C. Scaling
Scaling lets you create larger or smaller images
from the original source image. Take note of the
following:
• Keep the scaling at 100% if you are outputting
at the same size (e.g., a 4” x 5” original to be
output at the same size).
• Reduce the scaling if you are outputting your
image at a smaller size (e.g., a 4” x 5” original
to be output to 2” x 2.5”). Increase the scaling
if outputting at a larger size.
To choose the scaling percentage, click the up/down arrow next to the scaling
box, or enter a value in the scaling edit box.
If you wish, you can also choose from a menu of predefined Scaling settings.
To do this, point your mouse to the words "Scaling" in the Settings window,
and choose the setting you wish from the drop-down menu that appears.
• Film scale mapping: Choose your image material and the output dimension.
For example, “35mm to 5” x 7"” means your image source is 35mm film,
and output size is 5" x 7".
• Add / Remove Custom Setting: These options let you customize and create
your own image-mapping scale for use in subsequent scans.
Scaling is also affected by your resolution setting. When you change resolution
and specify a value that has no exact equivalent for scaling, the scaling may be
affected and adjusts itself to the nearest allowed value. For instance, if your
resolution is 100, your scaling becomes 99 (instead of a full 100), because that
is the closest scaling equivalent, given the resolution value.
D. Image Size
The Image Size field indicates how big the file will be when you accept the
dimensions shown in the edit boxes, together with the resolution setting that
you have selected. Size is calculated automatically. The resulting file size
depends on the image type (color, grayscale, etc); resolution; and dimensions of
the image.
E. Unit of Measurement
The Unit of Measurement lets you select the desired unit (inch, cm, mm, point,
pica, pixel) for your image dimensions.
Important: Make sure you select the correct unit of measurement before
entering any of the values for width or height in the Scan Frame Settings or
Output Settings.
