Scan Frame lock This lets you lock in the settings of your scan frame, so that the width and height dimensions of the frame are always preserved no matter where you move the frame in your preview image. If you know the exact input size for your image, or if you wish to "lock" the settings of your scan frame to a particular size, enter the Scan Frame width and height values first, then click the Scan Frame lock. Your scan frame will be "fixed" at those values, so even if you move the scan frame around the preview image, the dimensions of the frame itself will remain unchanged. B. Output lock Note: The Scan Frame Lock and Output Lock are each mutually exclusive. This means that only one lock can be used at a time. This lets you lockin the values specified for the width and height of the image when it is output. For example, if you know the exact output size for your image, enter the output width and height values first, then click the Output lock. Note: If any of the input values are changed after the lock is on, the scaling will be adjusted automatically to preserve the output dimensions correctly. C. Keep Proportion lock This lets you keep the proportion of the image width and height despite changes made to either setting, and thus preserves the aspect ratio of the image correctly. The Keep Proportion lock is automatically turned on when you enter values in either the Scan Frame settings or the Output settings. 66 Microtek ScanWizard Pro for Mac OS X Transform The Transform command allows you to rotate and / or flip the image in increments of 90 degrees.
