Select the command Apply Pictures in the context menu of the scan. This will first
load the scan and all its pictures. Then it will remove any distortions from the
pictures. Finally it will add the color information to the scan points. Please don’t forget
to check the setting of Save modified scan points in the options and to save the scan
afterwards, this is not done automatically.
If you want to treat every scan in your scan folder that way, you can select the
command Apply Pictures in the context menu of the scan folder. In this case, the
scans are saved automatically afterwards if you have the correct setting of Save
modified scan points in the options.
