Please note : With older cardboard mounts the optional Pre-Scan
can put a lot of wear and tear on already decaying slide mounts,
pre-scan is ONLY required if you plan to pre-edit all or some of the
images manually before final scanning, otherwise use the available
automatic correction features to do it for you, and skip
prescanning altogether

STEP 4 – Set Scan Settings
a. Resolution (Scan dpi)
The default scanning resolution is 1000dpi, additional resolution
options are listed below.
Notice: Higher scanning resolutions result in greater scanning time
and hard disk space requirements.
Examples of resolution to use:
Here are the minimum resolutions to display slide shows on an HDTV with high quality
1080p TV = 1500 dpi minimum to achieve a 1920 x 1279 pixel image,
4K TV = 2840 minimum to achieve a 3840 x 2558 pixel image, 4K TV resolution is 3840 x 2160
8K TV = 5700 minimum to achieve a 7730 x 5113 pixel image, 8K TV Resolution is 7680×4320
(for additional resolution information regarding printing see page 30)
b. Color Depth
The Film Scanner color depth is 48 bit true color
The scanning software has the capability of selecting 8 bit color mode or 16 bit
color mode when scanning, This will produce 24 or 48 bit color images, 8 bits
or 16 bits per Red, Green and Blue color channels
Example:
8 bit mode = 8 Red, 8 Green, and 8 Blue for a total of 24 bit color
16 bit mode = 16 Red, 16 Green, and 16 Blue for a total of 48 bit color
Note: olor image file size of different resolutions and color depths:
Scans include Auto Balance and Digital Noise
Reduction on:
Processor: AMD 9650 Quad- ore 2.3GHz
Memory: 2GB
System type: Vista 64 bit
Scan Mode – Normal: Produces a scan in jpeg format
Quality Mode - pro duces a non-compressed, “loss-less” TIFF image.

STEP 5 – Setting Scan Preferences
Select Scan - Preference - Positive - Scan Setting
(Negative and B&W options are only for negative strips that have been cut and mounted into slide holders))
“Prescan Resolution“ - Default pre-scan resolution, if you select the optional pre-
scan to pre-edit slides before scanning the higher the pre-scan resolution the larger
sample you have to work with for pre-editing before the final scan..
(Please note with older cardboard mounts the optional Pre-Scan can put a lot of wear and tear on
already decaying slide mounts, pre-scan is ONLY required if you plan to pre-edit all or some of the
images manually before final scanning.)
“Color Depth“ – 8 bit (24bit) or 16 bit (48bit) Default color depth
“Scan Mode“ – Default scan mode while scanning. Quality mode is for x-rays, medical slides etc.,
normal is for standard slide images
Configuring Scan settings
1. Select Browse and choose the designated folder to save the scanned
image to
2. Enter the file name.
3. Trailing Index after Base File Name Digits X: Defines the length of the
file name and numbering sequence up to 6 digits Example D i g i t s 3 (D e f a u l t )
r e s u l t s i n a f i l e n a m e i m a ge 0 0 1 b y s e le ct i n g d i gi t s 1 - 6 y o u r f i l e n am e w i l l

4. Options - Use Film Index: Use the number assigned to the
slide based on its position in the cartridge.
User Defined Start Number: Enter a specific start number, better for archiving and
keeping track of your own sequential scan numbers
5. hoose the file type, “TIF” or “JPG”. (TIF un-compressed or JPG
ompressed - hoose image quality for JPEG. (20-100) 100
offers the least amount of compression, best quality, JPG only
outputs to an 8bit formatted image even when scanned using 16bit mode

Advanced Settings
”Auto Exposure” - Attempts to find the correct exposure to get
the widest range of whites and blacks while putting the middle
grays at around the middle of the data range.
”Auto Balance” - Using the image histogram to balance RGB
channels. It estimates images’ color cast and adjust the images
accordingly
“Auto Contrast” - The scanner software analyzes the data and
automatically adjusts the Setting for the White and Black Points.
”Digital Noise Reduction” – Applies a filter, reducing the film
grain.
”Multipass Xposure” - When enabled multi-exposure performs a triple scan to
obtain the best possible image, this process captures the three individual scans, first
a normal pass then two more scans to highlight the shadow details to expose the
darker areas more fully,
the software then intuitively calculates the final scan, which now contains the data
from all three scans.
”Multiple sampling” - onfigure the settings to scan a single image (multiple times)
2x, 4x, 8x or 16x for the highest quality output. Please note this greatly increases scan
time. With multisampling image noise is a thing of the past.
(Multi Sampling will greatly increase the scan times for each slide)
Default Scanning Area
Adjust the scanning size as well as adjust the “Scan Offset” setting to move
the image position of slide.
Magic Touch / Auto Color
Enable / disable Magic Touch and Auto olor adjustment to scans.
Magic Touch I s a powerful dust and scratch removal technology that does
away with the hassle of learning complex and tedious software techniques.
Being hardware-based, it works seamlessly with the scanning process to ensure
the best possible results when bringing images into the computer. Dust,
scratches and other flaws are intelligently detected and eliminated, restoring
the image to its original beauty.
Scanning with Magic Touch requires longer scanning times, the feature is turned
off by default.
Auto Color takes the guesswork out of the scanning process to streamline the
workflow and achieve the best results. Proprietary color enhancement technology is
applied to scanned images to provide the most accurate color adjustment, resulting in
vibrant images with optimal brightness, contrast and saturation.

STEP 6 – Scan
To Scan a Single slide - hoose “Scan urrent Frame” to scan the slide
loaded into the scanner or “Multi-Scan…” to input the number of
slides to be scanned based on their location in the magazine.
1. Scan urrent Frame > Scan the current slide.
2. Scan Selected to File > Scan the selected slide(s) to a specified path .
(Pre-scanning required)
3. Multi-Scan to File… > Scan slide(s) numbers and/or range. Set this for 1 -50 slides, if
you have less slides in the tray, count how many then enter 1-? and the number of slides
currently in the tray, Example 10, then enter 1-10
STEP 7 – Exit
All scanned images will be saved to the directory location set
previously, the factory default locations are:
Windows: :\Users\[YOUR NAME\Documents;
MA : Mac HD\Users\[YOUR NAME]
Select “Scan > Exit” to close the software. Scanned image files can be
open/edited with any image editing software.
