Changing the tone (brightness and contrast)

You can improve the appearance of a scanned image by adjusting the tone before you scan the image. Tone is a measure of brightness and contrast—the intensity of blacks and whites, or colors, in a scanned image.

The way your monitor is set up affects the way an image appears on the screen. For information, see your monitor manual.
