Filter Editor
You will get to the filter editor by clicking the buttons N
EW or CHANGE inside the tab GENERAL of the main
window. After having started the filter editor, the name of the loaded filter or “N
EW” is displayed on the upper
boundary of the window. You will start with the simple version of the filter editor. To open the expert level, just press
the button EXPERT at the bottom part of the filter editor window. If you want to activate the expert mode as your
default filter editor, erase the checkmark at S
IMPLE FILTER EDITOR to be found at PREFERENCES (menu bar)
T
AB GENERAL.
The FILTER EDITOR is an indispensable tool which will help you achieve optimal results even with difficult
originals. The filter editor will give you a preview of the copy on the screen. Each altered setting -e.g. black and
white point correction- is immediately displayed on the screen. That way unnecessary test prints are avoided, since
the optimal parameters can be determined before the output is done.
We recommend you to save the settings made for difficult originals as filters for similar documents.
Functions and Structure of the Filter Editor
Depending on the selected color mode and on the color management you will be able to use different editors:
Filter editor in Color Mode without color management

You have got always or most of the time these following main button commands below the tab-area:
