Sizing and Resolution
Fig. 28 Resolution and Size Controls
The scanner's total scan area is a 5000 pixel by 5000 pixel scan covering 40 x
40 millimeters. This makes for a direct-reading scan resolution of 3175 pixels per
inch, or 125 pixels per millimeter. All lower resolution scans are substituted from
this.
A standard 35mm frame has a scannable area of approximately 36mm by
24mm; or 4500 pixels by 3000 pixels at highest resolution. Full frame scans are
typical in most applications.
The actual scan area in Figure 29 is shown as the gray square, while the film
area is shown in white, superimposed over the scan area. The corner coordinates
are the actual pixel coordinates of the scanner's pixel array given in (x, y) form.

The scanner's "natural" orientation encourages you to place the film into the
scanner with the emulsion facing the light source. You will be the best judge of
whether or not this is how you wish to view the image. The tall/wide and scan
orientation, and the horizontal and vertical "flips" will allow you to view the image
in any way that you like. Figure 30 shows the scan specification area as it appears
in the dialog. The values are the factory defaults for the LS-3510AF scanner
plugin.
