Scanning Your Film You can scan your film in either Home Mode or Professional Mode. For greater control over your scanned images, choose Professional Mode. Note: Be sure to select the correct Document Type (in Home Mode) or Film Type (in Professional Mode): Positive Film, Color Negative Film, or B&W Negative Film. Also, be sure to adjust the focus if you're placing your film directly on the glass (instead of in a holder) or are using film holders other than those that came with the scanner. See page 52.
