Advanced Option: This option is displayed when scanning with 1 bit per pixel.

Input | Batch scan

If you set this option to "All", pressing either the Preview or Scan button will preview or

scan all the frames in the scanner. By setting it to "List", you can specify a list of

frames to preview or scan.

If you set this option to "Auto" and you're using the Crop | Multi crop (p. 65)option,

VueScan will automatically detect the list of frames that are visible in the preview.

Note that you can change this to "Off" during a long-running batch scan, this will then

stop scanning when the current frame is completed (this is a better way to stop than by

pressing the Cancel button (p. 48)button, as this will leave files half-written).

Batch scanning also works when scanning from disk files. In this case, the "All" option

refers to all disk files named using a series of numbers (e.g. scan0001.tif, scan0002.tif,

etc.). If the "scan0001.tif" file in the series is specified as Input | Files (p. 50), the Input

| Frame number (p. 54) will cause VueScan to reference the file with the same number.

Basic Option: This option is displayed when the scanner is capable of batch scanning

or when you set Crop | Multi crop (p. 65).

Input | Batch list

You can specify multiple frames by selecting multiple frame numbers, or a range of

frames like "1-3", or a combination of both (i.e. "1,3,5-7" causes frames 1,3,5,6,7 to be

scanned).

You can also add an additional rotation to any frame or range of frames by putting a

letter along with each frame number. Use "N" for no rotation, "L" for left, "F" for flip, "R"

for right, and "D" for default rotation. The letters may be in upper or lower case.

For example, adding "3r" to the batch list means scan frame 3 and rotate it 90 degrees

to the right, "2L" says to scan frame 2 and rotate it 90 degrees to the left, "1F,2L,4R"

says to scan frame 1 flipped, frame 2 rotated to the left, and frame 4 rotated to the right.

If no letter is specified (or if "D" is used), then the last rotation setting in the batch list will

apply for all subsequent frames.

Using Batch list, you can also preview a group of images in one step, rotate and crop

each previewed frame, and then scan all the frames in the batch. The process is:

 Specify the batch list. For example, specify "1-6" to specify 6 frames in a film

holder.

 Preview the batch. All six frames will be previewed.
