Setting up Scans and Orienting Images

or an image window.

The Hand Cursor (Image Windows Only)

When Nikon Scan is used as a “stand-alone” application, the

Hand Cursor tool can be used to scroll images that have been

opened in image windows after scanning. It can not be used

in the scan window or a third-party host application.

The Crop Cursor

The Crop Cursor tool is used to make a selection, or “crop.”

In the scan window, the crop is the area selected for scan-

ning. In image windows, the crop is the source of the his-

togram.

To make a selection, drag the mouse

over the image in the active window.

The size of the crop can be changed

by dragging its borders, its location by

placing the cursor anywhere inside the

crop and dragging it to a new posi-

tion. To cancel the crop, double click

anywhere outside the selected area.
