Scanning 40 1 2 3 4 5 FilmGet FS User’s Guide Previewing to Inspect the Images Once you have selected and adjusted the frames in the thumbnail window, the next step is to switch to the main window and preview to inspect the images. You can only preview one frame at a time. Previewing Click the [Preview] button to initiate a preview scan of the selected frame. The preview image will appear in the preview area. To preview other frames, switch to the thumbnail window, select another frame and repeat the preview procedure. • Select one frame at the thumbnail window before previewing. If multiple frames are selected or if no frames are selected at the thumbnail window, the [Preview] button will be grayed out and previewing will not be available. If the “Insufficient hard disk space” message or a similar message appears during the preview scan, it means that your hard disk is too full to store the data for the preview scan. Delete unnecessary files from the hard disk to free sufficient space and reinitiate the preview scan. Adjustments, such as brightness (See p. 46), are reflected immediately in the preview image. Please note, however, that the preview scan is only an approximation of how the final scan will appear. The end result may differ slightly. If you resize the main window (See p. 24), the preview image size in the preview area is immediately changed to match the new window size. The preview progress bar will be displayed. Click the [Cancel] button if you wish to cancel the preview scan. Preview Area

Scanning 45 1 2 3 4 5 FilmGet FS User’s Guide Adjusting the Scan Settings For what purpose will the scanned images be used? Will they be printed out? Or simply displayed on a monitor? If the purpose is undecided, scan at default settings. When FilmGet FS is first installed, images are scanned with file mode settings (scanning settings for storage in files). See page 94 “Default Settings.” If the purpose is clear, set the detailed settings by selecting the various modes in the scan settings section. You can set the scan settings independently for each frame, or you can set all the frames to the same conditions.

Scanning 47 1 2 3 4 5 FilmGet FS User’s Guide Selecting the Scan Area A scan area selection frame will appear in the preview area. When FilmGet FS is first installed, the selected area is approximately 90% of the preview area. You can initiate the final scan without changing this selection frame.

Selecting the Scan Area Click the selector tool on the toolbar and drag the mouse cursor (which will change into a ‘+’ shape) across the preview image to enclose the scan area with the scan area selection frame. Here, “drag” means to move the mouse cursor with the left button held down (or to move the mouse with the button held down for the Macintosh version). You can drag the cursor in any direction. If you do not specify a scan area, the scan area selection frame displayed in the preview area will be used as the scan area. Scan Area Selection Frame
