all your intermediate exposures will be saved as separate files. These files will
have the same root name appended by a number indicating the exposure
sequence. The final, full exposure will have the root name only, with no
exposure number.

Auto Save After Scan
To automatically save any image you create, click on the Auto Save After Scan
checkbox.
With this checkbox selected, when you click on Acquire or Live Acquire, a
Save As dialog box will open asking you to specify a file name and location
for the image you are about to create. The scan will begin when you click on
the Save button.
Note that in Live Acquire mode you can save your intermediate exposures by
selecting Auto Save After Scan and then Save All Intermediate Images.
Make Backup Copy
You can automatically create a backup copy of any scan you create. To do so,
first select Auto Save After Scan (see above), then select the Make Backup
Copy checkbox.
With this checkbox selected, when you save a scan, a backup copy will be
placed in the same directory as the scanned image. Windows backup files will
have an “.sbk” extension. Macintosh backup files will have the word
“backup” after the file name.
This backup copy will be read-only, which means that you cannot make
changes to it. You can open it like a normal file, but you must save it under a
different file name before editing the image or performing analysis.
