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 thumbnails

The displayed thumbnail images can be saved in one image file. All the frames in the
film holder, including empty frames, must be scanned 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,
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. All the frames in the film holder, including empty
frames, must be scanned before the index file 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.
