Introduction

The KODAK Professional RFS 3570 Film Scanner combines high resolution, high speed, and scanning of a variety of film formats from 35 mm to 70 mm (RFS “3570”), in one easy-to-operate desktop scanner.

Once you’ve scanned the image (color negative, color transparency, or black-and-white negative) you can view it as a color or monochrome image.

The Scanner works by flashing a filtered (red, green, blue) strobe through your image against a Charge Coupled Device (CCD). The Scanner provides 6 million pixels per scan — crisp images of 3072 pixels wide by 2048 pixels high.

Setting the Scanner SCSI Identification Number

Follow the steps below to set the SCSI identification (ID) number for the Scanner. You set the number by gently pushing buttons at the top and bottom of the SCSI ID switch on the back of the Scanner as described in this section.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Each SCSI device connected to the same computer must have a different SCSI ID number. Your Macintosh Computer is number 7, and your internal hard disk is probably 0. If your computer has a CD-ROM drive, be certain to avoid its number also; it may be number 3 if it is an internal drive supplied by Apple Computer, Inc. Therefore avoid numbers 0, 3, and 7 since the Scanner must have a unique SCSI ID.

1. If SCSI devices other than the Scanner are connected to your Macintosh Computer, determine their SCSI identification numbers so that you can select a different number for the Scanner. (If necessary, refer to the documentation for those devices to determine how to find their numbers.)

2. Double-check to make sure that the power to the Scanner is off (O). (The O end of the switch should be pressed in and the green light at the top left front corner of the Scanner should be off.)

3. Set the Scanner to an unused number from 1 to 6 by pressing the bottom button to go to a higher number or the top button to go to a lower number. Do not assign the number of any other attached SCSI device, and do not assign 0, 7, 8, or 9. If your computer has a CDROM drive, be certain to avoid its number also; it may be number 3 if it is an internal drive supplied by Apple Computer, Inc. Assign high ID numbers to devices used most frequently.

NOTE: Make sure the power to the Scanner is off if you change its ID number at a later time.

Installing the KODAK Driver for Adobe Photoshop Software (Macintosh)

Follow these steps to install the driver. This is a onetime operation that you must perform before you can obtain images from the Scanner.

1. Turn on your Macintosh computer; after a short wait, you will be in the Finder. (If your Macintosh computer has been configured to open applications other than the Finder, return to the Finder now.)

2. Install Adobe Photoshop (not provided by Kodak) if you have not already done so.

3. Make sure the gamma for your monitor is calibrated properly, per instructions in the Photoshop manual.

4. Locate the diskette entitled “KODAK Driver for ADOBE PHOTOSHOP Software for use with KODAK Professional RFS 3570 Film Scanner.”

5. If the diskette is not locked, lock it by sliding the tab on the back to reveal a small hole. This will prevent the contents of the disk from being changed inadvertently, and may aid in preventing the spread of computer viruses to this diskette.

6. Place the diskette into the internal drive of your Macintosh computer. If a window does not open for the diskette, double-click on the diskette icon to display the window.

7. Double-click on the R information on the Scanner; then choose Q

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

8. Complete part A of this step for supported Photoshop versions before version 2.5, and part B for versions 2.5 and later.

A. Drag the KODAK RFS 3570 and the RFS3570.BIN icons into the

folder on your hard disk that contains the Photoshop PS PREFS file. Wait while the files are copied; if you are asked if the new files should replace existing ones, respond affirmatively.

NOTE: If the PS PREFS file does not exist, you must run Photoshop (once) to create it. If you do not place the KODAK RFS 3570 and RFS3570.BIN icons into the same folder as PS PREFS, you will not be able to acquire images from the Scanner.

B. Follow directions in the Photoshop manual regarding placement

of plug-in modules. For example, with Photoshop 2.5 and 3.0, drag the KODAK RFS 3570 and RFS3570.BIN icons into the P

INS folder created when you installed this version of Photoshop (or

into another folder you have designated with P

REFERENCES to hold

plug-in modules). For Photoshop 2.5, be certain that the two files are not placed within another folder inside the P

LUG-INS folder.

Wait while the files are copied; if you are asked if the new files should replace existing ones, respond affirmatively.

9. Eject the diskette by dragging its icon to the TRASH icon.

10. Store the diskette. (Although copying the driver files is a onetime action, you may need to use the diskette again.)

The driver is now installed in your Macintosh computer and the Scanner is now ready for use as described in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5.

4. Slide the holder into the left or right opening of the 35 mm multiframe holder adapter.

NOTE: Since the slide holder is thicker than the film holder, you may need to use more force to move the slide holder from side to side than you will need for the film holder.

5. As you move the holder from side to side, you will feel it “drop” into place at each frame; this indicates that the holder is correctly positioned in the gate.

NOTE: If the holder slides freely without dropping into place, you have loaded the holder backwards or upside-down. Remove the holder, orient it in the proper direction, and reinsert it.

Displaying the KODAK Driver Window

Follow the steps in this section each time that you want to acquire data from the Scanner from within Adobe Photoshop.

1. With your computer, Scanner, and other SCSI devices (if present) turned off, turn on the Scanner by pressing the (I) end of the power switch on the back of the Scanner. The POWER indicator light, a small green light at the top front left corner of the Scanner, turns on.

You’ll hear the system perform a self-test by moving its internal mechanism. Then the Scanner is ready for use—no warm-up is required.

CAUTION: Always turn on the Scanner before you turn on your computer; it is important that you follow this procedure.

2. If other SCSI devices are present, turn them on. (SCSI devices can be turned on in any order.)

3. Turn on your Macintosh Computer.

4. Run Adobe Photoshop.

5. Choose KODAK RFS 3570 from the A Photoshop F

NOTE: If the Scanner choice does not appear on the submenu, follow the directions in “Installing the KODAK Driver for Adobe Photoshop Software” in Chapter 3 to ensure that the driver files are properly installed on you hard disk.

Producing Scanned Images

In this section, you will load your film or slides into the Scanner and then generate scans by making selections from the KODAK Driver window.

In the following steps you will make a series of adjustments and pre-scans while working in the KODAK Driver window. When you are satisfied with the adjustments you have made, you will click S curs — with the adjustments you have made applied to the resultant data — and the scan data appears in a Photoshop Window.

IMPORTANT: As you complete the steps below you may be prompted with instructions requiring that you the remove the film holder and so on to allow the Scanner to refocus. Two actions — changing the film size and/or changing the magnification — result in the need for the Scanner to recalibrate and focus. If you are in an environment where you rarely change these settings then you will only rarely need to allow the Scanner to recalibrate and focus; however, if you often change either or both of these settings then you will need to allow the Scanner to recalibrate and focus more frequently. In either environment, the Scanner software will prompt you — as described in more detail in the following steps — with the exact actions you must complete. Be sure to follow those steps carefully.

The illustrations below for a 6x7 image demonstrate the operation of this adjustment. (The film has been removed from the holder to emphasize the border in these illustrations.)

NOTES: If you change the magnification adjustment, the Scanner must refocus. As prompted by the message that occurs, remove a film holder if present and place the calibration mask into the Scanner as explained in an earlier step of this section. Follow additional prompts as they appear to: remove the calibration mask, replace the film holder (with your film in it), and wait for focusing to complete.

You determine the “optimal” setting for your images. To ensure that as many pixels of the imager as possible are used for you images, your image should fill the scanning area vertically. This will typically occur with the slider in the middle (nominal) range of the scanner either at, or within a few percentage points either way, of the center of the slider.

However you may wish to use other settings. To ensure that you obtain all of the image for one piece of film after another, you may wish to leave magnification at the negative end (underscanning) of the magnification slider. On the other hand if you always have “extra” space around the portion of the image you want to use, then you may wish to leave magnification at the positive end (overscanning) of the magnification slider.

The most recently used magnification setting for each film size is maintained from one work session to the next in the preferences file for the Scanner.

NOTE: You could focus the image without Step A below; however Step A is helpful when working with an image that contains one area that is sharper than the rest of the image.

A. Drag the pointer, pulling the selection rectangle around the

portion of the image that is the sharpest (in the best focus); the area should contain a significant amount of detail.

NOTES: The focusing algorithm operates on the area inside the selection rectangle, optimizing on your selection and focusing the rest of the image accordingly.

To change the size of an existing selected area, press and hold down the Command (Z) key. With the key down, when you move the crossbar cursor over the edge of the selection rectangle, the crossbar turns into arrows. Drag the mouse on any corner or side of the selection rectangle, changing the size of the selection rectangle. Then release the Command (Z) key and mouse button.

To move an existing selection rectangle, place the crossbar cursor inside the selection rectangle. Press and hold down the Command (Z) key; the crossbar becomes a hand. Drag the cursor, moving the selection rectangle to its new location. Then release the Command (Z) key and mouse button.
