PaperPort Getting Started Guide 26
Touching Up Images
When you display an image item in the Image View
window, PaperPort provides several tools you can use
to adjust or improve your image.
For example, you can straighten a scanned page,
lighten an underexposed photograph that is too dark,
adjust the color in a color picture, remove “dirt spots”
from a document page, clear shadows and spots from
page edges, or sharpen fuzzy pictures. In addition, you
can rotate an item, remove stray dots, enhance lines, remove red eye, and crop
part of an image.
Some SET Tools are primarily designed for photo, or image enhancement,
while others (shaded) help you prepare items containing text for Optical
Character Recognition (OCR).
Scanner Enhancement Technology tools
Select Area Use the Select Area tool to select part of an image
you want to cut, copy, or delete using the
commands on the Page ribbon or in the shortcut
menu. Use it also to select part of an image before
cropping or using the Remove Red Eye tool.
Rotate an
image
Click the Rotate Right tool to rotate the selected
item 90 degrees to the right.
Straighten
an image
Sometimes a document is crooked when scanned.
When this occurs, you can use the Straighten and
Auto-Straighten tools to adjust it. Straightening
lines of text in an image file will yield better OCR
results.
Auto-
enhance
an image
The Auto-Enhance feature adjusts the brightness
and contrast, color, and tint of an image. PaperPort
analyzes the image and tries to correct whatever is
wrong with it.
