Making a prescan

When using an index scan, select the index frame(s) to be
prescanned. Click the prescan button in the main window.
Double clicking on the index frame will also activate the
prescan even if no thumbnail is displayed in the frame. The
prescan window will be displayed automatically.
The procedure to cancel the prescan is the same as the
index scan, see the canceling the index scan section on
page (p.33).
After changing between the 35mm film holder and slide-mount holder, the first index
thumbnail may be prescanned even if another thumbnail is selected. Reselect the
thumbnail, and make the prescan again.

Grab tool

When an image is larger than the display area, the
grab tool can be used to scroll the image. Click the
grab button on the tool bar. Click and drag on the
image to scroll. This tool cannot be used with the
fit-to-window function (p. 35).

Magnifying tool

The display image can be enlarged or reduced.
Click the magnifying button on the tool bar. Click
on the image to enlarge. To reduce, hold down the
control (Windows) or option key (Macintosh) and
click on the image. When the image has reached
the magnification limit, the plus or minus sign in the
magnifying icon will disappear. This tool cannot be
used with the fit-to-window function (p. 35).

Auto cropping

Auto cropping eliminates the blank space around the image area. Pressing the auto-
cropping button cycles through its three positions: crop to outside edge, crop to
inside edge, and entire window. The cropping frame is indicated by a marquee (dot-
ted line). The cropping area can also be adjusted manually
(p. 38).
Clicking the auto-cropping button once will bring the crop-
ping frame to the outside edge of the image area. Clicking
the auto-cropping button a second time will bring the crop-
ping frame to the inside edge of the image area. Clicking the
auto-cropping button a third time will return the cropping
frame to its original position. When using the image-correc-
tion tools, only the cropped area is displayed.
