are the actual pixel coordinates of the scanner's pixel array given in (x, y) form.
Fig. 60 The Image Orientation Controls
The tall/wide scan orientation and the horizontal and vertical "flips" will
allow you to view the image in any way you like.
Fig. 61 Rotate Option
PhotoStyler can only accept data as rows, but both the LS-3500 and the
LS-3510AF only scan columns. If you scan in wide mode, the image is fed to
PhotoStyler sideways and must be rotated 90
°
. With this check box checked, this
rotation will be done automatically. The most efficient way to scan with the
LS-3510AF is to place the slide in the scanner sideways and scan in tall mode.
Scan Pitch
This number is used to divide the maximum resolution. For example, at pitch
1, the scan will be full resolution; at pitch 2, it will be half; at pitch 3 it will be one
third, etc. It is the number of scan area pixels that go into one pixel of the final
output image.
The scanner hardware is not capable of fractional or non-integer pitches.
These in-between pitches are handled by scanning at the next higher resolution and
scaling down to produce the requested scan size. You cannot scan at a pitch of less
than 1.0 because this would be exceeding the maximum resolution of the scanner.
The scaling can slow the scanning process somewhat, so there is a faster
scaling and a better scaling. The faster scaling may produce jaggies at lower
resolutions (higher pitches) and the better scaling may considerably slow large
scans without producing a noticeable difference. If the pitch is a whole number, no
scaling is done and the scan data is passed directly to PhotoStyler.
