Step 7. Select the area to scan
Now that you have defined the final size of the image contained by the crop rec-
tangle, it is necessary to position the crop rectangle such that only the desired portion of
the film is scanned. This is accomplished graphically, using the mouse.
Position the cursor inside the crop rectangle such that the four-way arrow is visi-
ble. Now hold down the mouse button and move the cursor. Note that the entire crop
rectangle moves with the cursor. Position the crop rectangle over the area of the film
you wish to scan and release the mouse button.
Adjust the size of the crop by clicking on the corner or side ‘handles’ of the rec-
tangle, and dragging to a new size. The output dimensions and resolution will not
change. See page 99 for a detailed explanation of the crop rectangle tool.
