INDEX
80
Use an asterix (*) for the output file name to cause the raw file name to be used. For instance,
when scanning raw files with different names that aren't in numerical order, click the '@' button
to the right of the Input | Files (p. 50) option, choose multiple file names, and when you batch
scan these, the output files will have the same file names as the input files, albeit in different
folders and with different file extensions.
Frame numbering with =
Insert an equals sign (=) anywhere in the filename to instruct VueScan to insert the current
value of Input | Frame number (p. 54)when creating the file. If you save the same frame more
than once VueScan will overwrite the previous file (seePrefs | Warn on overwrite (p. 97)).
If you specify a starting number, VueScan will add one less than the current frame number to
the starting value. For example, if you specify "crop0007=.tif" and the current frame number is
2, the file written will be "crop0008.tif" (7+2-1).
This feature allows you to match the exposure number printed on the film edge to the file
number of the scan. Keep in mind that Input | Frame number (p. 54) will be relative to what the
scanner thinks is a frame. Your film holder frame number might range from 1 to 6, so for each
new strip of 6 exposures you scan, you can set the starting number in the filename.
Output | Default folder
This is the folder where files are read and written by default.
All other file names on the Output tab, as well as Input | Files (p. 50)will use this folder,
so full paths are not required in those fields.
Basic Option: This option is always displayed.
Output | Printed size
Use this option to select the target size of the saved images. This is used to compute
the resolution of the saved TIFF, JPEG and PDF files. The dpi of the saved files will
depend on the dpi produced by the scanner and the image size.
Note that "Printed size" does not affect the number of pixels in the image, so this setting
does not affect the file size. "Printed size" controls logically how far apart the pixels
should be displayed in order to fit within the bounds specified. This also means that
"Printed size" does not instruct VueScan to resample the image.
Keep in mind that the effects of resolution may not be visible (or may be
misrepresented), as a result of the resolution of your monitor or printer. A very
high-resolution file cannot be displayed at a resolution higher then the monitor, so just
because you see jagged lines does not mean the image will print poorly.
Basic Option: This option is always displayed.
