ADJUSTING THE IMAGE WITH THE SCAN MANAGER 23

BRIGHTNESS AND CONTRAST

Sometimes an item is scanned with the brightness and contrast set to be too light or too dark. For example, a note written with a light pencil may need to be scanned darker to improve legibility.

Brightness refers to the lightness or darkness of the image. Contrast is the range between the darkest and lightest portions of the image. The greater the contrast, the more the difference between the lighter and darker shades in the image.

Dark/Light slider—adjusts the brightness of the scan. Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the brightness.

Low/High slider—adjusts the contrast. Drag the slider to the right or left to increase or decrease the contrast.

ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT SIZE

The output size is the width and height of the image after it is scanned. For example, if you plan to print the image on a piece of paper you can select the output size to be 8.5 by 11.0 inches.
