Selecting index thumbnails

Making an index scan

With a loaded film holder in the scanner,
click the index-scan button in the main
window to start the scan. The frame num-
ber of the index scan corresponds to the
frame number in the film holder. 

To cancel the index scan, click the cancel
button in the small dialog box that appears
during the scan, or press the escape key (Windows), or
press the command key and period (.) at the same time (Macintosh).

Index thumbnails will remain in the display until another index scan is made or the
film format and type are changed. To initialize the index display and remove the cur-
rent thumbnails press the control key (Windows) or command key (Macintosh)
together with the shift and R keys.

The index scan is a low-resolution scan used to show thumbnail images of all the
frames in the film holder. Index scans are particularly useful when selecting images
from negative films. Images can be prescanned or scanned without making an index
scan.

If the fit-to-window function
is active, the displayed
thumbnails will automati-
cally adjust to fit the dis-
play area.
