Reverse frame order

Some cameras reverse-wind the film so the last frame is exposed at the beginning
of the roll. When scanning film strips, the order of the index thumbnails can be
reversed to correct the chronology by simply clicking
the reverse-frame-order button. When the reverse-
frame-order button is clicked again, the frame order
follows the film holder frame order.

Saving the index images

The displayed thumbnail images can be saved in one image file. An index scan of all
the frames in the film holder, including empty frames, must be made before the
index thumbnails can be saved.
Click the save index-image
button. The standard save-
as dialog box will appear.
Enter the file name, and select the file destination
and file format for the image data. Click the save
button. File formats that can be selected with
Windows operating systems are Bitmap (BTM) or
JPEG, and with Macintosh are Pict or JPEG. The
film holder does not have to be in the scanner to
save the images.

Saving an index file

The index thumbnails can be saved as an index file. The index file can be loaded
into the scanner so that the index scan does not need to be made again. The index
image file format is unique to this software. An index scan of all the frames in the
film holder, including empty frames, must be made before the index thumbnails can
be saved.
Click the save index-file button. The standard save-
as dialog box will appear.
Enter the file name and select the file destination.
Click the save button. The film holder does not have
to be in the scanner to save the file.

Loading an index file

An index file can be displayed in the index window
of the utility software.
Click the load index-file button. The open dialog box
will appear.
Select the index file to be loaded. Click the open
button. The current index display will be replaced
with the images in the new file.
