2. Set the Crop pop-up menu to one of the following:
• Auto Detection: FlexColor will attempt to crop the image as
tightly as possible to keep all unexposed pixels out of the scan.
• Current Crop: FlexColor will use the crop area currently defined
for the preview in the main FlexColor window. If you are batch
scanning, then you should only choose this option if all of the
originals you are scanning have the same format (e.g., 35 mm).
• Full Size: FlexColor will capture the full size available with your
current original holder or feeder. is setting will give you the
fastest scan time because no extra processing is required during
the scans.
3. Set the Film Type pop-up menu to one of the following:
• Auto Detection: FlexColor will attempt to determine the film
type by analyzing image colors during scanning. is is most
useful when you are scanning a batch of mixed originals.
• Positive: For positive color and black & white originals.
• Color Negative: For color negative originals.
• B/W Negative: For black & white negative originals.
4. Set the Setup menu(s) to match the setup(s) you wish to use for your
scan. If you have set the Film Type to Auto Detection, then two setup
menus are provided: one for positives and one for negatives. If you
have set the Film Type to one of the specific settings, then only one
setup pop-up menu is shown. e choices given in the Setup menu(s)
include the default and custom setups for each appropriate film type.
5. Mark or clear the following checkboxes, according to your
preferences:
• Auto levels: FlexColor will set highlight and shadow points for
each individual scan according to its internal algorithm. ese
will become part of the default setup for your 3f files, but your raw
data will not be affected; you will be able to change them during
export at any time.
• Auto focus: FlexColor will refocus before each scan. Auto focus
can add a few seconds to your scan times, but we recommend
that you use it anyway. You must always use this when you are
scanning mounted slides because slide mountings can vary in
thickness. When scanning with Flextight original holders, you
