Part 3: FlexColor for Scanners
Scanning with 3F
scan(s). The setups listed in this pop-up menu will only be those that match the
film type you have selected; for example, if you set
Film Type to “Positive”,
then you will only see positive setups in the
Setup
pop-up menu.
Positive Setup : this setting is only available when you set the Film Type to
“Auto”. Use it to select the initial setup that you wish to use for images that
the auto function identifies as color positives.
Negative Setup : this setting is only available when you set the Film Type to
“Auto”. Use it to select the initial setup that you wish to use for images that
the auto function identifies as color negatives.
Frame : set this to match the format of original holder you are using. For most
new scanners, you can set this to “Auto”, in which case the scanner will detect
the format automatically. If you scanner does not support this, or if you do not
want to leave this up to the scanner, then select the appropriate holder from the
list provided. Note also that this option may not be available for some
combinations of equipment and settings, such as when a Batch Feeder is
attached and enabled (in which case auto frame detection is always used).
Crop : use this function to control how the image(s) should be cropped.
Choose one of the following:
o
Full size : no crop will be made
o
Auto : the software will detect where the edge of each original is and
crop the image accordingly. If you would like to crop slightly inside or
outside of this, then use the
Bleed field to control how far to modify
the crop (in mm on the original surface). Use a negative bleed to make
the crop smaller; positive values make it bigger. This results in a full-
sized 3F file in which a crop is already defined for export.
o
Current Crop : uses the crop size and position currently set for the
preview. This results in a 3F image that only includes the area inside
the current crop, thereby reducing the size of your 3F file. Note that
you must make the current crop based on an actual preview,
not on a 3f
file loaded into the preview window. Note also that when you select
this option, the
Frame
setting becomes disabled; this is because the
frame must be the same as the one used in the preview to set the crop.
If you are using a Batch Feeder (which means that the frame might
change between scans of the batch), then you should only use this
setting if all of your frames are the same, otherwise problems may
occur, such as incorrect crops and even situations in which short
holders are drawn all the way into the scanner.
Auto levels : if you would like to modify the default setups for each image
using the adaptive FlexColor auto function, then mark this check box. The
result will be a fine-tuning of the highlight and shadow settings based on a
software analysis of the image inside the crop.
Note that the various auto settings are most useful when you are using a batch feeder
to scan a batch that includes originals of varying sizes and formats.
