Finally you can calculate scanning resolution easily and quickly right on your Mac! MasterScan is easy to use:
• Enter your input size ( inches, mm, cm, picas, points, or PS points )
• Enter your output size ( same )
-- OR --
• Enter the percent enlargement
For film recorders:
• Choose the output resolution
-- OR --
For halftones:
• Choose the line screen
• Choose the quality factor ( normally 2.0 )
• Watch the resolution appear.
• You may choose to see the resolution in DPI, DPC, or RES (l/mm).
There is on-line help available which further describes the function of the program.
You may copy the scanning resolution to the clipboard by clicking “Copy.” The program defaults to a warning message telling you that the contents of the clipboard will be erased (and displaying the size of the clipboard ). You may suppress this warning by unchecking “Clipboard Warning” under the Special menu.
MasterScan will display the size of a file to be scanned by clicking and holding the “Size” button or by holding down the Return or Enter key. It will also show the exact (unrounded) scanning resolution.
MasterScan saves the window position and all the settings!
The program normally runs with a 300k partition, but in order to obtain the most amount of free RAM you may set the size as low as 160k. The logo may switch to black and white at this setting.
Support has been added for older Macs with 9 inch screens; choose “9 inch Screen” under the Special menu and the window is positioned perfectly for use on a nine inch screen. ( The “Please support ShareWare” area of the window can be used for dragging in this mode. )
MasterScan is System 7 compatible and 32-bit clean.
