For MAC Users Using ScanPotter
A. Scanning Photos
1. Raise the scanner lid, and place the
photo to be scanned face down on the
scanner glass bed, towards the front of
the scanner. Center the top of the photo
along the U-shaped ruler on the scanner.
If the scanner has an installed TMA
1600-III, put the Black Plate on top of the
photo to cover it, with the side of the
Black Plate that reads "This side up"
facing up. Follow the procedures on
page 8 for positioning reflective originals to load the Black Plate.
2. Launch ScanPotter either as a stand-alone by clicking on the program icon, or by
selecting it from the application folder in your Mac OS X system.
3. Choose Reflective from the Scan Source options menu for scanning photos.
4. Specify your scanning requirements in the Scanner Settings column.
a) Select the appropriate image type (e.g., RGB Color) in the Color Type as your
image output type.
- Select Color to scan the image in color.
- Select Grayscale to scan the image in grayscale.
- Select Black & White to scan the image in black-and-white.
b) Select a desired resolution in the Resolution for your output image.
c) Select Automatic Detection or a desired dimension in the Scan Frame as your
preview image size.
5. Click the Preview button to perform a preliminary scan of the image in the Preview
window.
6. If necessary, resize the scan frame (floating dotted rectangle) around the image by
dragging on the square spots on the edge or on the corner of the scan frame to
determine the final size of the actual scan.
7. If necessary, specify file settings for your output image files, using the options
offered in the File Saving Settings column.
8. If necessary, click the Image Settings button to switch to a window in which you
can select a preset image effect to the image directly or adjust image quality
manually by using the additional image correction tools.
9. Click the Scan button to start scanning.
