You can change the view of the Preview image using the “Zoom Tool”, or select a scanning region using the “Frame Selection Tool”. To find out more about how to use these tools, click on the user tips text that appears when your cursor pauses over the tool.

NOTE: You must have a browser installed in order to view the VistaScan online help.

15.In the Click to Scan section of the VistaScan Beginner window, click the icon that corresponds to the type of image you are scanning.

For example, if you are scanning a color photograph, choose “Color Photo”. To scan text or a black and white drawing, choose “Text/Lineart”. The image is scanned and you return to the PhotoDeluxe window.

NOTE: Choosing an icon in the “Click to Scan” area does two things: it activates the scanner, and automatically sets the scanner settings. This ensures you get the best scanning results for the item you are scanning.

16.A pop-up message appears on the right side of the screen indicating that you should click the Done tab.

17.Click the Done tab. A Save as window opens. Enter a file name for the scanned image. Indicate which folder or directory you want to save the image file to, and specify in what file format you want to save the image.

NOTE: If you do not assign a file name, the computer automatically assigns a name that consists of the date, and a two-digit reference number.

18.Enter the graphic title of the image that will appear in the My Photos window.

19.Click on the Save & Send icon. Choose save from the drop-down menu. Click the Save button to save the image.

20.Close the VistaScan window by clicking Exit.
