6.2.2
Reload Magazine and Set Frame Position
If scanning a magazine from Slide 1, directly after turning the scanner on and starting Cyberview,
proceed as described in section 6.3 (for Pre-scanning), optionally followed by section 6.4 (for
Image Adjustment), or go directly to section 6.5 (for Scanning).
•
If scanning several magazines in succession, each time a new magazine is loaded, you
must click the Reload Magazine button
(section 5.2.2.8). Cyberview can process a
maximum of 100 slides at a time (the capacity of the biggest CS magazine), so it is necessary
to click Reload Magazine to “reset” Cyberview. JS reports that clicking Reload Magazine is
often the solution if a pre-scan produces a black picture.
•
If starting to scan at a position other than Slide 1, you can inform Cyberview of the actual
position using the
Set Current Position
button – see section 5.2.2.9.
•
You can move one
Backward One Frame
(section 5.2.2.6) or
Forward One Frame
(section
5.2.2.7) by clicking the corresponding button. This can also be done by pressing the relevant
button on the scanner itself.
•
You can move to a defined position using the
Go To
button – see section 5.2.2.10.
6.3 Pre-scanning
6.3.1
Overview
A pre-scan takes about 20 seconds per slide, and produces an image in a separate pop-up
Thumbnail Panel which shows 6 thumbnails at a time. The Image Adjustment features described in
section 6.4 can only be used on slides which have been pre-scanned.
Pre-scans can be used to see exactly what pictures you have, if the slides have not been viewed
for some time, and to decide if you wish to make any Image Adjustments (section 6.4) to be
applied when scanning.
6.3.2
Creating a Pre-scan
A pre-scan is activated from the Scan Menu (section 5.2.1.1) or the Pre-scan button on the
Toolbar. The options are shown in section 5.2.2.2 and correspond to common sizes of magazines.
Using the last option
Pre-scan …
it is possible to define a series of ranges, e.g. 1,3,5-12, as
shown below.
Once a pre-scan is completed, it must be used in some way, e.g. apply Image Adjustments. It is
not possible to pre-scan a few slides, and then pre-scan some more before applying any
adjustments. Defining a second pre-scan selection, clears the results of the first.
