Scan Material
This command allows you to select the correct scan material. Scan materials can
be classified into three types:
• Reflectives, such as photographs or prints.
• Positives, such as slides.
• Negatives, such as the negative film you use for your camera.
The default scan material depends upon the scanner you're using, and the
choices available to you in the Scan Material submenu will also depend on your
equipment.
For instance, the positive option appears only if you're using a Transparent
Media Adapter (TMA) with your scanner.
If you are scanning negatives or positives, make sure you specify the correct
scan material, or you will get inaccurate scanning results.
To use the scan material feature:
Choose the Scan Material command in the Preferences menu. From the submenu
that appears, select your scan material; a check will appear next to the selected
option. The selected option will also be shown in the Scan Material Status icon
(discussed below).
Note: If your Preview window is close to the right edge of your monitor, the Scan
Material submenu may appear on the left side instead of on the right (as shown above).
To resolve this, move the Preview window towards the left to create enough room for the
submenu to drop down on the right.
