Hint • For a slide mount select, 35 mm Color Pos. • To change the film type, execute preview again. Film Characteristics The various film types have distinctly different characteristics.
S T E P 2 Previewing Before an image is scanned, it is advisable to preview the image. The Preview function will read the image once and present the entire film image in the Preview window. Use the Preview window to review the image as it will be scanned and to make any required adjustments to the color balance or scan area. Operating Procedures Place the film in the scanner. • Either 35 mm film, slide mounted film, or IX240 film can be placed in the scanner.
S T E P 2 Setting the Scan Mode When an image is scanned, it is read as a collection of “dots.” The scan mode that is selected determines how each of these dots is represented in the output. The following five scan modes are available. Black & White Mode The Black & White mode can reproduce a dot as either black or white. Half-tone colors, such as gray, are automatically reproduced as either black or white also.
24bit Color Mode In the 24bit Color mode, each dot is formed by assigning it eight bits to represent each of the RGB or red, green and blue colors, which add up to 24 bits. In this mode, a dot can be expressed in approximately 16,770,000 distinct shades. This mode is useful for reproducing color prints, but generates files that are even larger than the 12bit Grayscale mode. Use this mode when the image is to be printed on a color printer.
S T E P 2 To Set the Scan Mode Select the Scan Mode box on the control panel and choose the desired scan mode. Click the box to open the pull-down menu. Hint Scanning the same image in the five different scan modes produces different file sizes.

S T E P 4 Adjusting and Editing Scanned Images Scanned images may be corrected for brightness and color tone or edited in a variety of ways. The potential adjustments vary with the type of scan mode utilized in the original scan. Adjustments to the scanned image may be made after the image is previewed.
Optimum Adjustments for Image Quality (Using color and film correction) Are you satisfied with the quality of the preview image? You can create images of acceptable quality with the Plug-in module FS 3.6 default settings. However, if there is a problem with the original film that requires correction, you can use the color correction or film correction features to correct the problem. This section provides an overview of the methods you can use to correct minor problems in images.
Color Correction Plug-in module FS 3.6 scans and builds images in increments of single, square dots. Each dot contains the attributes for the brightness and color of the image (tone). Plugin module FS 3.6 provides six tools which you can use to correct color in images. Histogram (p. 48) A histogram allows you to view how much brightness falls into each brightness setting.
Gamma (p. 56) Gamma allows you to enhance the overall image. Use Gamma adjustment when the color of the original does not match the color of the displayed image. You can use Gamma with the following types of files: 8-bit grayscale, 12-bit grayscale, 24-bit color and 36bit color. Threshold (p. 58) Threshold adjusts the brightness of an image by digitizing it i.e. determining which gray pixels become black and which become white. You can use Threshold only with a monochrome document.
S T E P 4 Color Correction - Histogram Setting The data comprising an image contains a variety of brightness settings ranging from shadows to highlights. These settings are represented in Plug-in module FS by values ranging between 0 and 255. You can use the histogram to adjust the values assigned to particular dot to either 0 or 255, to change the distribution of brightness settings and to control the contrast.
S T E P 4 To Adjust a Histogram Automatically Specify the area of the image (the entire area to be scanned) for which a histogram will be generated. See Aspect Ratio (p. 28). The histogram will not display correctly if an extremely small area is selected. To select small areas, first expand the display with the Zoom In button. See Zooming (p. 39). Click on the [Auto Correction] button. The Histogram is automatically corrected. ➟ To Adjusting a Histogram Manually Click the [Color Correction] button.
S T E P 4 Color Correction - Brightness and Contrast Settings Adjusting the brightness and contrast sliders corrects the color tone. If the original image is too dark, too light or indistinct, use these settings to correct the image. The method is applicable to 8-bit grayscale, 12-bit grayscale, 24-bit color (when ColorSync™ is off) and 36-bit color images. Adjusting Brightness Adjust the brightness of the entire image.

S T E P 4 Film Correction - Focus Correction Film placed within a scanner may shift position to a small extent, throwing the focus out when scanning or previewing. To scan correctly, it may be necessary to adjust the focus. This can be accomplished manually or automatically. You are recommended to try auto focus first. If an image remains blurred, you can then try to focus it manually. Auto Focus The auto focus function automatically corrects the focus.
S T E P 4 To Select Focus Click on the [Film] menu and select the [Focus] option. The Manual Focus dialog box will appear. Click the [Auto Focus] button to select automatic image focus. If you want to select manual focus, click the [Manual Focus] button, then adjust the focus manually. Focus Setting Dialog Box Drag the slider left or right or click on the left or right direction arrows to change the focus setting. The value in the box will change as the slider moves or direction arrows are clicked.
Film Correction — Exposure Adjustment Film is scanned by collecting the light that is passed through it. This makes it possible to adjust the brightness of the image by changing the amount of light (exposure) used to scan it. This is adjusted by changing the scan speed. With the Auto setting in Plug-in module FS, exposure adjustment is automatic. This setting should be used for most scanning jobs.
Procedure Click on the [Film] menu and select [Exposure]. • The Exposure Setting dialog box will appear. Adjust the exposure Exposure Setting dialog box (for FS2710) To select Auto, click the check box. These settings can be adjusted when Auto is not selected.
