G-6 Microtek ScanWizard 5
RGB
The color model in which every color is composed of a varying amount of the
three colors of red, green, and blue.
Saturation
The intensity of a color, or the amount of color in a specific hue. For instance,
the image of a bright red apple will appear to be "more red" if the colors are
saturated.
Scaling
The process of creating larger or smaller images in ScanWizard 5, so that the
images don't have to be resized later when they are delivered to the image-
editing program. Scaling has an inverse relation to resolution : The lower the
resolution, the larger the image can be scaled. At the highest resolution, images
can only be scaled smaller.
Scan material
The type of material for your image. Scan materials can be generally classified
into three types: reflectives, such as photographs or prints; positives, such as
slides; and negatives, like the negative film used in cameras.
Scanner
A device that captures an image for your computer and converts it to a digital
form that your computer can display, edit, store and output. A scanner can be
used for a wide variety of applications, such as incorporating artwork or photos
into documents, scanning printed text into your word processor to eliminate
retyping, scanning faxed documents into a database for storage, and adding
images to multimedia productions.
SCSI
Stands for Small Computer System Interface, a format for interfacing hardware
to the your computer.
SCSI chain
A chain that links SCSI devices on your system. A SCSI chain may include such
devices as a scanner, a CD-ROM drive, an external hard drive, and a tape drive.
Each SCSI device on the chain must have its own SCSI ID number, or conflict will
ensue.
Shadows
The darkest areas of an image.
