Inverse

This command reverses an image’s display. Black pixels will be white, and white pixels will become black. The resulting image is like a photo negativeoftheoriginal.

Brightness and Contrast

These controls adjust the brightness and contrast of the image you are about to scan. Increasing the contrast will sharpen the image by excagerating the images colors or tones. Increase the brightness to lighten the image and compensate for the contrast selection.
