30 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
border will darken to indicate selection.
Making an index scan
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 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 control key (Windows) or command key (Macintosh) together
with the shift and R keys.
Selecting index thumbnails
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 control 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.
