[. . . ] If you are scanning a black-and-white film, choose BW Film instead of Color Film to save file size. You can also choose Color RAW (for color originals) or BW RAW (for black-and-white originals) to let MiraPhoto skip the color enhancement process and transfer only the raw data of the scanned image into the application. 20 English Resolution box Resolution is used to decide how delicate the scanner captures the original image. When the original is scanned and turned into a digital image, the scanner captures and records the image in terms of pixels. As more pixels are used to record an image, more details in the image can be represented. If you plan to scan an image using higher resolution, the scanner will record the image with more pixels thus improving the quality of the scanned image. One drawback of scanning at higher resolutions, however, is the amount of memory required to store these images. In addition, as resolution increases above a certain value, the file size of the scanned image will become larger without improving the image quality. It is therefore recommended that you select a scan resolution appropriate to the purpose of your scan job. You can select resolution (ranging from 200dpi to 2700dpi) from the Resolution box or select Custom. . . The following dialog box will appear: You can adjust the resolution of the X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) axis independently by dragging the scroll bars in this dialog box. This may however cause the resolution of the X-axis to be different from that of the Y-axis. To avoid this, you can check the Sync check box to adjust the resolutions of the X- and Y-axes simultaneously, which will constrain the proportions of the original image. When you get the desired effect, click on the OK button to confirm your settings and close the dialog box. If you are not satisfied with the adjustment, click on the Cancel button to cancel your settings and close the dialog box. 21 English Scan Mode box The Scan Mode box provides three scan modes: High Speed You can increase the scan speed of your scanner in High Speed mode. High Quality 24 This mode is recommended if your application software supports only up to 24-bit color processing. In High Quality 24 mode, the scanner will receive 24 bits of information per pixel during its scan. High Quality 36 In this mode, the scanner will receive 36 bits of information per pixel during its scan. In High Quality 36 mode, the image that you scan will be of the highest quality. It will however, take more time for the scanner to process the image data. Film Selection Area In addition to the Image Thumbnail Area, you can also select the image you want to scan in the Film Selection Area. You can select multiple frames and the film scanner will scan all the images you selected.
