As you work with the 3f images in the light table, you can load each im-

age into FlexColor to make settings and then save the settings back in the

history for the 3f image. When you have finished making settings for an

entire batch, you can then batch-process all images to save them as TIFF

or JPEG files with your settings applied.

In a production environment, you might choose to store your 3f images

on a shared network drive, allowing any computer that has FlexColor

installed to open and export images for use even while the scan worksta-

tion is busy scanning. Even at sites where there is only one Flextight scan-

ner in use, the FlexColor license agreement permits your organization to

install FlexColor on any number of computers at the site.

Custom Setups and Single Scans

As mentioned above, we usually recommend that you use the 3f workflow

when working with the Batch Feeder. However, you might sometimes

want to use the standard FlexColor batch-scan feature, which enables you

to make several different scans from each original and/or use a different

setup for each scan. The result of this workflow will be a set of TIFF files

with your setups permanently applied to each of them, rather than the

more flexible 3f files.

The standard batch-scan workflow is fully described in the FlexColor

User’s Guide. An example of how to use this feature when you have the

Batch Feeder attached is given below, which includes some specific advice

for using the Feeder.

Run FlexColor and click on the

Batch Scan

button to open the

Batch

Scan

window.
