Scaling Scaling lets you create larger or smaller images from the original source image. Take note of the following: · Keep the scaling at 100% if you are outputting at the same size (e. g. , a 4" x 5" original to be output at the same size). · Reduce the scaling if you are outputting your image at a smaller size (e. g. , a 4" x 5" original to be output to 2" x 2. 5"). Increase the scaling if outputting at a larger size. To choose the scaling percentage, click the up/down arrow next to the scaling box, or enter a value in the scaling edit box. If you wish, you can also choose from a menu of predefined Scaling settings. To do this, point your mouse to the words "Scaling" in the Settings window, and choose the setting you wish from the drop-down menu that appears. · Film scale mapping: Choose your image material and the output dimension. For example, "35mm to 5" x 7"" means your image source is 35mm film, and output size is 5" x 7". · Add / Remove Custom Setting: These options let you customize and create your own image-mapping scale for use in subsequent scans. Scaling is also affected by your resolution setting. When you change resolution and specify a value that has no exact equivalent for scaling, the scaling may be affected and adjusts itself to the nearest allowed value. For instance, if your resolution is 100, your scaling becomes 99 (instead of a full 100), because that is the closest scaling equivalent, given the resolution value. D. Image Size The Image Size field indicates how big the file will be when you accept the dimensions shown in the edit boxes, together with the resolution setting that you have selected. The resulting file size depends on the image type (color, grayscale, etc); resolution; and dimensions of the image. E. Unit of Measurement The Unit of Measurement lets you select the desired unit (inch, cm, mm, point, pica, pixel) for your image dimensions. Important: Make sure you select the correct unit of measurement before entering any of the values for width or height in the Scan Frame Settings or Output Settings. Reference: The Settings Window 65 Locks The Locks control the behavior of the Scan Frame settings and the Output settings. A third Lock lets you keep the proportion for image width and height. C. Scan Frame lock This lets you lock in the settings of your scan frame, so that the width and height dimensions of the frame are always preserved no matter where you move the frame in your preview image. If you know the exact input size for your image, or if you wish to "lock" the settings of your scan frame to a particular size, enter the Scan Frame width and height values first, then click the Scan Frame lock. Your scan frame will be "fixed" at those values, so even if you move the scan frame around the preview image, the dimensions of the frame itself will remain unchanged. B. Output lock Note: The Scan Frame Lock and Output Lock are each mutually exclusive. [. . . ] In the Settings window, check the "Automatic Color Restoration" option.
