Part 3: FlexColor for Scanners
Scanning with 3F
To open the window, click on the 3F button in the tool panel on the left side of
the main FlexColor window.
File Names and Locations
Use the settings at the top of the
Scan 3F
window to control where your 3F files will
be stored and how they will be named.
Use the 3F File Destination setting to select a parent folder in which to save
your 3F files.
If you would like to create a new sub-folder each time you use the Scan 3F
window, mark the
Add job folder check box. Then, each time you begin a
new 3F batch scan, FlexColor will create a new sub-folder below the
Destination folder and save the new scans there. Either way, the contents of
the most recently used folder will be displayed in the FlexColor Thumbnails
window immediately after the batch is finished. This function is most useful
when you are using a batch feeder to scan many images at once.
Use the Image Name field to specify a name for your image(s). Each image
will be given a name based on this value plus a unique number, which ensures
that each image will have a unique file name when you are scanning a batch.
Auto TIFF Export
If you like, you can automatically export TIFF versions of your scans as you make
them. Each scan will then produce both a 3F file for your archive, plus a TIFF file in
which the default setup (plus optional auto-crop and/or auto-level settings) have been
permanently applied. The TIFF files will be saved in a sub-folder automatically
created below the destination or job folder established above.
To enable this auto-export feature, mark the
Save final TIFF’s
check box.
Choosing Setups
Use the pop-up menus in the middle of the Scan 3F window to establish the setup for
the scan. These settings will control the initial appearance of your 3F files, but you
can change these later before exporting. The following controls are provided:
Film Type : select the type of original you are scanning (auto, positive,
negative or black & white negative). When you use the auto function, the
scanner will analyze the image and then decide if it is a color positive or color
negative; it will then use the setup you have selected from the
Positive Setup
or Negative Setup pop-up menus, as appropriate. The auto function cannot
detect black & white negatives (it will probably apply the positive setup if you
try it), so you should scan these separately. The selection you make here will
affect the selection of setups available in the
Scan 3F window.
Setup
: this setting is only available when you set the
Film Type
to something
other than “Auto”. Use it to select the setup that you wish to apply to your 3F
