Line Art
Line Art images are made up of one bit of color
(black or white) per pixel. Few editing options
are available in this mode, but this mode is
useful for images consisting purely of black and
white or even single colors, such as mechanical
drawings, blueprints, or fine-line illustrations.
Web / Internet Colors
This mode is useful for
displaying images on the
Web or Internet. Output for
the Web / Internet color
mode in ScanWizard 5 is 8-
bit, 256 indexed color
images.
Indexed color: 208K
Grayscale
Grayscale images use
shades of gray to simulate
gradations of color or tonal
values, and contain 8 bits
per pixel. The Grayscale 16-
bit option is provided in
ScanWizard 5 for profes-
sional pre-press scanners.
Grayscale: 208K
Black-and-White Diffusion
This is a single-bit black-and-white image
dithered with error diffusion. The black and
white pixels are arranged in a way as to “fool”
the eye into seeing gray.
RGB Color
RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) images use three
colors to reproduce up to 68.7 billion colors.
Because scanners and monitors are RGB
devices, the RGB color space is the most
commonly used space for capturing and
displaying images. ScanWizard 5 offers stan-
dard RGB and 48-bit RGB color selection, with
the 48-bit option available for the ScanMaker 5,
ScanMaker 2000, and other Microtek profes-
sional pre-press scanners.
