	Scanning basics

Three types of scans can be made singularly or in combination depending on the workflow and degree of processing:

Index scan:	to display thumbnails of each image in the 35mm or APS film holder. An
	index scan is useful when scanning multiple frames on one film strip or for
	selecting a specific frame among similar images.
Prescan:	to display a preview of a specific image. A prescan allows an image to be
	cropped or corrected using the utility software’s image-processing tools.
Scan:	to save and export an image. Image size, resolution, and file format are spec-
	ified with this scan.
