Auto Save After Scan
To automatically save any scan you create, click on the Auto Save After Scan
checkbox.
With this checkbox selected, when you click on Acquire, a Save As dialog box
will open asking you to specify a file name and location for the image you are
about to create. The scan will begin when you click on the Save button.
Make Backup Copy
You can automatically create a backup copy of any scan you create. To do so,
first select Auto Save After Scan (see above), then select the Make Backup
Copy checkbox.
With this checkbox selected, when you save a scan, a backup copy will be
placed in the same directory as the scanned image. Windows backup files will
have an “.sbk” extension. Macintosh backup files will have the word
“backup” after the file name.
This backup copy will be read-only, which means that you cannot make
changes to it. You can open it like a normal file, but you must save it under a
different file name before editing the image or performing analysis.
Highlight Saturated Pixels
When this box is checked, any saturated pixels in the image will appear
highlighted in red in the scan window and in the pop-up image window. To
view/hide saturated pixels in the pop-up image window, use the Image >
Transform command.
Hide Grid
To hide the gridlines in the scanning area window, click on the Hide Grid
checkbox.
