No need to feel embarrassed, Frank -- it took me quite a while too.
Immediately to the left of the preview screen, there's a vertical row of
about a dozen icons.
If you look closely at the third one from the bottom, you'll see it
*slightly* resembles three rows of negatives.
Click on this, and in the screen that opens you can make thumbnails of all
negs/slides you have loaded.
Double-click on any one to select it and produce a prescan.
(I'm assuming here that you have version 5x -- I've no experience with
earlier versions.)
Since Silverfast can scan straight into PS in its native format without
passing through a .TIF first, I've found it well worth persevering with,
despite the non-intuitive learning curve (I also have Vuescan and Polacolor
Insight v4.5.1, BTW, and I'm still learning with all of them -- so far
Silverfast gives me the best images from the SS4000, whilst Vuescan seems
to shine on the Epson flatbed.)
