• For details, see "Cropping" (see page 60).

Focus

The Dimage Scan Dual2 uses the CCD sensor for autofocus.

Autofocus uses the center of the image to determine focus. Normally, this results in an excellent scan because the film plane is flat. However, if the film is warped or curled, or if Autofocus is turned off in the preferences, focus may not be accurate. In this case, the focus adjustment should be performed again using the pont AF or Manual Focus function.

• Automatic autofocus can be turned on and off in the Preferences (page 39).

Image resolution is the number of pixels per inch (ppi or dpi) that represent your scanned image. The size of an image file is determined by its size (dimensions) and resolution.

The rule to follow when scanning is "bigger is better". To obtain the best results, set the output resolution to the highest value your final output device (printer, monitor, etc.) can handle. The driver software automatically determines the input resolution necessary to obtain the desired output size and resolution.

BRIGHTNESS	The lightness or darkness of the image.
CHANNEL	The component of an image. Your scanned image has three channels: red, green, and blue (RGB).
CONTRAST	The gradation of shades in an image. A high contrast image has very dark areas and bright areas without many middle shades. A low contrast image has many tones that are close to the same brightness. Low contrast images are often described as looking 'flat'.
CROP	To trim and delete the unwanted edges of the image.
DPI	Dots (pixels) per inch.
EMULSION SIDE	The side of the film coated with the photographic material.
GAMMA	The contrast of only the middle tones.
HIGHLIGHTS	The lighter areas of the image.
HISTOGRAM	A graph showing the amount of each level of the 256 brightness levels.
INTERPOLATION	A form of adding new pixels in an image when resampling up.
JPEG	The JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) compression standard is capable of producing a high compression ratio while maintaining image quality. JPEG is a widely supported image file format.
MIDTONE	The middle shades of an image, in between light and dark.
NEUTRAL	Having no color cast, such as black, white, or gray.
PICT	(Macintosh operating system only) The PICT graphic file format uses a lossless compression scheme and is compatible with many Macintosh applications.
PIXEL	Abbreviation for picture element. The dots that make up an electronic image.
RESAMPLE	To change the number of pixels in the image. If pixels are discarded when shrinking an image, it is called resampling down. If new pixels are created in an image, it is called resampling up (see page 100).
RESOLUTION	The number of pixels in a given area of the image; such as pixels per inch or pixels per centimeter. High resolution is the term for an image with a lot of pixels in a given area. Low resolution means there are not many pixels in a given area.
RGB	Red, Green, and Blue. These are the colors of the three channels that make up the scanned image. Monitors use red, green, and blue phosphors to create the image you see on the screen.
SHADOWS	The dark areas of an image.
TIFF	Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) files contain bit-mapped data. In addition to being a widely supported format, TIFF is able to handle the color palette needed for professional-quality images and graphics.
USB	In the USB connection, the peripheral devices such as a mouse, printer, scanner, etc. can be connected up to 127 with an interface. Furthermore, the peripheral equipment can be easily set up because the USB connection does not require to specify the ID number or the terminator for each equipment compared with the SCSI devices. It does not matter whether the USB equipment or computer is turned on or off first. In the USB connection, the USB equipment or computer can be connected or disconnected even while the equipment is turned on. When disconnecting and connecting the USB equipment, perform at an interval of 5 seconds or more.
WINDOWS® BMP	(Windows only) The BMP graphic file format is for bit-mapped images. BMP images are supported by the Paint accessory and can easily be opened on most PCs running Windows.
