“Auto Expose for Slides” checkbox

This option allows you to select whether to perform auto exposure during the prescan or

the final scan when using colour slides. As colour slide users often adjust the exposure

and colour when taking a photograph, the Auto Expose function when performing the

prescan or final scan is turned off in the default setting (The checkmark is not on the

checkbox). However, when scanning a slide which is underexposed or when using the AE

Lock or AE Area lock function (see page 56 to 57), click on the checkbox of “Auto Expose

for Slide” so that the Auto Expose function is turned on.

“Auto Focus at Scan” checkbox

This option allows you to select whether to use the Autofocus function when performing

the prescan or the final scan.

To obtain higher scanning speed, the Autofocus function is turned off in the default setting

(The checkmark is not on the checkbox). However, if you intend to use the Autofocus

function when scanning, click on the checkbox of “Auto Focus at Scan”.

When using the Digital ICE, ROC or Digital GEM function (see page 85), it is

recommended to turn on the Autofocus function by clicking on the checkbox of “Auto

Focus at Scan”.

“Close Driver After Scanning” checkbox

This option allows you to select whether to close the driver software after scanning when

using Twain driver or Plug-in Software and image editing application.

The driver software is specified not to be closed after scanning in the default setting (The

checkmark is not on the checkbox). This setting is convenient when scanning multiple

images continuously and loading them into an image editing application such as Adobe

Photoshop.

However, if you intend to retouch each image in the editing software after scanning, click

on the checkbox to display the checkmark.

SETTING THE PREFERENCES

“Colour depth” setting list box

This option allows you to specify the format when outputting the scanned data to a file or an application

software. Select one from the following items of the list box.

The default setting is 8 bit.

• 8 bit Outputs an image of 8 bits for each R, G or B channel

• 16 bit Outputs an image of 16 bits for each R, G or B channel

• 16 bit linear Outputs an image of 16 bits for each R, G or B channel but corrections such as a gamma

correction cannot be made. Therefore, when scanning a negative film, it is output as a

negative image.

* Only TIFF can be selected when using the utility software and selecting 16 bit or 16 bit linear as a colour depth.

* When selecting 16 bit, the image size display in the Scan Settings window is represented in the 16 bit size (8 bit x 2).

* Some types of graphic application software cannot handle 16 bit image files.

“Multi Sample” scan setting list box

This option allows you to select the Multi-Sampling setting. This function reduces random noise in the image

by analyzing the data of a number of sample scans in advance. Select one of the following items from the

list box.

The Multi-Sample Scanning function is turned off in the default setting.

• OFF No processing.

• 2 times Perform sampling 2 times.

• 4 times Perform sampling 4 times.

• 8 times Perform sampling 8 times.

• 16 times Perform sampling 16 times.

* The more times the image is sampled, the longer the required time for scanning.

“Preview Size” selecting list box

Select the display size of the prescan image. The default setting is “Small”.

• Large A prescan image is displayed in its original size.

• Small A prescan image is displayed in the reduced size.

“Index Scan priority” selection button

This option allows you to select either a high speed index scan or a quality index scan by clicking on

“Speed” or “Quality”. The default setting is “Speed”.

• Speed This performs the index scan at high speed. The autofocus function is not used while scanning.

The index images are displayed in a thumbnail representation after only easy-auto expose

function is performed for each frame. When index scanning with a 35 mm film holder (FH-P1), the

frame order will differ from that of the actual film frame order. This setting is to allow an even

speedier index scan. The scanning order is as the numbers marked on the holder 2-1-3-4-6-5.

• Quality After prescanning each frame, the size of the prescan images is reduced and those images are

displayed in the thumbnail representation. Therefore, it takes longer to display index images.

However, the prescan image can then be immediately displayed just by double-clicking the index

image. Whether the autofocus function or the auto expose function for a colour slide film is

performed when prescanning depends on the setting of Auto Focus at Scan or Auto Exposure for

Slides.

The Tone Curves part allows you to change the tone curves and directly correct the output

value.

The Histogram part allows you to specify the input and output area from the information

included in a film and correct images. Also, this dialog box displays the histogram of the image

area inside the cropping frame in each RGB colour. The level is indicated in 256 colour steps

(0 to 255) from left to right side.

The tone curves and histogram are linked to each other so that when the tone curve is

corrected, the histogram is automatically corrected.

1. Click on the arrow next to the channel to display

the available channel (RGB, R, G, B).

2. Select the channel of the colour to be corrected.

3. Click and drag the portion of the curve to be

changed.

• The coordinate value of the cursor is displayed from 0 to

255.

• The correction made by changing the tone curves is

applied to the prescan image.

• You can also change the tone curves by freehand.

TONE CURVES AND HISTOGRAM

SETTING THE WHITE, BLACK OR GREY POINTS

White point (highlight point) indicates the section you want to

lighten, Black point (shadow point) the section you want to

darken, and Grey the section you want to have as neutral tone.

An image with no highlight or shadow will not be clear and

appear dull. You can correct the image by adjusting the White

point/Black point/Grey point buttons to enhance the highlight or

shadow point so that the image will have good contrast

and not be all white or black. Also if the image has too

much contrast, you can correct it by weakening the

highlight or shadow point.

• Changes are automatically applied to the prescan

image.

Setting the White Point

1. Double-click on .

• The Point Value Setting dialog box is displayed.

• The initial value of the White point is 255 in each R, G

and B.

2. Input the desired white point value.

3. Click on .

• The cursor changes to the white dropper shape.

4. Click the desired highlight point of the image.

• The image is corrected so that the point you clicked is

the highlight point. The colour of the highlight point is the

white dropper value you input in step 2.

• The change will be reflected in the prescan image.

• You need to identify the true highlight points of the image, not

pure white points that have no detail, such as reflection

points. White with no detail is called specular white and ink

will not be used in these parts when printing.

• Normally, if you set each R, G, B colour to 250 to 253, white

will have less brightness. You may lose the gleam of a white

cup.

Amount:

If you adjust the slider to increase (to the right), Pixels increasing the level

of contrast will become larger. If you increase the value too much, Pixelation

(the Pixels image becoming noticeably rough) will occur. Normally, we

recommend 150 to 200% for highly processed print images.

Radius:

If you adjust the slide to increase (to the right) or input a value, the edge of

the Pixel will become sharper. Set it to determine how the sharpening effect

is extended around each pixel. Normally, we recommend 1 to 2 for highly

processed print images. This alteration cannot be recognized much on a

print as it will be on the screen.

Threshold level:

If the difference between the surrounding pixels is greater than that of the

threshold level, that pixel is recognized as a requiring sharpening. This

restricts the effect to places where it is reduced.

Dark Part Protection level:

This limits the sharpening effect, so that only pixels whose light level is

greater then the selected level are sharpened.

Image resolution is the number of pixels per inch (ppi or dpi) that represent your scanned

image. The size of an image file is determined by its size (dimensions) and resolution.

The rule to follow when scanning is "bigger is better". To obtain the best results, set the output

resolution to the highest value your final output device (printer, monitor, etc.) can handle. The

driver software automatically determines the input resolution necessary to obtain the desired

output size and resolution.

1. Click on in the Scan settings part of the window.

2. Select the appropriate

category from the drop-down list.

1. Click on the name of the job in the Main

window scan settings part.

2. After clicking on the job name to be

deleted,

Windows®: Press the Delete key.

Macintosh: Press the Command key

and D key simultaneously.

The deleted job cannot be restored again. If you

delete the job mistakenly, register the job again.

WHAT A JOB?

Before scanning, it is necessary to make various settings in the Scan Settings window (see

page 92) such as the amount of detail required to read the original film (input resolution), the

amount of detail required for output (output resolution), the size required for output (output

size/magnifications), etc.

It is important that these settings are made properly in order to achieve optimal results for the

size and/or purpose of the final image. A beginner may find these settings to be complicated

and difficult to understand.

“Job” is a function that allows you to save all the item settings made to the Scan Settings

window to a particular file so that this file can be recalled when necessary for any future jobs

that require the same settings. Properly used, this function can simplify the complicated

process of setting the resolution, image size, magnifications, etc. scanner settings, so that

even a beginner can easily execute the ideal settings required for the job.

Up to 8 items can be set to numerical values in the Scan Settings window. One pattern

reflecting settings for each of the 8 items can be saved to a Job file. Should these settings be

changed, the new settings can be saved to another job file. All Job files are collected within the

“Job File List” that designates 10 individual categories for each image output destination

(device to which the job is to be output). In total, approximately 570 different types are

available.

Because other optional settings can be registered to the Job File List, intermediate and

advanced users can increase their work efficiency by saving commonly used scanner settings

to the Job File List. Also, it is possible to reduce work time by saving settings to the Job File

List when specific settings are required, regardless of the image to be scanned.

• When installing the setup program (installer) by following the instructions, the job files are

installed in the following folders for each category.

When using Windows

(The startup hard disk assumes drive C.)

[C:]/[Program Files] folder/[DS_MultiPRO] folder / [Job] folder

When using Macintosh

[System] folder /[Start Up Disk]/[Preferences] folder / [DS Multi PRO Jobs] folder

• For adding or deleting a job file, see “Registering a Job” or “Deleting a Job” described on the

previous page. The files in the folders described above cannot be operated with Explorer (or

Finder on Macintosh).

• The “Scan Job File List” in which all the scan job settings are listed, appears on pages 110 to

123.

DiMAGE Scan Multi PRO 97

SCAN JOB TYPE

Before making the final scan, the scanner needs to know how big the final image will be and

the quality of output that will be used (printer, monitor, etc.) so it knows what resolution to scan

the film. Using the Job function is a quick and easy way to enter the scan settings.

IEEE 1394 INTERFACE

COLOUR MATCHING

106

IEEE 1394 INTERFACE

The IEEE1394 (FireWire for Macintosh by Apple Computer, Inc.) Interface has a High-speed

serial bass standard which enables you to connect peripheral units such as scanners, exterior

CD-R drive, etc. together with digital equipment such as a video camera to a personal

computer.

Since the IEEE1394 Interface connection does not require ID numbers or terminator settings

for each units such as a SCSI, it enables easy connection of the peripheral units. Also, using 1

Interface it can connect up to 63 units to a personal computer.

When turning on or off the power, it makes no difference what you operate first the IEEE1394

Interface unit or the personal computer.

You can connect or disconnect the IEEE1394 Interface unit or the personal computer while the

power is turned on. However, if any of the devices in the daisy chain are transfering data,

do not unplug or connect the IEEE1394 cable.

To disconnect the IEEE1394 Interface unit:

For Windows 2000 Professional

1. Close the driver software.

2. Confirm that the indicator lamp is not blinking.

3. Disconnect the IEEE 1394 cable.

For Windows Me

1. Close the driver software.

2. Confirm that the indicator lamp is not blinking.

3. Double click on the Unplug-or-eject-hardware icon( ) located on the task bar. The unplug-

or-eject-hardware window will open.

4. The hardware devices to be stopped will be displayed. Select “Minolta DiMAGE Scan Multi

PRO” and click “Stop.”

5. A confirmation screen will appear. Clicking “OK” will stop the device.

6. The safe-to-remove-hardware screen will appear. Click “OK.” The scanner can now be safely

disconnected from the computer.

When you re/discommect the IEEE1394Interface unit. make sure to leave a 5-second interval

before connection.

The maximum length of the cable connecting the peripheral units is 4.5 m.

This unit does not provide a power source of the IEEE1394. It is necessary to obtain an AC

power source separately.

DiMAGE Scan Multi PRO 107

COLOUR MATCHING

Reproducing the colour and gradation of the image data you have captured with the scanner

will differ, depending on the characteristics of the output unit (monitor or printer).

In order to lessen the difference in colour reproduction, it is necessary to match the colour

preference that deals with colour (called output colour space), and also to correct the

characteristics of the unit in order to output in that preference.

With the DiMAGE Scan Multi PRO colour matching function, match the scanning image to the

specified colour space (such as sRGB), or by using the ICC profile (a file that states the

characteristics of the monitor’s colour reproduction ) to reproduce an image suitable for your

monitor.

You can make the colour of the scanned image on the monitor display be very close to the

film.

1. Click on in the Main window.

GLOSSARY

BRIGHTNESS The lightness or darkness of the image.

CHANNEL The component of an image. Your scanned image has three channels:

red, green, and blue (RGB).

CONTRAST The gradation of shades in an image. A high contrast image has very

dark areas and bright areas without many middle shades. A low contrast

image has many tones that are close to the same brightness. Low

contrast images are often described as looking ‘flat’.

CROP To trim and delete the unwanted edges of the image.

DPI Dots (pixels) per inch.

EMULSION SIDE The side of the film coated with the photographic material.

GAMMA The contrast of only the middle tones.

HIGHLIGHTS The lighter areas of the image.

HISTOGRAM A graph showing the amount of each level of the 256 brightness levels.

IEEE 1394 Refer to the page 106.

INTERPOLATION A methord of adding new pixels to an image when resampling up.

JPEG The JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) compression standard is

capable of producing a high compression ratio while maintaining image

quality. JPEG is a widely supported image file format.

MIDTONE The middle shades of an image, in between light and dark.

NEUTRAL Having no colour cast, such as black, white, or grey.

PICT (Macintosh operating system only) The PICT graphic file format uses a

lossless compression scheme and is compatible with many Macintosh

applications.

PIXEL Abbreviation for picture element. The dots that make up an electronic

image.

RESAMPLE To change the number of pixels in the image. If pixels are discarded

when shrinking an image, it is called resampling down. If new pixels are

created in an image, it is called resampling up (see page 89).

RESOLUTION The number of pixels in a given area of the image; such as pixels per

inch or pixels per centimetre. High resolution is the term for an image

with a lot of pixels in a given area. Low resolution means there are not

many pixels in a given area.

DiMAGE Scan Multi PRO 125

GLOSSARY

RGB Red, Green, and Blue. These are the colors of the three channels that

make up the scanned image. Monitors use red, green, and blue

phosphors to create the image you see on the screen.

SCSI (Ultra SCSI) Ultra SCSI (Fast-20) is one variation of the SCSI-3 standards now being

promoted by ANSI (American National Standards Institute). SCSI-3

refers to many variations including a parallel interface.

SHADOWS The dark areas of an image.

TIFF Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) files contain bit-mapped data. In

addition to being a widely supported format, TIFF is able to handle the

colour palette needed for professional-quality images and graphics.

WINDOWS

BMP (Windows only) The BMP graphic file format is for bit-mapped images.

BMP images are supported by the Paint accessory and can easily be

opened on most PCs running Windows.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

• Load film into the film holder.

• Scanner door opened during setup. Close

scanner door.

The computer will not start up

after connecting the scanner.

• Shut down the computer and all the devices in

your SCSI or IEEE 1394 chain, then check the

SCSI or IEEE 1394 cables and AC power cord.

DS_Multi PRO does not appear in

the Import drop down list.

• Make sure the plug-in module has been placed

in the correct folder. See page 26.

“Could not establish connection

with scanner.”

• Indicator lamp is off - Turn the DiMAGE Scan

Multi PRO on, then restart your system.

“Setting up now. Remove the film

holder.”

• Remove the film holder and click on [OK].

“Set film properly…”

Indicator lamp blinking rapidly

(8Hz).

“Set 35mm film holder properly.”•Set the correct film type.

“Set Universal film holder properly.”•Set the correct film type.

“Could not recognise the film type.”•Set the film type manually.

“Insufficient Memory”•Increase the memory requirements for the

host application.

• If you have scanned multiple images, close

and relaunch the host application.

“Setting up now. Remove the

film holder.” appears when the

film holder is not loaded.

• Contact a Minolta Service Facility to change

the fluorescent lamp.

SYMPTOM or MESSAGE SOLUTION

Indicator lamp lights red. • Remove the optics locking screw on the

bottom panel of the scanner.

• Insufficient amount of light.

Contact a Minolta service Facility.

Scanning takes an extremely

long time.

• When an image of more than about 950 MB is

scanned on Windows98 (SE) or Windows Me,

the scanning speed may become extremely

slow. To avoid this, reduce the image size to

about 950 MB or smaller by lowering the input

resolution or changing the cropping area.

• With Macintosh, the scanning speed may

become extremely slow when a large size

image is scanned using the Utility software. To

avoid this, use the Plug-in function.
