Background Smoothing — use this option when you are scanning
documents or forms with a colored background. Background
Smoothing produces images with a uniform color. The benefit of using
this option is improved image quality and reduced file size.
• Background: select one of the following:
- None - no background smoothing will be done.
- Automatic - background smoothing is applied to the actual color.
- Change to White - identifies the background color and substitutes
that color with white.
• Apply to: select one of the following options:
- Predominant - smooths the predominant background color to
white.
- Neutral - smooths just the neutral color to white and two additional
background colors.
- All - smooths up to three background colors to white.
• Aggressiveness - select a value to increase or decrease the effect.
Image Edge Fill — fills the edges of a scanned image by covering the
area with the color selected in the Color drop-down list. Image Edge Fill
is performed after all other image processing options have been
applied.
Frame Mode — fills in an equal amount of the selected color from the
Image Edge Fill drop-down list on all sides of the image, or you can
select a value in the Top, Left, Right and/or Bottom area(s) from each
side of the scanned image to be filled.
When using this option, be careful not to enter a value too large as it
could fill in image data that you want to keep.
