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 bor-
der 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 but-
ton 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.
