To scan color or grayscale items:
1. From the Visioneer menu, choose Scan Settings. The Scan Settings
dialog box appears.
2. From the Target Application pop-up menu, choose the target
application for which you want to set the scan mode. Settings for the
application appear.
3. From the Scan Mode pop-up menu, choose Storing Photos, or click
the Edit button and then choose Color or Grayscale from the
Number of Colors pop-up menu. The new settings now become the
settings used by the selected target application.
4. Scan your color or grayscale item.
After you scan the color or grayscale item, it is a good idea to change
the target application scan mode back to its original setting, unless
you will routinely be scanning color or grayscale items to the
application.
▼ NOTE: Color scanning takes longer and creates a larger file.
SCANNING TO GET THE BEST IMAGE
Using the scan settings, you can improve the quality of an image by:
• Changing the brightness and contrast of a scan
• Straightening a crooked page
• Removing the black edges
• Changing the file compression
You select these settings before you scan an item. For information about
adjusting an image, such as changing the tint, brightness, and color after
you scan an item, see Chapter 6, “Fine-Tuning Images.”
