There is common terminology used to describe a rectangular film format. If the
image on the film is oriented so that the top of the image corresponds to the wide side
of the film, the orientation is called
landscape.
Landscape orientation is illustrated in
Figure 4.8a. Conversely, if the image on the film is oriented so that the top of the image
corresponds to the narrow side of the film, the orientation is known as
portrait.
Portrait
orientation is illustrated in Figure 4.8b. This terminology is identical to that used in
preparing an 8.5 x 11 inch page for text processing or printing.
Although film is inserted in
portrait orientation only,
either landscape or portrait
can be produced by software control, resulting in correctly oriented previews and final
scans.
