 Change Input | Frame number (p. 54) to view each previewed frame. Adjust

rotation and cropping for the frame. When done, move to the next frame.

 Scan the batch. VueScan will create a series of cropped files (e.g.

"crop0001.tif", "crop0002.tif" ... "crop0006.tif").

Basic Option: This option is displayed when Input | Batch scan (p. 53)is set to "List".

Input | Frame number

If you have a film scanner that can move the film holder, you can use this option to

select which slide or negative frame you want to scan. This option will only be

displayed if your scanner supports it.

There are several advanced uses of Input | Frame number (p. 54) to consider when

setting Input | Source (p. 50) to "File" or using theCrop | Multi crop (p. 65) option.

When scanning from disk files, VueScan will consider a number at the end of the Input |

Files (p. 50) as the starting point in a series, and Input | Frame number (p. 54) to

reference a file relative to that starting point. So if you have scanned a whole roll of

film and have raw files "scan0001.tif" through "scan0030.tif" you may specify

"scan0001.tif" as Input | Files (p. 50), and then use Frame number to work on different

scanned files as though they were frames. Frame number 18 would then use the disk

file "scan0018.tif" as the source when you press Preview or Scan.

Frame number may also be used if you have set up Crop | Multi crop (p. 65). Frames

are counted from top to bottom, then left to right.

Basic Option: This option is displayed when the scanner has hardware that supports

this, or when using Crop | Multi crop (p. 65).

Input | Frame offset

This option sets an offset for the start of the each frame on a film strip on the Nikon

LS-30, LS-40, LS-2000, LS-4000, LS-8000, LS-9000 scanners, the Canon FS4000

when the strip film adapter is used, and the SprintScan 120 when the Medium Format

adapter is used.

Use this option if there is some leader on the film strip, or if you're scanning panoramic

frames and need to scan what would otherwise be the gap between 35mm frames.

This option can be either a positive or negative number.

The units for this option are normally millimeters, but this can be changed with the Prefs

| Crop units (p. 93) option.

Basic Option: This option is displayed when the scanner is capable of frame offsets.

Input | Frame spacing

This option sets the spacing between frames for some film scanners that support this in
