There are three Scanning Workstations in the Grad Lab. Each Scanning station is connected to one of the three scanners located in the Lab. All three Scanning Workstations are setup to scan through VueScan and or Silver Fast. There should be a short cut to the VueScan and or Sivler Fast program located on the dock of each computer, however if for whatever reason it is not there, simply navigate into the applications folder and open the application from there. All of the Scanning Workstations are also color managed for print work (not video) and calibrated to work within the Lab's color management system. This means that these Workstations are suitable for soft proofing. For more information on how to soft proof your images in the Lab, see the Proofing Stations page.
If the glass on any of the scanners appears to be dirty, DO NOT attempt to clean it yourself. Ask one of the Grad Lab Techs for help.
