SETTING THE SCANNER

Trimming/border removal settings

When an image on negative film is scanned and projected onto the scanner screen, the area outside the image appears as a black border around the image. The Automatic Border Removal func- tion can be used to remove this black border around the scanned image.

Trimming allows you to restrict scanning to a specified area of the image.

Border removal allows you either to remove all the black border around the image or to leave a narrow black margin around the image.

• If Positive ( ) is selected as polarity, the Auto- matic Border Removal function cannot be carried out.

In the ISIS/TWAIN Driver or CapturePerfect, “Trim- ming” is called “Framing”, and “Automatic Border Re- moval” is called “Auto-detection”.
