Colortrac 24120 Product Sales Guide 14
7.2 Firmware changes
Additions to the firmware now control how the scanner manages the deflections in the glass
caused by the weight of heavy scan objects. All compensation is fully automatic.
7.3 Image editing
New features available for the 24120 permitting the user to extend the variety of objects that can
be scanned, for example oversize objects and 3D objects. These are semi-automatic interactive
processes initiated by the scanner operator and then processed by the computer software.
7.3.1 Join Images (for ‘flat on the glass’ scans )
Brand new merge-editing functions designed to allow parts of a much larger original (from
separate scanning operations) to be pulled back together. This feature offers two different
methods to complete this task - overlay and 4 point.
7.3.1.1 Overlay joining
Two or more images are placed on a virtual canvas and positioned using the computer mouse.
The transparency of the image on top at the point of overlap can be controlled so that identical
detail on the image underneath can be seen through the semi-transparent image (above)
allowing the two to be precisely aligned. Movement can be controlled down to a single pixel
using the nudge keys. When satisfactory alignment is reached the images can be joined to
create the full image. This option allows the joining of multiple images in pairs. The overlay
option also incorporates a deskew tool which permits one image to be used as the datum to
which all other images will be adjusted. This is essential because it can be difficult to ensure
always that the files making up the original image are all perfectly square.
