FilmGet FS Features
● A Scanner Driver that Adjusts Images Too
FilmGet FS is the driver software for the CanoScan FS4000US scanner, and is equipped with a
variety of image processing functions and input and output controls. The Windows version can be
opened as a 32-bit TWAIN driver from within TWAIN-compliant application programs. The Macintosh
version can be opened as a plug-in from within plug-in compliant application programs.
● Color Matching System Support
(Windows: ColorGear, Macintosh: ColorSync)
This software supports color matching systems so that the colors read by the scanner are faithfully
reproduced on your monitor without forcing you to perform any troublesome adjustments.
● Batch Scanning of Multiple Frames
Save time and effort by setting the color adjustment and resolution settings for individual frames and
then scanning the selected frames in a single batch. You can scan up to six frames of 35 mm (135)
film, four frames of slide-mounted film, or 40 frames of APS (IX240) film in a single batch.
• APS film refers to APS standard film.
APS is the abbreviation for Advanced Photo System.
● Dirt and Scratch Correction Function FARE
This software is equipped with the FARE (Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) dirt and
scratch correction function. This function eliminates troublesome and time consuming cleaning and
scratch retouching work by automatically identifying dirt and scratches on the film surface and
correcting these defects to provide a clear image.
● Easy Scanning with Auto Settings
Settings for images that are to be used for specific purposes, such as for display on a monitor, for
output to a printer or for transmission in a fax, can be set automatically. You are now free to scan
without bothering with resolution and size settings.
● Tool Tips Provide Guidance
Guidance is always at hand when you position the mouse cursor over a button or tool. The tool tips
provide useful information if you are unsure how to use an item.
● Common Windows and Macintosh User Interface
The Windows and Macintosh versions of FilmGet FS both share the same user-friendly window
design and functions. You can switch between either platform without noticing the transition.

Scanning Procedures
Although scanning procedures vary for each color mode (color, grayscale or black and white), the
basics are the same. Use the following procedures as a guideline. Each step is explained in greater
detail on the referenced pages.
(1) Load the film. See p. 30.
Load the film into the film holder, then insert the film holder into the scanner.
(2) Select the film type. See p. 33.
Select a film type (color/monochrome, negative/positive) matching the film you are scanning.
(3) Set the color mode. See p. 34.
Select between
[24-Bit Color]
and
[42-Bit Color]
for the color mode, between
[8-Bit Grayscale]
and
[14-Bit Grayscale]
for the grayscale mode, and
[Black and White]
for the black and white mode.
(4) Check the images with a thumbnail scan. See p. 36.
Initiate a thumbnail scan of all the frames of the film loaded into the film holder, and check the
thumbnail images.
(5) Select one or more frames. See p. 37.
(6) Adjust the thumbnail images. See p. 38.
If necessary, change the orientations of the thumbnail images by rotating or flipping the images with
the tool buttons.
(7) Preview the images. See p. 40.
Preview the selected frames to make sure they are to your satisfaction.
(8) Determine the image size and resolution. See p. 45.
Set the resolution, output target and image size according to the purpose of the scanned image.
(9) Adjust the brightness and coloring. See p. 46.
If the preview images are not to your satisfaction, adjust the color balance and brightness of images
scanned in color mode, the brightness of images scanned in grayscale mode and the threshold
value of images scanned in black and white mode.
(10) Select the scan area. See p. 47.
Drag the mouse cursor to select the scan area if you wish to crop the image.
(11) Initiate the final scan. See p. 49.

Loading Film
Inserting the Film Holder
Load the film into the film holder and carefully insert the film holder straight into the film holder slot of
the scanner. Once the film holder has been inserted past a certain point, it is automatically drawn into
the scanner.
• If the film holder is facing the wrong direction or tilted, you will not be able to insert it.
• For more information on loading film, see “Chapter 5 Setting the Film in Position” in Getting Started.
When the film holder is inserted into the scanner, frames and buttons will appear in the FilmGet FS
thumbnail window.
• When you insert the film holder, calibration is performed automatically and the message “Calibrating...” will be
displayed. This calibration is to teach the correct “white (reference color)” to the scanner in order to scan film
with more accurate colors.
• Although it takes about one minute to complete the calibration operation the first time that the operation is
performed after the scanner is turned on, subsequent calibration operations will be completed in about ten
seconds.
(1) Hold the film
holder
horizontally with
the mark
facing upwards.
(2) Check that the [R] mark can be seen properly from
the right side.
(3) Insert the end with the
mark into the film holder slot of
the scanner.

Determining the Color Mode
You may select from among five color modes.
24-Bit Color
Select this setting to scan standard color films. The image is
expressed in 256 tones (8 bits) per RGB (red, green and blue)
channel.
42-Bit Color
Select this setting when a particularly high-quality color image is
required. The image is expressed in 16,384 tones (14 bits) per RGB
channel. The scanning time will be longer and the file will be larger
than the corresponding 24-bit color file. This requires an application
program such as Photoshop that supports 42-bit color.
8-Bit Grayscale
Select this setting for monochrome films or when a monochrome
image is desired. The image is expressed in 256 tones (black, white
and 254 gray shades).
14-Bit Grayscale
Select this setting when a particularly high-
quality grayscale image is required. The
image is expressed in 16,384 tones (black,
white and 16,382 gray shades). The file will
be larger than the corresponding 8-bit
grayscale file. This requires an application
program such as Photoshop that supports
14-bit color.
Black and White
Images are expressed in two colors only:
black and white. Light and dark areas of the
image are expressed as either black or white
according to the threshold value. The
threshold value can be freely set.

Final Scan
Initiate the final scan after you have selected the frames, set the scan settings, adjusted the
brightness and coloring, and selected a scan area.
Scanning the Selected Frames
FilmGet FS makes it possible to perform batch scans. If you have already selected the frames that
you wish to scan at the thumbnail window, all you need to do is click the
[Scan]
button to batch scan
the selected frames in order of the frame numbers.
The scanned images will not appear in the preview area, and will instead be transferred to the
application program from which FilmGet FS was started. The FilmGet FS windows will remain
displayed even after scanning has finished. To scan other film, repeat the procedures from the
beginning of this chapter.
• Photoshop LE allows you to open a maximum of 30 files at one time. If you plan to scan more than 30 frames
consecutively, scan 30 frames and save them to files in Photoshop LE. Then quit Photoshop LE, start
Photoshop LE and FilmGet FS again, and scan the remaining frames.
• If no frames are selected at the thumbnail window, the [Scan] button will be grayed out and scanning will not
be possible.
• If the “Insufficient hard disk space” message or a similar message appears during the final scan, it means that
your hard drive is too full to store the data for the final scan. Delete unnecessary files from the hard drive to free
sufficient space and reinitiate the final scan.
• If the “Size of combined image files exceeds the maximum setting.” message or a similar message appears,
follow the procedures instructed by the message and reinitiate the final scan. You can also solve this problem
by removing the check from the “Max. Combined Image File Size” option in the [Preferences...] item of the
[Settings] menu. See p. 92.

Scan Setting Modes
Once you have previewed and inspected the images, you can set the scan settings for specific
purposes. These settings use the modes in the scan settings section, and set how finely to scan the
image, the purpose for which the scanned image will be used, the image size and so on.
• You can set the scan settings independently for each frame which has a preview image.
• If you have made a thumbnail scan, you can set the same scan settings for all images.
• If you do not adjust the scan settings, the image will be scanned at the previously set settings.
Important Facts about Scan Settings
The input resolution, output resolution and image width and height are important scan settings.
■
What is the Input Resolution?
When the scanner scans film it reads the image as a collection of dots. The relative density of these
dots is referred to as the “resolution.” Since this is the input stage of the scanning process, this
resolution is referred to as the “input resolution.” The illustration below shows the same image
scanned with different input resolutions.
• Resolution is measured in units called dots per inch (dpi). This measures the number of dots contained in one
linear inch.
• Each dot is assigned individual brightness and color values.
■
What is the Output Resolution?
The output resolution is the name used to describe the relative density of the dots that form an image
when it is reproduced after scanning. Printing an image on a printer, transmitting it as a fax or
displaying it on a monitor are examples of how a scanned image may be output.

Image Width and Height
The image width and height settings determine the size at which an image will be reproduced when
it is output to a printer or displayed on a monitor.
The scan settings would require considerable time and effort to set correctly if you had to manually
set the input resolution, output resolution, and image width and height to achieve a particular result.
Fortunately, FilmGet FS simplifies this process by providing five preset modes that correspond to
various uses of the image. Detailed settings can be achieved almost automatically by selecting the
mode best suited to your purposes and then adjusting only the settings you wish.
Guide to the Scan Settings Section
The scan settings section is used to adjust the scan settings. Switch between modes by clicking one
of the five buttons. When FilmGet FS is first installed, the file mode is selected.
Custom Mode. See p. 65.
Select this mode when you wish to scan with customized scan settings that have been added to the
FilmGet FS list. Scan settings that have been added using the
[Add…]
button can also be selected from
this mode.
File Mode. See p. 56.
Select this mode when you scan an image for the
purpose of saving it to a file.
Text/Printer/Fax Mode. See p. 60.
Select this mode when you scan an image to paste
it into a document file, print it on a printer or send it
as a fax.
Display Mode. See p. 62.
Select this mode when you scan an image to
display it on a monitor.
Photo Size Mode. See p. 63.
Select this mode when you wish to output the image
at a typical photo print size.

Procedures Common to All Scan Modes
This topic introduces the procedures that are common to all five scan modes.
Settings
Click the arrow beside any settings item to display a pull-down
menu with all the selectable options. Highlight an item with the mouse
cursor and click to select it.
Select the
[Add/Delete…]
option from any menu to add or delete
items to and from the list. See p. 69, “Adding and Deleting Menu
Items,” for more information.
Units
Click the arrow beside any units box to display a pull-down menu
with all the selectable options. Highlight an item with the mouse cursor
and click to select it. Changing the units will also change the numbers
in the image size boxes to corresponding values.
• The term “pixel” (picture element) is virtually equivalent in meaning to the “dots” used to describe resolution.
This unit of measure is often used to describe the size of an image, particularly when it is displayed on a
monitor.
Text Boxes and Grayed Out
Values
You can input optional values into the white text boxes. Input values
are set by pressing the
[Tab]
key. Grayed out items indicate values
that are automatically calculated as a function of other settings. These
values cannot be changed.

Aspect Ratio of the Scan
Area
Select this item when you wish to change the aspect ratio of the
selected scan area. Changes to this ratio are immediately reflected to
the scan area selection frame in the preview area. The image size
settings will also change accordingly.
Standard Aspect Ratios
• The aspect ratios of custom sizes may be freely changed.
• This button is grayed out and not available when the scan mode is set to the photo size mode.
• If you rotate the image by 90 degrees, the width and height ratio will be reversed.
• When FilmGet FS is first installed, [Custom Size] is selected.
[Add...] Button
If you use a particular scan setting regularly, you can assign it a name
and add it to the list. The items you add will be displayed in the
custom mode pull-down menu. See p. 68, “Adding Scan Settings,” for
more information.

Using File Mode
Select
[File Mode]
when you scan an image for the purpose of saving it to a file. When FilmGet FS is
first installed, this mode is selected.
Selecting an Input Resolution
The input resolution box sets the resolution at which an image will be scanned. The higher the value,
the finer the resolution, and conversely, the lower the value, the coarser the resolution. Select the
value best suited to your purposes. Note that the values you select for the input resolution determine
the image and file sizes.
■
How File Sizes Vary with the Input Resolution
The higher the input resolution, the larger the image file. If the file is too large, it can slow down
processing and may overload your computer’s memory resources. To illustrate the difference in
file size, the results of an image scanned from 35 mm film in 24-bit color mode at the respective
input resolutions are shown below.
(1) Click the [File Mode] button.
(3) Select an output resolution.
(4) Set the image width and
height.

(2) Select an input resolution.

How the Input Resolution, Image Size and File Size Relate
To understand the relationship between the three settings, see the example below of image sizes
(pixels) for an image scanned in the file mode at different input resolutions.
Example with the Input Resolution Changed from 500 to 1000 dpi
An input resolution of 1000 dpi signifies that one linear inch of the scanned image contains
1000 dots (= pixels). Since the number of dots has been increased (doubled in this case), the
image size (pixels) has increased (doubled) by a corresponding amount.
Since the width and height were each doubled, the file size is quadrupled (704 KB x 2 (width) x 2
(height) = 2816 KB in the example above).
When you wish to save a scanned image to a file, it is helpful to keep this relationship in mind. In
this case, there is no need to pay attention to the output resolution.
• These numbers are approximate and
may differ from actual results.

How the Output Resolution and Image Size Relate
To understand the relationship between the two settings, see the example below of image sizes
(cm) for an image scanned in the file mode at different output resolutions.
Example with the Output Resolution Changed from 500 to 1000 dpi
An output resolution of 1000 dpi signifies that one linear inch of an image output to a printer or to a
monitor will contain 1000 dots (= pixels). Since the image was scanned at a density of 500 dots
per inch and is being output at twice that density, the image size is cut in half. You are, in effect,
placing more of the image in less space.
Keep this relationship in mind when you need to pay attention to the size of the output image.
• These numbers are approximate and
may differ from actual results.

Procedures Common to All Image Adjustment Modes
This topic introduces the procedures that are common to all image adjustment modes.
Channel Selection Panel
The color of each dot comprising the scanned image is expressed as a mixture of varying gradations
of red (R), green (G) and blue (B). The settings for each of these colors, which are referred to as
channels, can be adjusted individually or together via the master channel.
Channels are only displayed with the histogram and tone curve modes. Moreover, the red, green and
blue channels are all grayed out and cannot be selected when the color mode has been set to either
of the grayscale modes.
Sliders and Input Boxes
You can adjust or set a setting by dragging the slider tab left or right. The value in the input box will
change accordingly. You may also input a value directly into the box. In this case the slider will
change accordingly.
Master Channel
Adjusts or sets all three colors at once.
Red Channel
Adjusts or sets only the red elements of the image.
Green Channel
Adjusts or sets only the green elements of the image.

Interpreting Tone Curves
Adjusting a Tone Curve
The images below demonstrate how to adjust the brightness of an image by changing the tone
curve.
In FilmGet FS, the input is the data scanned by the
scanner and the output is the data displayed on the
monitor. The tone curve shows the balance between the
highlights and shadows in the input and output.
.
Unadjusted Tone Curve
• Make the curve as smooth
as possible to provide a
natural appearance. You
can check the preview
image to see the effect of
any changes.
The input halftone data values are shifted to the
highlight side in the output, making the image
appear brighter in the display.
The input halftone data values are shifted to the
shadow side in the output, making the image
appear darker in the display.
The input highlights and shadows are accentuated,
sharpening the contrast of the image.

,
[24-Bit Color]
,
[14-Bit Grayscale]
or
[8-Bit Grayscale]
. Use this mode to adjust the overall

Adjusting the Brightness
Adjusting the brightness is effective when the entire image is too bright or dark. You must be careful,
however, not to create excessive highlights or shadows by setting the value to extreme levels.
Adjusting the Contrast
Contrast is the degree of difference between light and dark areas of the image. Raising the contrast
accentuates the difference between light and dark. Lowering it reduces the difference between the
two.
Raising the contrast of blurred pictures is effective in adding clarity to the image. Raising the contrast
too high, however, will obscure the dark portions or create excessive highlights.
Brightness = Neutral Brightness > Neutral Brightness < Neutral
Contrast = Neutral Contrast > Neutral Contrast < Neutral

. Use this mode to adjust the balance between the three colors: red (R), green (G) and
blue (B). This mode is especially useful when a particular color is too strong or weak.
Guide to the Color Balance Tab
• RGB is the acronym for the three primary colors: red, green and blue. These colors can be mixed in different
combinations (gradients) to form all the colors in the visible light spectrum. You can use the color balance
adjustment mode to adjust the level of each primary color in the image.

Adjusting the Threshold Value
The threshold value adjustment mode is available when the color mode is set to
[Black and White]
.
In contrast to color and grayscale images, which are expressed with brightness settings ranging
from 0 to 255, all the halftones in black and white images are expressed as either black (0) or white
(255). The point at which a particular dot is assigned a black or white value is called the threshold
value. The default threshold value is 128.
Guide to the Threshold Value Tab
You can obtain different effects with an image by changing the threshold value as shown below. The
threshold functions as a cutoff beyond which all data with lower values are changed to black and all
data with higher values are changed to white. Accordingly, the higher the threshold, the darker the
image, and conversely, the lower the threshold, the brighter the image.
Threshold Value Input Box
Input a value from 0 to 255 and press the
[Tab]
key to set the value. You can also use the
arrow keys to adjust the value.

Adjusting the Exposure
When FilmGet FS is first installed, the “Auto Gain” option is set to on (checked) by default. This is the
setting you are recommended to use in most cases. With this setting the exposure (amount of light
passing through the film) and coloring (negative film only) are set automatically by the scanner.
However, if a film is not producing well with this setting, you can turn off the Auto Gain option and
adjust the exposure manually. You may also wish to use the manual setting if you are scanning a film
that has been intentionally under- or overexposed, or that contains an image that is extremely bright
or dark. The default exposure value is 0.
• You cannot use the auto gain mode when the “Use Color Matching” option is on. To use the auto gain mode,
first set the “Use Color Matching” option to off. See p. 89, “Use Color Matching” for an explanation of switching
the Use Color Matching option.
• The setting is reflected to all frames of the film loaded into the holder. You cannot set each frame individually.

• The scanning process involves passing light through the film and reading the resulting data. You can adjust an
image’s brightness by controlling the amount of light, which may also be called the exposure. The exposure is
controlled by speeding up or slowing down the rate of the scan.
Changes to the exposure value are reflected immediately to the preview image. An overexposed
image appears very bright, while an underexposed image appears very dark.
Setting the Clean Dust/Scratches Function (FARE)
This option sets whether to automatically identify dirt and scratches on the film surface and correct

Adjusting the Focus
This option sets whether to focus the lens automatically during scanning. When FilmGet FS is first
installed, the “Autofocus” option is set to on (checked) by default.
“Autofocus” can normally be used without problems, but when film warping, distortion or other
factors make the image appear blurry, set the “Autofocus” option to off and adjust the focus

Use Color Matching
(Windows: ColorGear, Macintosh: ColorSync)
This mode automatically corrects characteristic differences in color output between scanners and
monitors. With this option on, matching the original image colors to the colors on the monitor output is
much easier. (When FilmGet FS is first installed, this option is off by default.)
However, when this option is on, the color is automatically adjusted during preview and final
scanning, so histogram and other image adjustments are not available (See p. 71). To scan with
image adjustments, first set the “Use Color Matching” option to off. This option is only effective when
the color mode is set to
[24-Bit Color]
or
[42-Bit Color]
.
The color matching on/off setting will be displayed in the image adjustment section.
• The color matching system for this scanner is ColorGear for the Windows version and ColorSync for the

Correcting the Gamma Value
The gamma value aims to match the brightness of the image displayed on the monitor to the
brightness of the original document (film). Individual monitors reproduce colors in characteristic
ways that are summarized by their “gamma values.” The gamma values of most monitors fall
within a range of 1.4 to 2.2, which reproduces colors slightly darker than the original. To faithfully
reproduce the original colors, it is necessary to compensate for your monitor’s gamma value with
the FilmGet FS setting. The program generally adjusts the monitor’s gamma value to 1.8 for both
the Windows and Macintosh version, but if your monitor does not operate at this default value, you
will need to adjust it.

Glossary
■
Auto Correct Tool
An automatic function that adjusts the highlights and shadows of a preview image to optimal values.
■
Bits/Number of Bits
• A 1-bit image can only be expressed in black and white. The threshold value determines which
value, black or white, is used to represent a dot that carries a given brightness value.
• An 8-bit grayscale image can be expressed in black, white and 254 shades of gray.
• A 14-bit grayscale image can be expressed in black, white and 16,382 shades of gray. The file is
approximately double the size of an 8-bit grayscale file.
• A 24-bit color image can be expressed in 16.7 million colors, which is achieved by combining 256
shades of red, green and blue (8 bits each) to each dot.
• A 42-bit color image can be expressed in 4.4 trillion colors, which is achieved by combining
16,384 shades of red, green and blue (14 bits each) to each dot. The file is approximately double
the size of a 24-bit color file.
■
Black Point Eyedropper Tool
A tool for sampling a portion of an image adjusted with the histogram adjustment mode. All areas of
the image that are darker than the point sampled are changed to black. See also “White Point
Eyedropper Tool.”
■
Brightness
The relative brightness of an image or part of an image detected by the scanner when scanning. The
higher the value, the brighter the image, and conversely, the lower the value, the darker the image.
■
Calibration
A scanner driver function that automatically sets the correct white color balance to scan film with
more accurate colors.
■
Channel
The red, green and blue elements of a color image. Color images have 14 bits of data per pixel for
each channel, so each pixel has 42 bits of data. The brightness and contrast can be varied
individually for the red, green and blue colors when scanning a color image. The master channel is
the composite of these three colors.

■
Color Balance
The balance between the red, green and blue elements in an image. You can adjust the color
balance when a particular color is too strong or weak.
■
Color Matching
The gamut of colors scanned with a particular scanner occasionally varies from those reproduced on
a particular monitor. Use of a color matching system ensures that the devices reproduce the colors
the same way.
■
Coloring
The color balance of an image. The image coloring can be adjusted by fine tuning the balance of
red, green and blue or cyan, magenta and yellow.
■
Contrast
The difference between the highlights and shadows in a scanned film. Raising the contrast has the
effect of clarifying the image, while lowering it produces a somewhat blurry appearance.
■
Dot
The basic element on which images are built. The density of dots in a scanned image is referred to
as the image’s resolution, which is measured in dots per inch.
■
dpi
The acronym for dots per inch. The resolution of monitors and printers is expressed as the number of
dots displayed or printed in one horizontal inch. See also “Pixel” “Optical Resolution” and
“Resolution.”
■
Gamma Value
A setting to match the brightness of inputs (the original film) to outputs (the image shown on a
monitor or printed out).
■
Grayscale
An image type which reads only the brightness of the image and expresses it in 256 tones (8 bits) or
16,384 tones (14 bits) from black to white.
■
Halftones (Mid-tones)
Shades of gray between the brightest (highlights) and darkest (shadows) portions of an image.

FilmGet FS User’s Guide
■
Histogram
A graphical representation of the distribution of data bearing varying brightness values in an image.
Brightness is expressed as a value ranging from 0 to 255. The histogram shows exactly how much of
the sampled area is distributed between bright areas (highlights) and dark areas (shadows).
■
Image File
An image that has been expressed as a collection of dots that are assigned varying color and
brightness values and that has been converted into a data format that can be read by a computer.
The fundamental structure of an image file is a bitmap, the horizontal and vertical arrangement of the
dot information, which is supplemented by other data in popular image formats, such as TIFF, JPEG
and BMP formats.
■
Color Mode
A mode that is selected to scan an image. The available options are 42-bit color, 24-bit color, 14-bit
grayscale, 8-bit grayscale and black and white.
■
Input Resolution
When the scanner scans film it reads the image as a collection of dots. The input resolution is the
setting for how finely to read the image. Raising the value increases the image file size.
■
Optical Resolution
The resolution at which a scanner reads information from the object it scans. See also “dpi” and
“Resolution.”
■
Output Resolution
The resolution for output to a printer (printing), fax, monitor (display) or file.
■
Pixel
The acronym for picture element. A pixel is the smallest unit forming an image.
■
Plug-in
Plug-in refers to software whose functions can be added by incorporation into application software.
For example, FilmGet FS for Macintosh is plug-in software (plug-in driver) that can be incorporated
into image processing software such as Photoshop LE. In this case, FilmGet FS for Macintosh can be
started up directly from the menu of that image processing software, and scanned images can be
displayed on that image processing software. See also “TWAIN.”
■
Preview
A low resolution scan of a film image that is displayed in the preview area. The preview image is used
to inspect the image, select the area of the image for the final scan (scan area), adjust the brightness
and coloring, and carry out other image processing.

Preview Area
The right side of the FilmGet FS main window, which is used to display preview images. Click the
[Preview]
button to initiate a preview scan of the film. Note that the image displayed in the preview
area has not yet been acquired by the application program from which FilmGet FS was started.
■
Resolution
The density of dots that comprise an image. The fineness or coarseness of an image is expressed as
the number of dots per inch (dpi). See also “dpi.”
■
RGB
The acronym for the primary colors of light: red, green and blue. The scanner passes light through
the film, which is then detected by red, green and blue sensors. Most color printers, on the other
hand, use the complementary colors to RGB, namely cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) to
express colors. Cyan, magenta and yellow are also called the primary colors of color.
■
Scanner Self Test
A function that tests the scanner for malfunctions. Click the
[Device]
menu and select
[Self Test…]
to start the scanner self test and receive a report of any scanner problems detected.
■
Selector Tool
The tool used to select a portion of the image for scanning. In the FilmGet FS main window, the
selector tool can be used to select a particular area of a preview image for final scanning.
■
Slider
A device on many settings tabs for adjusting settings values. Drag the slider tab left or right to adjust
the value.
■
Threshold
The brightness value at which a dot or pixel is assigned a black or white color in an image scanned
in black and white mode. Raising the threshold value makes the image darker, and lowering it makes
the image brighter.
■
Thumbnail Scan
All the frames of the film loaded into the scanner are scanned at low resolution and displayed as
thumbnail (small) images in the thumbnail window. These images displayed in the thumbnail window
are then selected (frame selection) for previewing in the main window or final scanning.
■
Toolbar
The toolbars located on the left side of the preview area and at the top of the thumbnail window
contain the set of tools used to rotate and flip images.

TWAIN
A worldwide standard for devices, such as scanners and digital cameras, that transmit data to
computers. TWAIN is the acronym for Technology Without An Interesting Name. It is a standardized
application programming interface (API) for input devices, such as film scanners. If both the input
device and software comply with this standard, the two are compatible regardless of the
manufacturer or model type. For example, the scanner TWAIN driver (e.g. FilmGet FS for Windows)
can be directly started from the menu of an image processing application program and the scanned
images can be displayed in the application program.
■
White Point Eyedropper Tool
A tool for sampling a portion of an image adjusted with the histogram adjustment mode. All areas of
the image that are lighter than the point sampled are changed to white. See also “Black Point
Eyedropper Tool.”
■
Zoom In
The process of magnifying the preview window to see an image in greater detail.
