Make Suitable Settings

For films
For documents and photos

This section explains how to make settings suitable for materials you want to scan.

For films

Follow the steps below to make settings suitable for scanning films in the Professional Mode.

Place your films on the document table.

Placing Films

Start EPSON Scan and then select the Professional Mode. For details on how to select the scanning mode, see Change the scanning mode.

The following window appears.

Specify the Original settings to match your films.

Document Type	Film
Film Type	Select a film type from the Film Type list.

Specify the Destination settings to match the resulting image file you desire.

Image Type	Select a suitable image type from the Image Type list.
Resolution	Select a suitable resolution from the Resolution list.

When you specify a high resolution, the number of pixels of the data increases and the scanned image becomes fine in texture. However, increasing the resolution causes the data size to increase. Specify a suitable resolution according to the scanning purpose.

The following table indicates the suitable resolution to use according to the scanning purpose.

Purpose	Resolution
Sending E-mail	96 to 150 dpi
Printing	300 dpi
Filing	300 dpi

Click Preview to preview the images.

Specify the output size of the scanned image as Target Size and make adjustments using the image quality adjustment tools, if necessary. (You may need to scroll to the bottom of the screen.)

Click Scan. EPSON Scan starts scanning.

The scanned images are saved to the specified folder.

Scanning in 4800 dpi

When you scan a 35 mm film and enlarge the scanned image to the A2 size, select 4800 from the Resolution list to get a fine quality in texture.

Note:

Be sure to select Original for the Target Size setting.

Increasing the resolution causes the data size to increase.

Increasing the resolution causes the scanning time to increase.

When grains appear on the scanned image, select the Grain Reduction check box and then click SCAN again to reduce them. Selecting a higher Grain Reduction level makes the scanned image softer in texture.

Note:

Grain Reduction is enabled only in the Professional Mode.

Check if the result of Grain Reduction appears on the scanned image.

Grain Reduction applied

Note:

The images shown above are examples only. The actual result of Grain Reduction may differ depending on the condition of the image or film type you scan.
