20 • Saturation (color intensity)
ColorQuartet 5.0 Pro
186
• When you scan with Scan Setup, there are two ways of achieving automatic saturation adjust-
ment:
• Both kinds of automatic saturation adjustment are based on an analysis of each individual
image as well as your specification (via the Guide menu) of how strongly you want saturation
to be applied.
• For a standard adjustment of the saturation, set the Guide menu in the Saturation window or
Auto Saturation Setup window to 100%. (This is also the level that is applied by Magic Touch.)
• Choose a lower value if you want saturation changes to be applied to a lesser degree, and a
higher value if you want them to be applied to a greater degree.
• If you do not want automatic saturation adjustment at all, set the Guide menu to None.
• Even if you adjust saturation automatically, you can still check the result in the feedback win-
dow and make any m
anual changes you want to.
Choosing a default mode for Auto Saturation
Click on the Auto Setup... button in the Saturation window to open the Auto Saturation Setup
window. You can now choose among several modes for adjusting the saturation. Once you have
set up the desired mode, ColorQuartet will remember it and use it each time you make a crop,
until you change the setup. Before closing the window, remember to check that the Guide menu is
set the way you want it. The following modes are available:
• For any given image, you can manually set the Guide menu in the Saturation
window to let ColorQuartet adjust the saturation.
• You can use Auto Satur
ation Setup to give ColorQuartet a default instruc-
tion about whether you want saturation to be adjusted automatically or not,
and to what extent.
• Automatic (Open, Auto & Close): Each time you define a crop, the Saturation
window opens momentarily, the saturation of the image is adjusted, and the
window closes again.
• Semi-automatic (Open & Auto): When you define a crop, the Saturation win-
dow opens and saturation is adjusted, but the window stays open so you can
make any checks or further adjustments you desire.
• Manual (Open): When you define a crop, the Saturation window opens, and
you can make any adjustments you desire.
• Off: The Saturation window does not open when you define a crop, and no
changes are made to the image.
