Ok, here is steps on how to use the Lomography 120 scanning mask,

as I found the whole internet has no clear instruction on how to use it on 135 scanner, here are my steps :

1. load the medium format film in the hold, follow Lomography site video
How the DigitaLIZA 120 Scanning Mask works - YouTube

make sure load it flat and properly holded.

2. for 4400F and other 135 scanner,
- take out protection sheet
- take out the 135 scan holder

3. put the lomography 120 scan mask on the glass, like in this video

Scanning with Digitaliza - YouTube

4. now it is the scan part, we will do the strip in 3 parts, Left, Center, Right. make sure the center cover lamp illumination and scan mask align with base glass, (it take time to get used to)

so we will get a full image after merge, see following post for details

scan each part,

- for Left, just scan the very left of the frame strip like your 135 format strip into frames, (use scan preview to check)

- shift the mask gently to the left,
just make sure the center align in the center, scan the center of strip into frames

- shift the mask gently to the left again,
for the right part, just scan the very right of the frame strip

here is the photo demo,

for 645 format, 4 photo in a strip,
in step A, 4 left part photo done,
in step B, 4 middle part photo done,
in step C, 4 right part photo done.

make sure naming it while scanning it, easy to recognize which part is which part,

I name it as,
F001.01 for left of Frame 1
F001.02 for middle of Frame 1
F001.03 for right of Frame 1

now, open photoshop or any image app with stitching function,

stitch

and you will get a image auto stitch like this

if you want to merge all the layers, press Ctrl+Shift+E.

then use Image > Adjustment>Auto Level or Auto Color to tune the image,


Tips on how to do it right and quick,

* lock scanner setting for the whole scan process , and lock film base color after you set for first frame.
* if you align properly, that is roughly 30% overlap, photoshop will easily detect and merge perfectly for you.

Photoshop's auto merge is very accurate for all my shots. and it will auto match color of each frame, so that is how I did.

another tip,

after you align the mask to the glass,

as the lamp is on the cover, so you need to make the cover align,

so three things align will give you perfect straight frame parts.

another tip:

preview scan at 300 dpi will make it fast for alignment,

scan at 4800dpi for more details, and down scaled it 50% for improved, sharpness

so M645 scan at 4800dpi will give 10,000 pixel by 8,000 pixel, that is 80MP resolution in 16bits, take 1 GB disk space, you will cry out all the disk space,

down resolution to 50% horizontal and 50% vertical, will give a good 20MP resolution in 200MB, then convert 16 bit image after tune into 8bit JPG, 6 MP.

if you dont want to fancy raw process, then just scan your image in 8 bit, 24 bit RGB so called instead 48 bit RGB.
