Three types of scans can be made singularly or in combination depending on the workflow
and degree of processing:
Index scan:
to display thumbnails of each image in the 35mm or APS film holder. An
index scan is useful when scanning multiple frames on one film strip or for
selecting a specific frame among similar images.
Prescan:
to display a preview of a specific image. A prescan allows an image to be
cropped or corrected using the utility software’s image-processing tools.
Scan:
to save and export an image. Image size, resolution, and file format are spec-
ified with this scan.
