as below (actually, this is the </font><font color="#FF0000"><strong>*PE
</strong></font><font color="#000000">screen; the one you see might show less features/
options depending upon the BlackMagic version you are running). However, that does not
matter at this stage.</font></font></p>
<p align="center"><font face="Arial" size="2"><img src="bmdoc211.jpg" alt="BlackMagic Main-screen" WIDTH="798" HEIGHT="385"></font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Irrespective of the version, please take note
of the first two buttons on the top menu panel of the screen, marked <strong><em>"Load
Image" </em></strong>& <em><strong>"Scan Image"</strong></em>; that's
the first task whenever you start-up BlackMagic - get an image to colour. You do this by
clicking on either of these buttons, depending upon where you want to get the image from.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">The <em><strong>"Load Image" </strong></em>button
brings up a regular Windows "Open File" dialog; use it to locate the source
black & white image on any of your connected drives, then "open" it; the
source photo will appear in a secondary (child) window within the above displayed screen.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">The <strong><em>"Scan Image" </em></strong>button
is meant for acquiring the source photo that you may already have in printed form. You
would need a "twain" standard scanner setup & connected properly to your
computer for this to work. If you have such a device connected, then clicking on this
button will bring up a dialog that will vary depending the brand/ model/ etc of your
scanner. Make the correct choices to scan your photo into the computer; for details, refer
to your scanner user guide/ documentation. If you do all that is required, then the source
photo will appear in a secondary (child) window within the above displayed screen. Some
more tips on scanning are available in the <font color="#0059B3"><a href="bmdoc24.html">Advanced
Tips & Tricks</a> </font>section.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Depending upon the size of the source photo,
it may take a while to initialize it; a progress meter tracks this process; wait for this
progress bar to disappear, before proceeding.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Also based on your source image size, there
might be "scroll bars" on either/ both the main screen (above) and/ or the child
window containing the source photo. Play with these, and drag the child window around
until you have positioned it as per your preference (try and maximize the visible portion
of the photo by resizing the child window.</font></p>
<p align="left"><font face="Arial" size="2">Now you are ready to start colourizing. </font></p>
