Automatic and semi-automatic highlight adjustment via “Auto Setup”
How the two modes work
• Automatic: When Open, Auto & Close is chosen from the menu in the Auto Setup window,
each time you define a crop, the Highlight/Shadow
window opens momentarily, the pre-set
highlight values are applied to the image file, and the window closes again.
• Semi-automatic: When Open & Auto is chosen, the pre-set highlight values are applied to the
image, but the Highlight/Shadow window remains open on screen so that you can make any
checks or further adjustments you desire.
Setting up automatic or semi-automatic highlight mode
1 • Open the Auto Setup window by clicking on the Auto Setup... button in the Highlight/Shadow
window.
2 • From the Auto menu, choose Open, Auto & Close (for automatic highlight setting) or Open &
Auto (for semi-automatic highlight setting).
3 • If you will be scanning to a CMYK file format, type in the C, M and Y values (as dot percents)
that you want the average highlight to be set to, and activate the CMY Average Highlight
checkbox.
4 • If desired, set the sliders for automatic
Cast Reduction.
5 • Click on OK to return to the Highlight/Shadow window.
6 • Click on OK or open another color tool.
The Auto Setup settings will now be remembered and will be applied to all your scans automat-
ically until you change the settings.
Manually changing an automatic or semi-automatic highlight
If the image shown in the feedback window after using automatic or semi-automatic highlight
setting is not the way you want it, you can readjust it manually:

• Automatic: Delete the change from the image’s Co
rrection History by click-
ing on the relevant entry and then pressing Command-X (Macintosh) or the
Delete key (PC).
• Semi-automatic: Click on the Reset button in the Highlight/Shadow window.
