Film strip offset control

[Lythophaga]

A quick question regarding the film strip offset control on SilverFast Ai Studio. Is there a way to manually adjust this setting? Try as I might I am finding it almost impossible to get the frames to centre - if the cut off appears on the left then using the offset control merely switches to cutting off the right side and vice versa. I am using a Nikon 5000 film scanner and SilverFast version 6.6.1r6 on Mac Leopard 10.5.8. Thanks for your help.

Dear Lythophaga,

Is there a way to manually adjust this setting?

I do not quite get your question. I believe the strip offset control is a manual adjustmet.

Further manual adjustments for this tool are not possible

if the cut off appears on the left then using the offset control merely switches to cutting off the right side and vice versa.

Well, you might not want to mark exactly the border of the image but a little bit less so the film stripe is not chopping the other end of the picture.

Thanks for the prompt reply - a ghost in the machine I think; I reset the Preference Files and everything is now working as it should.
