Finishing using ScanBackground

---

Check the background

1. Check the finished image by clicking on the Spliced check box in the Display Mode group box.

2. Use the Zoom tools to zoom in to - and out of - any regions you think need closer inspection.

3. Make any final adjustments that are necessary. In particular, if an overlap appears poor, try using the Ordering arrow buttons in the Image Control Panel to change which image section is on top.

Save the background

When you're happy with your results, you can save the background in the following formats:

• a tiled file (for use by Animo 2.0)

• a tiled TIFF file (for use by third-party applications)

• a TIFF file (for use by third-party applications).

Normally, you should save all backgrounds in .tiled format, as this preserves the registration information. However, if you wish to export the scanned image to a third-party application for further processing, you need to save the file in one of the TIFF formats.

To save the background:

1. Choose:

• File > Save Tiled to save the files as a .tiled file

• File > Save Ttif (tiled) to save the file as a tiled TIFF file

• File > Save TIFF to save the file as a TIFF file.

2. Choose the location for the file.

3. Click on OK, or press Return to save the file.
