Scanning Skills

Controlling The Data Size
When encountering problems scanning images with a large amount of data, try the following:

  1. Scan at a lower resolution.
  2. Set a smaller and  preciser scan area that trims dummy data.
  3. Scan according  to the capability of your output device.
  4. Use an application software to lower the resolution  or  gray levels of the scanned image before saving.
  5. Save the image with compression schemes. For example, TIFF file format contains compression schemes  effective in reducing the data size.

Using the "Preview" Function
The "Preview" function provides a panorama of the scanned image to help you to set the scan area. The analytical data extracted from preview data can be used for automatic exposure, typesetting,  scope and histogram analysis. Moreover, with the preview window, you can see the real-time effects caused by parameter changes.

Using the "Zoom" Function
You can get a close-up look at the scan area with the zoom function. You can acquire preciser image details  and scanning area  with  the "zoom" function.

Making Adjustments
You can adjust the scanning parameters  including resolution, scaling, brightness, contrast, color, tone map, mirror effect and inverse effect before scanning. You can also preview  instant effects  caused by parameter changes.
