The Context Concept
The ScanWizard Pro context is a Mac OS folder containing a ScanWizard Pro
preferences file and scan job file(s), comprising a complete setup for scanning in
a specific manner.
Think of a context as a complete scan setup or environment, with each context
having its own characteristics, such as scan material (reflective, positive, or
negative film), ColorSync profile selections, scan quality control, interpolation
method, and others.
You can set up as many contexts as your hard disk can hold. And because
contexts are regular Mac OS folders, you manage them (e.g., copy, duplicate, or
delete) easily by using the Finder.
The ScanWizard Pro context can be easily customized to your particular need
and used for many applications, such as the following:
• Repeated or frequent use of project/job settings
• Saving different experiments on the same project/job
• Different setups involving scan material selections, CMS settings, scan jobs
• Various templates of a user's work
• Scanner sharing among multiple users
• Archiving of scan projects/jobs
• Proofing on prescans and adjustments before final scans
A good example in illustrating the concept of the context is through the use of
templates. For instance, you may set up four contexts for your most frequent
scanned work — reflective scans, a 35mm template, a 4" x 5" template, and a
negative filmstrip template. You can then switch easily and freely among these
contexts to maximize your productivity. (For more information, see the
SnapTrans Templates
command.)
When you quit or switch to another context, the settings of the current context
are automatically saved. You will have exactly the same setup when you run or
switch back to this context, so there is no need to start from scratch.
The ScanWizard Pro context is a powerful tool to help you get the most
productivity out of your scanner, especially if you do many similar scanning
jobs.
