Advanced scanning
Adjust the sliders or enter values between ±2
in 0.1 increments in the text boxes. Click the
apply button to view the effect on the preview
image and the histograms; the button turns red
after each change indicating the adjustment is
not applied to the preview image. Repeat until
the desired result is achieved. To cancel all set-
tings, click the reset button and click the apply
button to initialize the preview image.
When using autoexposure, adjustments are
made in reference to the exposure determined
by the AE system. To calibrate the scanner in
reference to a standard exposure, turn the
autoexposure functions off in the preference
window (p. 40); set exposure control for nega-
tives to manual or uncheck the auto-expose-
for-slides check box. This is recommended
when making settings for specific films.
The exposure control tab cannot be used with
Digital ROC or SHO.

Simply click the exposure-control tab to dis-
play the selected image. If the prescan button
is yellow, make a prescan. If any changes are
made to exposure, the image-correction tab
turns red (Windows) or an asterisk is displayed
on the tab (Macintosh).
The master slider and text box control the
overall exposure. The R, G, and B sliders and
text boxes are used to compensate for any
color shift.
The exposure-control tab allows the scanner’s exposure system to be customized to specific
films, lighting, or a personal exposure index based on the film, processing, lens, and shutter
combination. This can also be used to compensate for badly exposed film.
