Controls tab

The Controls tab of the HP PrecisionScan Pro Preferences dialog box has option buttons for selecting which control range readout to use for scanning.

➊8-bit readout (0-255)— sets the scanner to use 8 bits of tonal resolution per color

➋10-bit readout (0-1023) — sets the scanner to use 10 bits of tonal resolution per color

➌12-bit readout (0-4095) — sets the scanner to use 12 bits of tonal resolution per color

To change settings:

1Click the option button to select it.

2Click Apply.

3Click another tab, or click OK to close the

HP PrecisionScan Pro Preferences dialog box.

The control range sets the amount of tonal resolution per color available for correction in the Exposure Adjustment and Black & White Threshold tools. Using a larger number of bits for the control range results in greater control of compensation for exposure or threshold correction.
