I'm stuck! (SF AI Studio 8 & PT OpticFilm 120)
PostPosted: Wed Nov 26, 2014 2:38 am
Can someone please help me get started ?
The most basic interface function between the SF and OpticFilm 120 isn't covered in any of the documentation of either product. I'm spinning my wheels, and on a support call with PlusTek USA the two techs there couldn't figure out how to do the following either.
I am trying to scan 6-frame B&W negatives (35mm).
1. The techs pointed out that counter-intuitively I need to use 6x12 instead of 35mm setting. (OK, so be it, but that should be documented somewhere.)
2. The problem is that although I can see the full side-by-side width of the two film strips, I can see only see 3 and 1/5th frames of each on the screen (regardless of whether they are vertical or rotated horizontal); see below.
3. There is no slider to move the the strips to see other frames, and the zoom controls (Ctrl minus or plus; or Alt minus of plus) don't do anything. (My operating system is Win7.) Ctrl-F, to show "all frames" doesn't change anything either.
I have been through all the documentation and SF videos, but am dead in the water until I can get past this most basic thing. Any help will be much appreciated.
