Pictures

The Pictures Options determine how the images will be presented in the output documents, e.g. in black-

and-white or in color. They also define their resolution.

Note: when you select an output format or application that does not support images, then the

Pictures options will be unavailable in Readiris.

Below you find a description of what each option does.

 Black-and-white images

Readiris by default saves images in color. Select this option to generate black-and-white

images. The colors of the text inside your documents can still be maintained.

 Maintain scan resolution

This option is activated by default. Readiris generates the output documents in the same

resolution as your scanned documents. To verify in which resolution your documents have been

scanned, check the Scanner Settings. Or point to a page thumbnail to view its properties.

 Reduce resolution to:

If you don't want to maintain the original scan resolution, then select the option Reduce

resolution to, and indicate to which resolution you want to reduce the images.

Note: it is recommended to use a resolution of at least 72dpi.

 JPEG quality

Images stored inside PDF, XPS, Word and RTF documents are saved in the JPEG format.

Use the slider to adjust the JPEG quality.

 JPEG 2000 compression

When saving files in the PDF or XPS format, Readiris can apply JPEG 2000 compression to the

color-grayscale images stored inside those files.
