Brightness and Contrast--Drag the sliders to the right or left to adjust the brightness and contrast of the scanned image. Click the Page Settings tab to select the scan page settings. Page Size--Choose a page size from the drop-down list. Clicking one of those outlines also selects it as the page size for the scan. If you select the Custom option from the drop-down list, boxes appear in place of the picture. AutoCrop--This option lets the scanner automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. For example, if you scan an unusual page size, the scanner will automatically determine the size of the page. This option overrides the Page Size menu selection. 22 VISIONEER STROBE XP 100 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE DeScreen--Select this option when scanning a picture from a newspaper or magazine article, or other items that contains images with patterns or dots. Scans of patterns or dots sometimes have a distorted or wavy appearance. The scanner scans the item to compensate for the patterns and dots, and produces a clearer image. The following example shows the effect of descreening a scanned image from a magazine article. Original Image Descreened Image The scanning may slow down a bit when descreen is selected. Gamma--The gamma setting adjusts the range of midtone colors on an image. By changing the gamma you can adjust midtone levels without losing details from the lightest or darkest areas. You use the gamma correction to achieve precise color matching of the original image and how it looks on your computer monitor. Because the computer cannot always transmit the exact color information to the hardware, you may have to make some color adjustments using the gamma feature. In most cases, however, the default gamma setting works fine and normally does not need to be adjusted. The new configuration and its settings now apply to the button.
