These controls allow you to adjust the various factors that affect the image, including the
width and height of your image when it is first scanned (input), the scaling factor, and
the dimensions of the image when it is finally output.

To use the Image Dimension Controls:

     Select the unit of measurement.

     Enter a value in the applicable edit boxes (width input, height  input, scaling, width

output, height output

.

1      This is a mathematical formula expressing the relation of the input dimensions to scaling and how

they affect image dimensions when the image is scanned.

•       

Input width

 and 

input height

 refer to the dimensions of the scan frame that you draw. For

example, if the image on your scanner is 5" x 7" and you draw a scan frame that is 3" x 4",
then your input width will show 3.000 and your input height will show 4.000.

•       

Output width

 and 

output height

 refer to the dimensions of the image when output to an

output device (such as a monitor or printer).

The input width, input height, output width, and output height are affected by your scaling and
whether or not the Aspect Lock is on. For more details, see the sections 

How to use Input-Output

dimensions and How to use the Aspect Lock.

5      The

3      

 lets you create large or small images so that the images don't have to be resized

subsequently, which is usually done in your image-editing software.

2      The 

 allows you to keep the ratio of the image width and height constant. (For more

details, see the section
