Working with 3f Images

When you are ready to use 3f images from your library in an actual job,
you must load the images into FlexColor, make size and optimization
settings appropriate for the job at hand, and then export the images to
8-bit TIFF or JPEG files.
Use the FlexColor Thumbnails window to open a folder of 3f images
and display them in its "virtual light table". From here, you can: view
information about each image, including its export history; load images
into the main FlexColor window to make export settings and view their
effects; mark images for approval; change the setup associated with one
or more shots; and more. Each time you export from a given 3f file, your
settings are added to the file's history, but the original image data is left
unchanged. You can also work by adding new setups to the history of
each file without exporting and then batch process to create your TIFF
or JPEG files all at once while you work elsewhere. For complete details
about these settings, please see "The Thumbnails Window" on page 65.
the following controls are also available (if they are hidden, then click
on the triangle next to the Rollfilm scanner heading to expose them):
Spool backwards: click here to spool the film backwards. It
will continue to spool until you click on stop or click again.
Stop: stops the film rolling.
Spool forward: click here to spool the film forward. It will
continue to spool until you click on stop or click again.
Usually, you will only use these controls to spool the film all the way
out of the scanner, in which case it is always best to spool forward
because the film moves more freely in that direction.
as they apply to your scanner, then click on Scan to scan the specified
images to 3f files.
