Advanced Scanning

other subjects in the photo look fine (they are in the midtone ranges), you can adjust the washed-out area (the highlight range) by decreasing the highlight value of the image.

As another example, suppose you have a photo where some objects are too dark and others are too light (which can happen easily when shooting outside on a bright, sunny day). Darkening the highlights and lightening the shadows helps to balance the curve.

When you develop a group of settings that are especially useful for a specific type of scan, you have the option of saving them so you can apply them later to other images.

To save a setting:

1.Click the Gradation Curves drop-down list.
