Touching Up Images
When you display an image item in the Page View window, PaperPort provides
several tools you can use to adjust or improve your image.
For example, you can straighten a scanned page, lighten an underexposed
photograph that is too dark, adjust the color in a color picture, remove “dirt spots”
from a page, or sharpen fuzzy pictures. In addition, you can rotate an item, remove
stray dots, enhance lines, remove red eye, and crop part of an image.
