Canon FS 3.6 manual

Manual background

Click the white pointer tool or black pointer tool button to change the mouse pointer to an eyedropper. Position that eyedropper over an area of the preview image and click to set either the highlights or shadows, respectively, equal to the level of that area.

• To improve the reproduction of dark areas, change the value of the shadows in the histogram tab from [1] to [0], then scan. Be aware, however, that the 'noise' of the scanned image may increase. For your reference, the default setting for shadows is [1].
