shows and lets you

select magnification

levels.

position of the mouse

cursor on the x/y axis of

The Scan Job Window

(Advanced Control Panel only)

1. Check mark indicates the

job will be scanned

when you click the Scan

(or Scan to, Copy,

E-mail, OCR, or To Web)

button.

"P" indicates job

has been prescaned.

2. The highlighted scan job

is the Current scan job.

3. Function buttons

(Duplicate, New, Delete,

Check, Load/Save).

1. The White/Black Point tool lets you

change the shadow and highlight points

of an image. By using this tool, you can

manipulate shades so that the Shadow

point becomes the new darkest values

and the Highlight point becomes the new

lightest value.

2. The Tone Curve tool lets you control the

gamma, which measures the intensity

affecting the mid-level grays (midtones)

of an image. Adjusting the gamma lets

you change the values of the middle

range of gray tones without dramatically

altering the shadows and highlights.

3. The Brightness/Contrast tool changes

the brightness and contrast of the entire

image. Brightness is the balance of the

light and dark shades in the image, while

contrast is the range between the

darkest and lightest shades in the image.

4. The Color Correction tool adjusts the hue or

saturation of colors. This tool applies only to color

images and is not available for use with grayscale

or black-and-white images.
Saturation refers to the intensity of a color.
Hue is the aspect of color that distinguishes one

color from another (whether it is red, green, or

blue).

5. The Filter tool lets you apply or create special

effects to your image. This tool is disabled when

your image type is set to billions of colors, 1,000

shades of gray, line art and halftone.

6. The Descreen tool lets you remove moiré patterns

in images. A moiré is an undesirable pattern in

printing that results from incorrect screen angles

of overprinting halftones. Moirés usually result

when you scan images taken directly from a

magazine (instead of scanning a photographic

original or transparency).

4. [Windows only] One-pass

Scan for Multiple Jobs

enables the scanner to

perform scanning in a

single pass for all the

selected scan jobs.

5. [Windows only] Multiple

Auto-crop for EZ-Lock

Film Holder enables the

scanner to auto-crop

films loaded in the EZ-

Lock Film Holder.
