MAKING A PRESCAN
1 Select the index frame(s) to be prescanned.
2 Click the prescan button in the main
window.
• The prescan window will be displayed automatically.
• Double clicking on the index frame will activate the pres-
can even if no thumbnail is displayed in the frame.
• Clicking the prescan button when more than one frame is
selected will make a prescan of all the selected frames.
CROPPING THE IMAGE
Cropping is a method of recomposing the image by eliminating unnecessary space around the sub-
ject. Many images are improved by cutting out distracting elements in the background. The image
can be cropped automatically or manually. When using the image-correction tools, only the cropped
area is displayed.
AUTO CROPPING
Auto cropping eliminates the blank space around the image area. Pressing the auto-cropping button
cycles through its three positions: crop to outside edge, crop to inside edge, and entire window.
After making the prescan, click the auto-cropping button .
• Clicking the auto-cropping button once will bring the cropping frame to the outside edge of the
image area. Clicking the auto-cropping button a second time will bring the cropping frame to the
inside edge of the image area. Clicking the auto-cropping button a third time will return the crop-
ping frame to its original position.
The cropping frame, indicated by the dotted line, automat-
ically encloses the image area eliminating unnecessary
blank space. The cropping area can also be adjusted
manually (see page 44).
