Inserting a slide into the Coolscan scanner, (a) Inserting the narrow side
first, resulting in a scan of the entire film, (b) Inserting the wide side first, resulting in a
scan that clips the film.
As shown in Figure 4.2, the film aperture is rectangular. For the entire film area
to be scanned, it is necessary to insert the slide with the narrow side of the film, the
24mm side, first into the scanner. This is shown in Figure 4.6a. The entire film surface
cannot be scanned if the wide side of the film, the 36mm side, is inserted into Coolscan
first. This incorrect insertion is illustrated in Figure 4.6b. If the film is incorrectly
inserted, as shown in Figure 4.6b, the resulting scan will not cover the entire film area.
This outcome, known as
clipping,
is shown in Figure 4.7.
