ADJUSTING THE SETTINGS ON THE SCAN MANAGER 42
To adjust the color settings:
1. From the Channel drop-down menu, choose the individual color
(Red, Green, or Blue) that you want to adjust, or choose All to
adjust them together.
2. From the Edit Style drop-down menu, choose the type of color
editing that you want to use:
■Gamma—the response curve changes as you change the gamma
setting; you can also change the saturation and hue settings.
■Freest yle—you can drag sections of the response curve to create
interesting and unusual color effects. Put the pointer on the
curve and drag left, right, up or down. The image changes its
colors in response to the new curve. The x and y numbers at the
bottom of the response curve indicate the exact position of the
pointer on the curve.
3. Drag the Gamma, Saturation, and Color Hue sliders to the left to
decrease the settings or to the right to increase the settings.
You can also type a number directly into the setting boxes, or click
the up and down arrows next to the boxes.
4. Click Reset to return the settings to their original numbers.
The upper Reset button is for the gamma setting, the lower one is
for saturation and hue.
5. To save the settings of a response curve, click Save.
Saving is available for settings created with the Curve or Freestyle
editing option so you can load and reuse the exact settings on other
images. This is especially helpful for complex Freestyle response
curves.
A dialog box appears that lists the names of previously saved
settings. Type a name (at least 7 characters) for your new settings
and click OK.
6. To reuse a saved response curve setting click Load.
A dialog box lists the names of your previously saved settings. Select
the one you want and click OK.
