The Shadow bar defines the darkest tones in the scanned image. Moving the slider on the scroll bar to the left increases the brightness in shadowed areas. Moving it to the right decreases the brightness in shadowed areas. The default setting is 0. The maximum shadow setting is 254 (which is black), the minimum setting is 0.

Gamma Bar

The Gamma bar alters the mid-range gray tones in the scanned image. All optical devices, such as monitors and scanners, have some variance in their light sensitivity characteristics. To get a scanned image with good results, VistaScan provides gamma adjustment capabilities so you can compensate for this variance in your scanner.

Moving the slider on the scroll bar to the right increases the brightness of the mid-range gray tones. Moving it to the left decreases the brightness of the mid-range gray tones.
