As you work with the 3f images in the light table, you can load each
image into FlexColor to make settings and then save the settings back in
the history for the 3f image. When you have nished making settings for
an entire batch, you can then batch-process all images to save them as
TIFF or JPEG les 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 workstation is busy scanning. Even at sites where there is only one
Flextight scanner in use, the FlexColor license agreement permits your
organization to install FlexColor on any number of computers at the site.
Scanning Individual Slides
As mentioned above, we usually recommend that you use the 3f workow
when working with the Slide Feeder to scan large numbers of slides
for general use. However, when you just need to scan a few slides for a
specic purpose, you might nd it more convenient to use the standard
preview/scan workow, which generates a standard TIFF le right away
without saving a 3f le. You might also use the standard FlexColor
batch-scan feature, which can make nal scans on several dierent slides
and/or with several dierent setups, again by saving directly to TIFF les
rather than 3f.
e standard preview/scan and batch-scan workows are fully described
in the FlexColor User’s Guide. An example of how to use these features
when you have the Slide Feeder attached is given below, which includes
some specic advice for using the Feeder.
