[. . . ] To get a scanned image with good results, VistaScan provides gamma adjustment capabilities so you can compensate for this variance in your scanner. Moving the slider on the scroll bar to the right increases the brightness of the mid-range gray tones. Moving it to the left decreases the brightness of the mid-range gray tones. Reset Button Click the Reset button to cancel the changes and return the value to the default setting. 29 Adjusting the Image Tones The Curve command is another way to make precise adjustments in the highlight, midtones, or shadow levels in your images. You change the values by altering the shape of the curve that represents the brightness values of pixels. Click Reset to cancel the changes and return the value to the default setting. Adjusting the Color Balance The Color Adjustment feature controls the hue and saturation of a particular color. When you click on the Color Balance tab from the Color Adjustment panel, a continuous color spectrum wheel appears. When you click in the wheel the image tones are shifted to the particular hue that is represented in that area. Click the Reset button to cancel the changes and return the value to default setting. Rotating/Inverting an Image You can rotate an image clockwise or counter clockwise, and you can flip images 180 degrees vertically or horizontally. 30 The following lists the possible rotate and flip selections: · · · · · · · · Flip/Rotate Horizontally ­ flips the image horizontally and rotates it 90 degrees counter clockwise. Inverts an image ­ changes all the dark tones in an image to light tones, and all of the light tones to dark tones. This option can NOT be reversed using the Edit menu Undo command. Clicking on the image that shows the desired orientation rotates or flips the image. Clicking the Reset button cancels the rotate or flip action and returns the image to the original orientation.

The UMAX Copy Utility window appears. 2. 3. Select your copy settings. Click the Copy button to make the copies, then click Exit when you are finished. UMAX Copy Utility Features Brightness: Lets you select the brightness levels to use when you print the copies of the scanned image. Original Image: Lets you specify the type of image to be copied ­ Color, Gray, or B/W. The Single Photo option automatically crops unnecessary white spaces around the image (no matter where the image is placed), reducing memory storage space and speeding up the scanning. Printout Quality: Choose Normal for draft quality, or choose Best for high quality images. · · · B/W images ­ Selecting Best or Normal produces the same output. Gray images ­ Selecting Best uses an enhanced filter to improve image quality but slows down the print speed. Color image ­ Selecting Normal uses an enhanced filter to improve color quality; selecting Best uses the MagicMatch function to produce the best image quality. Printer Setup ­ Opens the Printer Setup dialog box.
