VRS Getting Started Guide

Using the Noise Tab

The Noise tab gives you a set of filters that enhance image quality and remove excessive speckling. As you adjust the Noise settings, the effects are applied to the image in the VRS Viewer window. You can fine-tune the settings until the image appearance meets your quality standards.

Note: The Noise tab settings are intended for black and white scanning; they have no effect on grayscale scanning.
