Changing the output type

1Create a selection area (page 51).

2From the Output Type menu, choose an output type for the image of the picture you scanned.

Make your output type choice based on:

•whether the image will be displayed on a monitor or printed in hardcopy

•how many colors you want in the final scan

•file size

After you select an output type from the Output Type menu:

•you will see the image change in the preview area

•the new output type displays in the info bar

•the new image size displays in the status bar

•a new sharpening level may appear in the

Sharpen Level tool

•a new value may appear in the Output Resolution tool

T I P

For best results with images that will be used on 256-color display monitors, do not use the 256 Color Optimized Palette output type.

When an optimized palette is used in an image:

■that palette is unique to that image and the unique palette colors are applied to the window that is displaying the image

■colors in other windows that are displayed at the same time will be corrupted, because those other windows use a standard, system palette

■the window displaying the image with the optimized palette will be temporarily rendered with fewer colors when focus changes to a different window
