The resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpl), which is used to represent the image detail in a given
area, The available resolution ranges from 50 to 9600 dpi. Generally, the higher the resolution, the sharper
and higher the quality of the scanned image, However, in some cases, high resolution is not necessary
because resolution is determined or limited by many factors image type, the original image resolution, the
output device resolution, the available storage space on your hard disks, etc.

Normally you should choose a resolution that matches the resolution of the output device The following list
is our suggestion:

You can adjust the resolution by using the scroll bar (moving the box, clicking the arrow icons or clicking on
the space between the box and the icon). directly keying in the value into the number box, or selecting a
value in its drop—down combo box to the desired resolution.
IBrightness
Brightness refers to the intensity of light reflected from or transmitted through an image. The larger the
brightness value, the brighter the image appears. Brightness is indicated by a percentage ranging from ,
100 to +100, and is set to "0" as the default. You can either use the scroll bar (moving the box, clicking the
arrow icons or clicking on the space between the box and the icon), key in the value into the number box or
select a value in its drop-down combo box to change the value.

Click E , the Hue & Saturation dialog box will display and allow you to adjusl the hue and saturalion of
the image while keeping the brightness level unchanged.
Hue is the wavelength of light reflected directly from an image and it is represented by the name of colors.
Adjusting the hue changes the whole color appearance or the image Saturation is the strength of the color,
referring to how far away the color is from a gray tone of equal intensity Adjusting the saturation changes
the degree of color purity in proportion to the hue.
To adjust Hue and Saturation:
ulHue adjustment
In the “Hue” box. specify an angle value (you can either directly enter the desired value in the number
box or use the scroll bar to select your deswed value) The specified angle value represents a move
around the color wheel. (Remember that hues are specified as angles on the color wheel. If you are not
familiar With the color wheel notation. please refer to any relevant book about color.)
ISaturation adjustment
In the “Saturation" box, specify a desired percentage value of the saturation. A value of 400 converts
the image completely to a grayscale image and a value of +100 shows the image with fully saturated
hues.
A © Will be marked on the lower right corner of the icon as a reminder if you change the default
setting.
Tone
For correcting image distortions that take plaoe during scanning, use the Tone adjustment on scanned
images. Tone adjustment allows you to control the shadows, midtones, and highlights of your image Use it
to restore detail that is lost in shadows or highlights, to correct overexposure or underexposure, and to
improve the tonal quality of your image,
