AJA KONA 5.0 - Manual (Page 84)

Using Photoshop CS5
Adobe Photoshop CS5 (not included with KONA) accepts KONA plugins and drivers to closely
integrate KONA functions into the application. After you install the KONA software on your
workstation, all you need to do to begin using it is to become familiar with the Plugins and
how Photoshop works with KONA.
With Photoshop open, you’ll go to the File pull-down menu and select Import>AJA Capture to
set up your workflow, source device control, and other KONA options. Then access
Export>AJA Preview Setup to configure the preview output to your monitor. Quick capture
and simple send-to-preview functions are also available in these menus.
The manual you are reading does not provide operational information for Adobe Photoshop
CS5. Please read the Photoshop user documentation provided with the application for
information on configuration and operation. The chapter you are reading addresses
configuration and setup unique to use of KONA with Adobe Photoshop CS5.
AJA Image Capture in Photoshop File>Import Menus
The KONA Photoshop plugin is a software application that is integrated into the Photoshop
CS5 application and is accessed under the File menu. The Capture plugin provides you with
standard tapedeck style play/record functions, status display, and configuration options. The
Preview plugin allows you to adjust output formats and view your current project frame on a
monitor connected to a KONA output before rendering to file.
In this section, you will read about the various pull-down options, hot-text entry fields, and
play/record controls and how they interact.
