Chapter 4 Bask Operation
It is therefore necessary to position the film so that no more than two frames are
to the front of the scanning window.
Similar to slides, the emulsion side of the film strip should face upward in the film
strip holder so that it will also be face up when inserted into the scanner.
Based on these two constraints, it is not always possible to scan the frame right-
side-up. If the frame is scanned backwards or up-side-down, the scanning software can
be used to rotate the image before scanning. Again, because this operation is a 90 or
180 degree flip, it is very fast and causes no image degradation.
Examples of positioning film in the film strip holder are shown in Figure 4.14.

Figure 4.14 Positioning film in the film strip holder.
Care should be taken not to touch the portion of the film to be scanned when
loading the film into the film strip holder. To avoid fingerprints or scratches, you may
wish to consider wearing film handling cotton gloves during this procedure.
The window in the film strip holder is slightly smaller than the typical 35mm
