What is ScanWizard Pro?
ScanWizard Pro (version 6.0 or later) is an advanced scanner controller program that
is designed and engineered to provides many powerful, professional-level features
for scanning with Microtek ScanMaker and Artix scanners.
One important feature of ScanWizard Pro is that it lets you work in the LCH color
space, which is based on the LCH (Luminance, Chroma, Hue) model of colors. The
LCH model is a more intuitive way of editing and working with colors because it
defines colors the way we understand them -- based on the properties of brightness
(how light or dark a color is), saturation (how rich or dull a color is), and hue (“red” as
opposed to “blue”).
Another important function of ScanWizard Pro is the batch scan feature, a separate
but integrated program that lets you create and manipulate specific “contexts” or
batches of jobs. With Batch Scanning, you can lay out your jobs beforehand, make
adjustments to each scan, then start the scan when you are ready. The result? A
tremendously improved workflow and savings in time, with the additional advantage
of being able to call up the various “contexts” or batch jobs when required.
A Powerful New Software
With ScanWizard Pro, you can achieve a new level of efficiency in scanning. The
many powerful tools of the program work together to help you obtain the superior
color images you need, as well as provide you with the flexibility to adjust or improve
the images as needed.
And as you become increasingly familiar with the program, you will see how
ScanWizard can open up a whole new vista for organizing your workflow and
boosting your scanning productivity in as many ways as your creative imagination
will allow.
