Set Scan Settings (Continued...)

Notice: Higher scanning resolutions result in greater scanning time and hardisk space

requirements.

b. Color Depth

Choose between 8 and 16bit. A higher color depth setting will result in a

larger range of colors in the nal scanned image.

The Film Scanner color depth is 48 bit true color. The scanning software has the

capability of selecting 8 bit color mode or 16 bit color mode when scanning, This

will produce 24 or 48 bit color images, 8 bits or 16 bits per Red, Green and Blue

color channels.

Example:

8 bit mode = 8 Red, 8 Green, and 8 Blue for a total of 24 bit color

16 bit mode = 16 Red, 16 Green, and 16 Blue for a total of 48 bit color

NOTE: Make sure there is enough space available

on the computer when changing the Scanning

Resolution. A high scanning resolution results in

large les that may prove dicult to save.
