Scanning Positive Film - Microtek ArtixScan M2 Getting To Know Manual

B. Scanning Positive Film
1. Insert the holder with the loaded positive
film into the transparency bay of the
scanner.
Make sure that nothing is on the scanner
glass surface.
2. Launch ScanWizard Pro either as a stand-
alone by clicking on the program icon, or
by using the File-Import or File-Acquire
command from your image-editing program
(such as Adobe Photoshop).
3. Go to the Preview window and choose Positive / Positive Film from the Scan
Material menu.
If this is your first time to scan transparent media, you will be prompted to perform
color calibration for your scanner. A Calibration Reminder window appears.
- Click the Skip button to exit the "Calibration Reminder" window. Clicking the
Skip button allows you to use the factory default ICC profile for your scanner.
Note: If your scanner does not include IT8 calibration targets, disregard the
Calibration reminder window whenever it appears, and click the Skip
button always.
- Click the Calibrate button to run the Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP)
program to perform color calibration and to customize the ICC profile for your
scanner. After finishing with calibration, relaunch ScanWizard Pro.
Note: The MSP program should be installed before you perform color
calibration for your scanner. For details on how to install the MSP program and
how to use it to calibrate the scanner, refer to section of the manual titled
"Using the Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler (MSP)".
