Chapter V. The Scanner Software
Basic Image Adjustments
The most common adjustments made to your
scanned images before editing them are the contrast
and brightness settings. These are adjusted differently
then from those found within the TWAIN dialog box.
To make adjustments after scanning, click on the
MAP menu item and select ADJUST
CONTRAST/BRIGHTNESS. The contrast/brightness
screen will open, allowing you to make any necessary
adjustments. Click OK when done.
Using Editing Tools
The tool icons offer numerous ways to alter your
scanned images. These icons are located to the left of
the scanned image. Please read the descriptions of
these tools under the HELP menu carefully to learn
how to properly use your image-editing tools.
Saving Images
To save an image in a format dependent upon
your needs, please perform the following steps:
1. Click SAVE AS from the file menu.
2. Select the file type (e.g., tif, eps) and location.
3. Name your file. Note: Make sure the file type
extension is attached to your file name (i.e.,
Picture.tif).
4. Click SAVE at the bottom of the screen.
Choosing File Type Extensions
Your image-editing software allows you to
save images in various formats to allow greater
flexibility and use of your images. The following
section discusses some of the most common file
formats. The file format you choose will depend on the
other programs in which you wish to use the image
and whether you wish to compress your image on disk.
• BMP: Bitmap is the standard Windows image
format. Icons are typically bitmap images.
• JPEG: The Joint Photographic Experts Group
format is commonly used for color images
