Removing a Color from the Scanned Image [Dropout color]

With "Dropout color", you can select either green, red, or blue (primary colors) to remove the details of the selected color from a scanned image.

For example, if a document with black characters and a green background is scanned, only the black characters will appear on the scanned image if [Green] is selected.

Dropout works the best with light (low density) colors, and dark colors may not drop out.

Dropout color is only available in black & white or grayscale mode.
