Basic scanning
The thumbnail display allows the selection of
single or multiple images for prescanning or
scanning. Selected images can also be affected
by the scanner software functions such as the
rotate buttons.
Simply click on a thumbnail to select it; the bor-
der will darken to indicate selection.
To select multiple images, press and hold the
control key (Windows) or command key
(Macintosh) and then click on each image to be
scanned; the selected frames will have a dark
border. To deselect an image, click on the
thumbnail a second time while holding the con-
trol key (Windows) or command key (Macintosh). To select consecutive images, press and hold
the shift key and then click on the first and last images of the series. Press the control key
(Windows) or command key (Macintosh) and A key at the same time to select all frames.
Making an index scan
Index scans can be made of 35mm or APS film. An index scan cannot be made with single-frame
medium format film holders. The type of film holder available vary with scanner model.
With a loaded film holder in the scanner, click the index-scan button in the main window to start
the scan. All the frames in the film holder will be
scanned. The frame number of the index scan
corresponds to the frame number in the film
holder. Images can be prescanned or scanned
without making an index scan.
To cancel the index scan, click the cancel button
in the small dialog box that appears during the
scan, or press the escape key (Windows), or
press the command key and period (.) at the
same time (Macintosh).
Index thumbnails will remain in the display until another index scan is made or the film format and
type are changed. To initialize the index display and remove the current thumbnails press the con-
trol key (Windows) or command key (Macintosh) together with the shift and R keys.
