1 Introduction
What is ScanWizard Pro TX?
ScanWizard Pro TX is an advanced scanner controller program that provides many
powerful, professional-level features for film and slide scanning.
One important feature of ScanWizard Pro TX is that it lets you work in the LCH
color space, which is based on the LCH (Lightness, Chroma, Hue) model of colors.
The LCH model is a more intuitive way of editing and working with colors because
it defines colors the way we understand them-- based on the properties of
brightness (how light or dark a color is), saturation (how rich or dull a color is),
and hue (“red” as opposed to “blue”).
Another important function of ScanWizard Pro TX is the batch scan feature, a
separate but integrated program that lets you create and manipulate specific
“Working Folders” or batches of jobs. With Batch Scanning, you can lay out your
jobs beforehand, make adjustments to each scan, then start the scan when you are
ready. The result? A tremendously improved workflow and savings in time, with the
additional advantage of being able to retrieve the various “Working Folders” or
batch jobs when required.
ScanWizard Pr o TX is also ColorSync™-savvy, allowing you to use standard ICC
color profiles for accurate color matching when outputting your images under the
Macintosh environment.
A Powerful New Software
With ScanWizard Pro TX, you can achieve
a new level of efficiency in scanning. The
many powerful tools of the program work
together to help you obtain the superior
color images you need, as well as provide
you with the flexibility to adjust or improve
the images as needed.
As you become increasingly familiar with
the program, you will also see how
ScanWizard can open up a whole new vista
for organizing your workflow and boosting
your scanning productivity in as many
ways as your creative imagination will
allow.

About this Manual
This manual provides basic information on the program and sketches out a variety
of scenarios that illustrate ScanWizard Pro TX’s versatility and how best to use the
program for specific scanning tasks on either Power Macintosh or PC platform.
The User Interface (UI) graphics shown in this manual are derived mostly from the
Macintosh version of ScanWizard Pro TX, and the UI for the Mac version is almost
identical to that of the PC version. Where the UI for both versions differ
significantly, these differences will be clearly emphasized. For a comprehensive
listing of individual features, please refer to the companion Reference Guide included
in your documentation package.

modes:
1) The
2) The
ScanScan
Scan (or scan-to-application) mode , where ScanWizard Pro TX is “ac-
ScanScan
quired” through an image-editing software program like Adobe Photoshop. The
output images are scanned and directly delivered (individually or in batches) to
the image-editing application for further processing.
BatchBatch
Batch (or scan-to-file) mode launches ScanWizard Pro TX as a stand-alone
BatchBatch
application from the desktop program icon (and/or from the Apple menu for
Mac / Windows Start menu for PC). The output images are scanned and saved to
files individually or in batches.

features
Color Matching
Color Matching is an important feature of ScanWizard Pro TX that ensures color
consistency — from the initial input phase when an image is captured by the
scanner, to the final output pr ocess when the image is output to your monitor or
printer. Color Matching allows you to gain the assurance that the colors captured
by the scanner are the same when they are displayed on your monitor and will be
reproduced as closely as possible when they are printed.
To use Color Matching:
For Macintosh users
Y ou will be prompted to select color matching settings immediately after you
launch ScanWizard Pro TX the first time.
See the
Appendix A
section of the manual for
more details.
Immediately updates the
Preview window image when
a new setting is selected.
This will reflect colors
consistent with the newly
selected profile.
This is dimmed when

3 Basic Scenarios
This section of the manual sets out a few scenarios on how to do some basic scans

procedures. Information on multiple scanning and on how to enhance or adjust
images, as well as more advanced scanning scenarios, are provided in Chapter 5 of
this manual.
Basic Scenarios:
• How to Scan a Color Positive Slide
• How to Scan a Color Negative
• How to Scan Color Negative Film from APS Cartridge
