HOW TO SCAN SLIDES
STEP 3 – Optional Prescan
Select the “Prescan Current Frame“ to prescan the slide currently loaded into
the scanner or “Prescan...“ to prescan slide or slides at specic positions in the
magazine.
Pre-Scanning should be used to manually adjust color/edit settings for each slide
before doing the nal scan. It’s possible to set dierent settings for each slide to
be scanned.
STEP 4 – Set Scan Settings
a. Resolution
The default scanning resolution is 1000dpi, additional resolution options
are listed below.
Notice: Higher scanning resolutions result in greater scanning time and hardisk
space requirements.
b. Color Depth
Choose between 8 and 16bit. A higher color depth setting will result in
a larger range of colors in the nal scanned image.
Scan Mode – Normal mode produces a scan in jpeg format while Quality pro-
duces a non-compressed,“loss-less”TIFF image.
NOTE: Make sure there is enough space available
on the computer when changing the Scanning
Resolution. A high scanning resolution results in
large les that may prove dicult to save.
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
