IMAGE SCAN DUAL III UTILITY

Launching the DiMAGE Scan Dual III Utility

Turn on the scanner before launching the DiMAGE Scan Dual III Utility. When launching the utility,
the scanner front door must be closed and the film holder removed. Do not launch the utility
through image-processing software if it has already been opened as a stand-alone application.
Windows
Select DS Dual3 (DiMAGE Scan Dual III) Utility
from the Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual3 folder in
the program option of the start menu.

Launching the utility from an image-processing application

Most image-processing software allows applications to be opened using an import command
found on the file menu or on a special import menu. Refer to the application's manual for specific
instructions. An example using Photoshop Elements is on page 16.
With Mac OS X when launching the utility from Photoshop ver. 7.0, the utility window may be hid-
den under the Photoshop pallets. Hide the pallets before launching the utility.

Selecting the film format and type

To load a film holder, see pages 20 to 23. Before scanning, the film format and type must be
specified in the main window of the utility software. Film format and type are selected from the
drop-down menus in the top left corner of the main window. If the holder and selected film format
do not match, a warning will be displayed and the scan will not be made.
Two film formats can be selected with this scanner: 35 mm and APS. The APS option is for use
with cassette film with the optional APS adapter
AD-10. If scanning APS film in slide mounts, use
the 35 mm film-format option.
Film type can be selected between color and
black and white, positive and negative film. Film
for prints is negative film. Slide film is positive
film. APS has an additional option: auto-detect.
Auto detect automatically sets the film type
between color and black and white, and positive
and negative.
