New Hasselblad Flextight Workflow

New Computer for Hasselblad Scanning 

The hasselblad work station has received an upgrade. We have changed the computer from the old iMac we were using to a newer Windows computer that allows for internet access and more updated functionality. Due to this switch to PC, we came up with a workflow that will allow for students to transfer their work from the hasselblad station to a regular Mac station in the lab. We wanted this work around students' external hard drives might not be configured for compatibility with PCs. If you run into the issue of your external drive not being recognized, follow the below workflow.

• Click on the icon on the left side of the desktop called Hasselblad Share.
