Scaling - Microtek ArtixScan 4500t Reference Manual

B. Scaling
Scaling lets you create larger or smaller images from the original source image.
Take note of the following:
• Keep the scaling at 100% if you are outputting at the same size (e.g., a 4" x 5"
original to be output at the same size).
• Reduce the scaling if you are outputting your image at a smaller size (e.g., a
4" x 5" original to be output to 2" x 2.5"). Increase the scaling if outputting at
a larger size.
To choose the scaling percentage, click the up/down arrow next to the scaling
box, or enter a value in the scaling edit box.
If you wish, you can also choose from a menu of predefined Scaling settings. To
do this, point your mouse to the words "Scaling" in the Settings window, and
choose the setting you wish from the menu that appears.
• Film scale mapping: Choose your image material and the output dimension.
For example, "35mm to 5" x 7"" means your image source is 35mm film, and
output size is 5" x 7".
• Add / Remove to Menu: These options let you customize and create your
own image-mapping scale for use in subsequent scans.
Scaling is also affected by your resolution setting. When you change resolution
and specify a value that has no exact equivalent for scaling, the scaling may be
affected and adjusts itself to the nearest allowed value. For instance, if your
resolution is 100, your scaling becomes 99 (instead of a full 100), because that is
