Hasselblad 949 - Manual (Page 24)

FlexColor to analyze each image to decide whether it is negative
or positive. It will then use either the Positive Setup or Negative
Setup that you have selected.
If all of your originals are either positive or negative, then you
can set the Film Type to match (though you could also use auto
detection). In this case, only one setup selection will be available
( Positive Setup or Negative Setup ), depending on the film type
you have selected.
If you would like to export TIFF images automatically using your
selected setup, then mark the Save final TIFFs check box. You
will still get the 3f images, but TIFF versions will also be exported
using the positive or negative setup you have selected and saved in
a sub-folder below the 3f images.
To set highlight and shadow points automatically, mark the Auto
levels check box. This will result in automated fine-tuning of
your selected setup based on an analysis of each image. This is
especially useful when you are using the Save final TIFFs feature.
Usually, you should use a Scan Resolution of 100%, which
ensures that your 3f files will contain the full scan data possible
with your scanner, allowing for maximum flexibility in the future.
However, if you are short on disk space and are sure that you do
not need full resolution images, you may consider reducing this
value or setting a maximum size. Alternatively, if you are sure that
you will use your scans for just one specific purpose with known
dimensions and resolution, you might use the Adapt to format
settings.
Be sure to mark the Feeder check box and to use the From
Position and To Position fields to set the first and last original
you wish to scan from the Slide Feeder.
Click on Scan in the Scan 3f window to scan all of your selected
slides to 3f files.
To use 3f files, you must use FlexColor to review, process and export
the images to standard TIFF or JPEG files, which are compatible with
most image-editing and DTP programs. FlexColor provides a virtual
light table of all 3f images from a selected folder and enables you to view
details, view export history and load each image into the main FlexColor
window to make export settings.
