How to Customize Negative Film
With ScanWizard Pro TX, you can create a
customized film profile for your negative film,
based on an existing negative film profile. This
lets you create film profiles at will or as the need
arises, and allows you to use the profiles for
subsequent scans as well.
1. Place the negative filmstrip or cartridge to be
customized in the proper film holder and
insert into your scanner.
