Scanning a Preview Image

The purpose of the preview scan is to rapidly display the image from the slide on
your computer screen. Once the image is scanned and on the screen, you can then per-
form more detailed operations which will affect how the image will be captured in the
final high resolution scan. A sampling of such operations might include cropping a par-
ticular portion of the image, or adjusting the contrast, brightness and color balance.
The results of these operations will be displayed on the screen. For now, though, we
will scan the sample slide using the plug-in's default settings.
