Note: When an illegal value is entered (e. g. , the input width exceeds the scan frame size), the value will appear in red as a flag or warning indicating an out-ofrange value. · · Changing the Output settings (width or height) will change the Scan Frame settings (width or height). 62 Microtek ScanWizard Pro for Mac OS X A. Scan Frame settings The Scan Frame settings (width and height) represent the area on the scan bed that you wish to scan. To specify your settings, enter the dimensions manually in the width and height edit boxes; or use the Scan Frame tool to define or resize your scan frame. Changes made in the Preview window are automatically displayed in the Scan Frame setting edit boxes. If you wish, you can also choose from a menu of predefined Scan Frame settings. To do this, point your mouse to the words "Scan Frame" in the Settings window, and choose the setting you wish from the drop-down menu that appears. Reference: The Settings Window 63 B. Output settings The Output settings (width and height) represent the dimensions of the image when it is output to either the monitor or the printer. If the size of the image to be output is different from the size of the original source image, adjust the scaling percentage, or manually increase / decrease the output values accordingly. If you wish, you can also choose from a menu of predefined Output settings. To do this, point your mouse to the words "Output" in the Settings window, and choose the setting you wish from the drop-down menu that appears. · Add / Remove Custom Setting: These options let you customize and create your own output settings for use in subsequent scans. 64 Microtek ScanWizard Pro for Mac OS X C. Scaling Scaling lets you create larger or smaller images from the original source image. Take note of the following: · Keep the scaling at 100% if you are outputting at the same size (e. g. , a 4" x 5" original to be output at the same size). · Reduce the scaling if you are outputting your image at a smaller size (e. g. , a 4" x 5" original to be output to 2" x 2. 5"). To choose the scaling percentage, click the up/down arrow next to the scaling box, or enter a value in the scaling edit box. If you wish, you can also choose from a menu of predefined Scaling settings. To do this, point your mouse to the words "Scaling" in the Settings window, and choose the setting you wish from the drop-down menu that appears. · Film scale mapping: Choose your image material and the output dimension. For example, "35mm to 5" x 7"" means your image source is 35mm film, and output size is 5" x 7". · Add / Remove Custom Setting: These options let you customize and create your own image-mapping scale for use in subsequent scans. When you change resolution and specify a value that has no exact equivalent for scaling, the scaling may be affected and adjusts itself to the nearest allowed value. For instance, if your resolution is 100, your scaling becomes 99 (instead of a full 100), because that is the closest scaling equivalent, given the resolution value. D. Image Size The Image Size field indicates how big the file will be when you accept the dimensions shown in the edit boxes, together with the resolution setting that you have selected. [. . . ] Take note that DIGITAL ICE requires additional time in processing and requires more time than regular scanning. Mac OS X Windows XP Before After 6 Automatic Color Restoration The Automatic Color Restoration feature is part of Microtek's ColoRescueTM system for bringing faded colors back to life. Note: · This option will not work when the Image Type is set to "Line Art" or "Black and White Diffusion. " · For best results when using the "Automatic Color Restoration" feature, marquee (select) only the image area of the photo to be restored (the photo proper). Do not include the white border around the photo, as inclusion of the background may lead to inaccurate color restoration. In the Settings window, check the "Automatic Color Restoration" option.
