After you activate DPC mode ("flip" a bid to DCP-Mode on the Image Tab), the interface changes to display all of the Digital Production Control functions. This Quick Start Guide will explain all of the new buttons, menus and screens you will see and prepare you for using the program more efficiently.

Quick Start Guides

At the top of the first article in each section/chapter is a link (or two) to Quick Start Guides for that section/chapter. These are PDFs that you can print and use as a checklist of sorts.
