Adaptive Thresholding (ATP): separates the foreground information in an image (i.e., text, graphics, lines, etc.) from the background information (i.e., white or non-white paper background). When using Adaptive Thresholding, Brightness and Contrast can be adjusted.

Brightness — changes the amount of white in the color and grayscale image. Use the slider to select a value from 0 to 255. The default is 90.

Brightness: 50

Brightness: 127

Contrast  adjusts the difference between black and white, thereby making an image sharper or softer.

The difference between black and white is small with a low contrast setting, so the image is softer. With a high contrast setting, the difference between black and white is large, so the image is clearer. Select a contrast value from 1 to 100. The default is 50.
