Output | TIFF file
This enables writing the cropped and processed images to a TIFF file when scanning.
Basic Option: This option is always displayed.
Output | TIFF file name
This specifies the name of the TIFF file to hold the cropped and processed images.
In addition to VueScan writing a specific file name, it can also automatically name your
files in three ways by placing special characters in the filename. See the beginning of
this section for information on how to use this auto-numbering feature.
The default setting of this option is "@.tif", which is expanded to
"Scan-YYMMDD-0001+.tif".
Basic Option: This option is displayed whenOutput | TIFF file (p. 82) is set.
Output | TIFF size reduction
You can use this option to write files with a reduced number of pixels. For instance, if
size reduction is set to 3, then every 3x3 block of pixels in the image will be written as a
single pixel, which is the average of these 9 pixels.
This option will reduce the resolution and size of the file produced. These values will be
displayed in the status area at the bottom of the VueScan window.
However, this option produces better results than reducing the resolution of the scan,
as the averaging of multiple pixels results in a similar noise reduction benefit as
multi-sampling. See Input | Number of samples (p. 59)and Input | Number of passes
(p. 59).
Advanced Option: This option is displayed whenOutput | TIFF file (p. 82) is set.
Output | TIFF multi page
If set, this option will cause VueScan to create multi-page TIFF files. Each scan will be
added as a new page.
This option is useful when you are scanning documents and want all pages stored in a
single file.
Basic Option: This option is displayed when Output | TIFF file (p. 82) is set.
Output | TIFF file type
This option describes the resolution of the cropped TIFF file, in bits per pixel. It should
normally be set to 24-bits per pixel, since many image editing programs are unable to
read TIFF files with higher bit depth than this.
If you select 8 bits or 16 bits, the file will be saved in black/white format.
