This button does a quick preview scan of the area described byCrop | Preview area (p.
68) and displays it in the Preview tab.
A preview scan is usually created at a lower resolution and is therefore faster. From
the preview you can set your cropping, filtering and color balance options that will be
applied to the final scan.
Want to preview more than one frame at a time? Then use the Input | Batch scan (p.
53) option. Several previews can be in memory at the same time, and you can change
which preview you are viewing by changing the number in Input | Frame number (p. 54).
If you're scanning from disk, and specify the starting file in numbered series (e.g.
scan0001.tif) you can use the Frame number to select a file. For example, if Input |
Files (p. 50) is set to "scan0001.tif" andInput | Frame number (p. 54) is 12, VueScan will
look for the file "scan0012.tif" when Preview is pressed.
Other options for specifying numbering schemes for VueScan files are documented on
the Output tab (p. 78) help topics.
Scan button
This button performs the scan, displays the image in the Scan tab and optionally saves
to the file type(s) selected in the Output tab (p. 78).
If a preview scan is not available, VueScan will perform a preview in order to calculate
exposure and crop area. IfInput | Lock exposure (p. 61) is set and Crop | Auto offset
(p. 65) andCrop | Auto rotate (p. 66) are not set, no preview will be created.
You can scan more than one frame at a time by using the Input | Batch scan (p. 53)
option.
If you're scanning from disk, and specify the starting file in numbered series (e.g.
scan0001.tif) you can use the Frame number to select a file. For example, if Input |
Files (p. 50) is set to "scan0001.tif" andInput | Frame number (p. 54) is 12, VueScan will
look for the file "scan0012.tif" when Scan is pressed.
Other options for specifying numbering schemes for VueScan files are documented on
the Output tab (p. 78) help topics.
Scan+ button
This button is used to indicate that the scan should be added to a multi-page file, in
PDF, TIFF or OCR Text format. It's exactly the same as the Scan button (p. 47) except
that it indicates that the scan should be appended to a multi-page file.
View button
This button will bring up a viewer for the first file name that's displayed in the menu bar.
This is often simpler than having to switch to the operating system to do this.
It's also used to display multi-page files whenever you'd like to view them.
