Color Balance and Levels & Curves Tab

Page 73 and 75 of the original User's Manual state that the Before and After images on
the Color Balance and Levels & Curves tabs will be identical when you enter the
respective tab. This is only true if you have made no adjustments to the image with the
black/gray/white balance eyedroppers, the color tools, or the tone curve tools. If you make
image adjustments, the After image will show the cumulative effect of the adjustments,
while the Before image will maintain the look of your original scan.
Frame Number
As seen in Figure 9 below, the thumbnail number of the frame which is currently being
displayed in the Before and After Image windows is shown between those two images.
See Frame Numbering to learn how to match your thumbnails’ numbers with the filmstrip’s
frame numbers.
Figure 9, Color Balance, Levels & Curves
Custom Settings
Also seen in Figure 9 are asterisks to the left and right of the tab titles. These asterisks
appear on the top of the tab if you have made changes to tab’s image using the tools on
the Color Balance or the Levels & Curves tab. On the Color Balance tab, this would be
adjustments to any of the 6 sliders. On the Levels & Curves tab, any modification to the
Channels Curve or to the Histogram Sliders will cause the asterisks to appear. These
asterisks serve as a visual reminder because any adjustments made on these two tabs
are saved from scan session to scan session. After starting a new scan session, you may
delete these saved adjustments by navigating to the affected tab and clicking on the tab’s
Reset Button.
Color Tools
The color tools on the Color Balance and on the Levels & Curves tabs have been modified
so their effects on the Preview Image are not so aggressive. If you use Version 1.00 Scan
Profiles which include adjustments using these color tools, you will need to update these
Scan Profiles.
