Basic Option: This option is always displayed.

Input | Skew

Use this option to rotate the image by a small angle to correct for images that aren't

quite straight. The angle is specified in degrees, plus or minus two degrees.

Advanced Option: This option is displayed when auto skew isn't enabled.

Input | Mirror

This option mirrors images left/right before rotating. This lets you position your film

emulsion side up or down.

Advanced Option: This option is always displayed.

Input | Auto focus

Set this option to enable a focus before doing a preview or scan (or both). The

scanner will focus on the point specified by Crop | Focus X/Y offset (p. 69). This

location is visually represented by an animated cross-hair in the Preview tab after a

preview scan is created.

Set to "Preview" so that focus will only be done once if the scan is to be created

directly after the preview. Otherwise, set to "Always" or to ensure the most accurate

focus (as in some cases the heat generated by the preview can cause the media to

bend).

If you have locked exposure and turned off auto-cropping (see "Advanced Workflow

Suggestions") no preview will be performed. In this case, you must focus at scan time,

so either "Scan" or "Both" will ensure focusing.

Advanced Option: This option is displayed when the scanner is capable of auto focus.

Input | Focus

Set this option to a value between -1 and 1 to manually change the device focus. The

nominal value for most scanners is 0.

Advanced Option: This option is displayed when the scanner is capable of auto focus

and when Input | Auto focus (p. 57)is set to "Manual".

Input | Auto scan

If this option is set to "Preview" or "Scan" and if the scanner can sense when an image

is inserted, VueScan will simulate pressing either the Preview button (p. 46) orScan

button (p. 47) when an image is inserted.

This option is reset to "None" if you press the Cancel button (p. 48)

Advanced Option: This option is displayed when the scanner can sense inserted
