Customizing an automatic crop layout
If you are working with standard ColorQuartet templates, the corresponding layouts for auto-
matic cropping are already available. You may, however, wish to do one or more of the following:
• Assign a specific scan setup to a crop layout.
• Associate the crop layout and scan setup with one or more specific templates.
• Make the crop area for each image a little smaller to ensure that only the image is scanned, not
the frame or sprocket holes.
Proceed as follows:
1 • If relevant, start by producing the desired scan setup and saving it to disk.
2 • Open the Crop Layout Editor window by choosing Crop Layout Editor from ColorQuartet’s
ScanFlow menu.
3 • From the Crop Layout menu, choose the layout you want to use as a basis for your changes.
4 • If relevant, activate the Preferred Scan Setup check box and choose the desired scan setup
from the menu.
5 • If relevant, make the crop areas smaller by changing the w (width) and h (height) values for
Inset for all Crops.
To do this, make a pr
eview scan using the relevant template. Crop a
representative image, open the Scan Setup
window, and set the param-
eters as desired. Apply any desired color tools. Then choose Save Scan
Setup from ColorQuartet’s ScanFlow menu and assign the scan setup a
name and location.
If no special scan setup is assigned to the crop layout, ColorQuartet will
use the parameters that are currently active in the Scan Setup
window.
The w and h values for Size show you the size of the cutouts in the chosen
template. The actual scan area for each image can be reduced by using
Inset values. The w value will be applied to both the right- and left-
hand sides of the crop, and the h value to both the top and bottom of
the crop.
