Scaling

Scaling Scaling
The Scaling Scaling Scaling lets you create large or small images so that the
images don't have to be resized subsequently, which is usually
done in your image-editing software.
Scaling is the process of creating larger or smaller images in your
scanning software so that you need not resize the images later
when they are delivered to your image-editing program.
Specific scales: Choose from 1/2x (half size), 1x (full scale), 2x (enlarged to
twice size), 4x, and 8x. 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 to Menu: You can customize the
image mapping scale, and name it for later use. Restore: Retrieve the image scale
name you assigned in the Add to Menu command.
The above assumes that your resolution is held constant throughout the
changes. 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 the closest scaling equivalent,
given the resolution value.

Image Size
