The film mounted in the slide frame is NOT square. For
the entire film to be scanned, it is necessary to insert
the slide with the narrow side of the film, the 24 mm
side, entering first into the scanner. This is shown in
Figure 4.4a.
The entire film surface can NOT be scanned if the wide
side of the film, the 36 mm side is inserted first as
shown in Figure 4.4b. If the film is inserted as shown in
Figure 4.4b, the resulting scan will not cover the entire
film surface. Known as clipping, this is shown in Figure
4.5.

Portrait or landscape is the frequent terminology used
for the non-square 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” and is illustrated in Figure 4.6a.
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 called “portrait" and is
illustrated in Figure 4.6b. This is identical to the
terminology used in preparing an 8,5 x 11 inch page for
text processing or printing.

Since the scanner requires film to be inserted narrow
side first, only portrait slides are actually scanned in a
top correct format. Landscape oriented slides will be
scanned sideways, producing a 90 degree rotated
image. This is corrected by the software after the scan
is completed. Since the rotation is 90 degrees,
absolutely no image degradation occurs.
