Click OK.

The first PC Exchange dialog box reappears, and the QTK file type has been
assigned to the selected application as a PICT file type. Now you can open
and view the files in any Macintosh program that reads PICT. In addition, if
you open an image in the QuickTake program, you can save it in the other file
formats available on the Macintosh (PICT, JPEG, and TIFF).

Note: If you are transferring Macintosh files to a Windows computer on a
network, transfer only images that are in PICT QuickTake or TIFF format.
If you are transferring Windows files to a Macintosh on a network, transfer
only images with the .QTK extension.

Transferring images from a Macintosh to a Windows computer

1

Make sure Macintosh PC Exchange (or a similar program) has been installed on the

Macintosh.

2

Insert a DOS-formatted disk into a floppy disk drive on the Macintosh.

3

Make sure the image file you want to use is either a TIFF file or a PICT QuickTake file.

Rename the file following DOS naming conventions (for example, a TIFF file might be

named IMAGE01.TIF, and a PICT QuickTake file might be named IMAGE01.QTK).

You can only use two file formats when moving image files from a Macintosh
to a Windows computer–PICT QuickTake and TIFF.

m

Use the TIFF format (*.TIF) if the image you want to use has already been
opened in the PhotoFlash program on the Macintosh. (If necessary, reopen
the file in PhotoFlash and save it as a TIFF file.)

m

Use the PICT QuickTake file format (*.QTK) if you want to copy images
that have not been opened in PhotoFlash directly from your camera to a
DOS-formatted floppy disk. PICT QuickTake is the file format in which
your camera stores image files. Refer to the QuickTake 150 User’s Guide for
Macintosh
for instructions on placing the QuickTake camera on your
desktop and transferring files from the camera.

4

Copy the Macintosh QuickTake files to the floppy disk, and move them to your computer.
