What it Does / Usage
Adjustments
B&W Threshold
This mode uses thresholds to determine whether a pixel is
black or white. Use this mode for drawings and line art. You
can set the threshold value (Level). Default value is 151.
Level
B&W Adaptive
Adaptive enhancement for line images. Suitable for scanning
all kinds of drawings including difficult blueprints, brown
transparencies (sepias), etc. You set Adaptive level. Provides
minimum file sizes and is thereby, well suited for digitizing.
Level
B&W Copy Adaptive
Adaptive enhancement on foreground and background. This
mode is suitable for copying (scan and print) of Sepia,
Blueprint and other originals with heavily distorted foregrounds
and backgrounds where the shades that create unwanted
"noise" are close to the shades that make up the image's data
and the two are hard to differentiate.
Level
soften/sharpen
Graytone
In this mode 256 gray levels are recognized for each pixel.
Graytone mode creates good reproductions of complicated
B/W images like B/W photos.
Gamma
Sharpen
24-bit Color
This is the 24 bit true color mode for capturing all of the
image's colors with the closest reproduction. This mode
produces large files since all colors, even shades with only
slight differences, are captured and produced. You use this
mode when you want accurate reproduction of complicated
color images like color photos and posters. You can make
tonal adjustments through a Gamma value.
