Brightness Settings for Black & White Images (Threshold Value)
When the scan mode is set to Black & White (Line), the image brightness can be adjusted. The threshold value setting determines whether a half tone will be expressed as a black or a white data point. The possible threshold values range between 1 and 255. Below a given threshold value, all data is converted to black. Likewise, all data with a value above the threshold is converted to white. Accordingly, higher threshold values produce darker images while lower threshold values result in brighter images.
Threshold Value = 128 (Standard) | Threshold Value = 180 | Threshold Value = 70 |
To Set the Threshold Value
Set the threshold value in the Control Panel.
The threshold value adjustment categories will only appear when the scan mode is set to Black & White (Line), the image brightness can be adjusted.
Drag the slider left or right or click on the left or right direction arrows to change the threshold value to the desired setting.
Click the arrow to restore the default values. (128)
The value in the box will change as the slider or direction arrows are moved. A value may also be input directly into the box without moving the slider.
Hint
The changes will be reflected in the preview image.
