USING THIS PDF FILE This PDF file has been developed to make access to different sections as easy as possible. Any words that appear in red underline can be clicked to link you to another part of this document. [. . . ] You should not press any buttons on the scanner. You should not disconnect the scanner until the upgrade is complete. Help Click to open an electronic version (in PDF format) of this user manual. Once in this manual, you can click on entries in the Contents or the Index, or on cross-references in the text, to jump directly to that material in the manual. Exit Click to close the scanner software window. When you click Exit to close the scanner software, if you have prescanned frames and have not performed a final scan on all of those frames, a confirmation box is displayed. If you choose not to save the settings with a name (refer to Reference ­ Software, Manage Scan Profile for additional information), the current settings are still retained by the software and become the opening software settings the next time you enter the software. However, in this case you will not be able to recall them at a later time as you can by saving them with a name. For an explanation of the effect of this button when canceling prescans or scans of multiple images, refer to Working with Multiple Selected Images. Status Bar The status bar is located across the bottom of the window. It displays scanner status messages and a brief description of each control appears here when the pointer is passed over the control. 61 SETTINGS TAB The Settings tab presents general controls for the scanning process. All of the settings you choose on this tab are automatically saved from work session to work session. Therefore, when you've completed your scanning and returned to Photoshop, the next time you use the scanner, your most recent settings will be in effect. In addition, as explained later in this section, you can save settings ­ called a profile ­ from all three tabs with a name of your choice (for example "Winter Outdoors"); you can then recall those named settings. This feature allows you to quickly reset all values on this tab to a set of values that you previously saved. Image Area The preview image area allows you to determine if additional adjustments are required before you perform a final scan. When you perform a prescan, either by clicking Prescan Frame or Prescan Strip, the first image prescanned is selected and displayed in the preview 62 image area of this tab. If you select another image by clicking on its thumbnail in the filmstrip thumbnail area at the top of the window, the first image is deselected and that new image replaces the image previously displayed here. As you make changes -- for example adjusting color with the click pointers, or making changes on any of the three tabs -- the results of those changes are reflected in this image. For an explanation of working with multiple selected thumbnails, refer to Working with Multiple Selected Images. Units and Rulers The Units button appears to the upper-left of the image area, at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal rulers. Click the Units button to toggle between centimeters (cm), inches (in), and pixels (px). The units you choose here are used in all software fields that use a unit of measure. Cropping You crop an image before scanning by dragging the pointer from corner to corner across the area you want to crop; a crop box surrounds the selected area. You can resize, move, or remove a crop box as follows: To resize an existing crop box, move the pointer over any edge or corner of the crop box; then drag to the desired size. To move an existing crop box, move the pointer inside the crop box; then drag the box to the desired location. To remove the crop box, click outside of the crop box on the preview image. For an explanation of how the crop box works with Width, Height, Lock, Magnify, Resolution, and File Size, refer to Output Size and Input Values. 63 For an explanation of how the crop box works with multiple selected thumbnails, refer to Working with Multiple Selected Images. Film Type (Negative, Reversal, B&W, and Film Terms) Use the radio buttons to select color Negative, color Reversal (slide film), or B&W negative (black & white).
