As you work with the 3f images in the light table, you can load each im-
age into FlexColor to make settings and then save the settings back in the
history for the 3f image. When you have finished making settings for an
entire batch, you can then batch-process all images to save them as TIFF
or JPEG files with your settings applied.
In a production environment, you might choose to store your 3f images
on a shared network drive, allowing any computer that has FlexColor
installed to open and export images for use even while the scan worksta-
tion is busy scanning. Even at sites where there is only one Flextight scan-
ner in use, the FlexColor license agreement permits your organization to
install FlexColor on any number of computers at the site.
Custom Setups and Single Scans
As mentioned above, we usually recommend that you use the 3f workflow
when working with the Batch Feeder. However, you might sometimes
want to use the standard FlexColor batch-scan feature, which enables you
to make several different scans from each original and/or use a different
setup for each scan. The result of this workflow will be a set of TIFF files
with your setups permanently applied to each of them, rather than the
more flexible 3f files.
The standard batch-scan workflow is fully described in the FlexColor
User’s Guide. An example of how to use this feature when you have the
Batch Feeder attached is given below, which includes some specific advice
for using the Feeder.
Run FlexColor and click on the
Batch Scan
button to open the

window.
