Input | Source

If you've got more than one scanner on your system, this lets you specify which

scanner you want to use.

A special "scan from" source is from a disk file. On the Output tab (p. 78), VueScan

provides a special option to save the raw output of a regular scan to a file. This option

lets you read that raw file as though you were scanning it.

If you set this option to "File", then you'll be able to enter a file name in the Input | Files

(p. 50) option. The name can be a TIFF file from a previous scan, a JPEG or TIFF file

from a digital camera, or a raw file from a digital camera.

Basic Option: This option is displayed when there's more than one scanner.

Input | Files

Specify the name of an image file that VueScan will read when you set the "Source"

option to "File". Usually this is a raw scan file you created with VueScan or a file from

a digital camera.

Disk files can be scanned just like a normal scanner. TheInput | Preview resolution (p.

55) and Input | Scan resolution (p. 55)options work just as you'd expect, so do the

preview and crop options.

Disk files can be TIFF, JPEG, or raw files from digital cameras. These files are typically

the output of a raw scan, but they can be any valid JPEG, TIFF or raw digital camera

file.

You can also use the file dialog (press the '@' button) to select multiple files, or you can

separate multiple file names with a semicolon.

Basic Option: This option is displayed when Input | Source (p. 50) is set to "File".

Input | Mode

Use this option to specify the type of scan you want to make. This is automatically

sensed on some scanners, but you may need to set it manually on others.

VueScan uses this option for two things:

1) To indirectly indicate whether the scan data comes from reflective media or

transmissive media. Input | Media (p. 50) will be automatically set to the most recent

setting for the selected mode.

2) To indicate the color space of the scan data (i.e. the color characteristics of the CCD

and light that exposed it)

Basic Option: This option is displayed when the scanner has more than one mode and

the scanner mode can't be sensed by VueScan.
