Picture Type


figure 1: The Picture Type Settings

The setting (figure 1) of this pop-up button determines what Snappy will do to the incoming video source when it is processed and displayed on your PC.


Color

This is the default setting for the Image Type option. It simply means that Snappy is not to do anything to the incoming video other than display it.


Black And White

Use this setting if you intend to use a black and white video source with Snappy. If you use this setting with a color video source, Snappy will attempt to remove the color information from the incoming video signal, but you may get stripes or other artifacts in your image.


Color Negative

Use this setting for one of two things: Turning actual color negatives into pictures that will be displayed as color, or turning color video into pictures that will be displayed as color negatives. People with boxes full of color negatives and a light table will quickly learn to appreciate this setting.

Since most color negatives have an orange cast, it will probably be necessary for you to adjust some of the color settings.


Black And White Negative

This feature does for black and white negatives what the Color Negative setting does for color negatives. It turns black and white negatives into pictures that will be displayed as black and white, or black and white video into pictures that will be displayed as black and white negatives.
