To adjust the resolution and sharpness:

1.To use one of the preset resolutions for typical scanned items, click one of the options in the list.

For example, to set the resolution for scanning a business card, select Business Card. That setting is preset to read small print on a typical business card.

2.To set the resolution manually, drag the Resolution slider to the left to decrease the resolution or to the right to increase it.

3.To adjust the sharpness, drag the Fidelity slider to the left to decrease the sharpness or to the right to increase the sharpness.

You can also type a number directly into the sharpness setting box, or click the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the setting.

4.To return the settings to their original amounts, click Reset.

The resolution and sharpen panel also includes an advanced setting for Moire patterns. Moire patterns are wavy, rippled lines that sometimes appear on the scanned images of photographs or illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations. To scan the image and limit or eliminate moire patterns, select the Reduce Moire option.

ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST

Sometimes an item is scanned with the brightness and contrast set to be too light or too dark. For example, a note written with a light pencil may need to be scanned darker to improve legibility.

The histogram shows the amount of the image (that is, the number of pixels) at different brightness levels. From left to right, the histogram indicates dark to light. To see this visually, drag the Brightness slider back and forth and watch how the distribution of pixels changes to indicate a darker or lighter image.
