There is common terminology used to describe a rectangular film format. If the

image on the film is oriented so that the top of the image corresponds to the wide side

of the film, the orientation is called

landscape.

Landscape orientation is illustrated in

Figure 4.8a. Conversely, if the image on the film is oriented so that the top of the image

corresponds to the narrow side of the film, the orientation is known as

portrait.

Portrait

orientation is illustrated in Figure 4.8b. This terminology is identical to that used in

preparing an 8.5 x 11 inch page for text processing or printing.

Although film is inserted in

portrait orientation only,

either landscape or portrait

can be produced by software control, resulting in correctly oriented previews and final

scans.
