If you have both negative and positive originals in your batch, you

should set

Film Type

to “Auto Detection”. This will cause FlexCol-

or to analyze each image to decide whether it is negative or posi-

tive. It will then use either the

Positive Setup

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 (or use auto detection). In this case,

only one setup selection will be available (

Positive Setup

Neg-

ative 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 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 especial-

ly useful when you are using the

Save final TIFFs

feature.

Usually, you should use a

Scan Resolution

of 100%, which en-

sures that your 3f files will contain the full scan data possible with

your scanner for each original format, 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. Alterna-

tively, if you are sure that you will use your scans for just one spe-

cific 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 Posi-

tion

and

To Position

fields to set the first and last original you

wish to scan from the Feeder.

Click on

Scan

in the

Scan 3f

window to scan all of your selected

originals 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 de-

tails, view export history and load each image into the main FlexColor

window to make export settings.
