Output Resolution tool

The Output Resolution tool lets you determine the amount of data for the final scan of an image of a picture. See Set output resolution on page 83 for more about when to use the Output Resolution tool.

After you have drawn a selection area, use this tool to:

change the resolution setting, if necessary

AutoResolution

When you choose an Output Type, the scanning software automatically applies the optimal output resolution to the selection area. For example, output resolution is automatically set to 150 when the True Color output type is selected, and set to 300 for the Black & White Bitmap (raster) output type.

To re-applyAutoResolution, click in the Output Resolution tool.
