• Magic Touch lets you scan images fully automatically. The following things are all done for
you when you click on Scan:
• The scanned images are then displayed for you if you have chosen an image handling program
in the Open With function.
• If you deactivate the Do Jobs check box in the Auto Functions section of the Magic Touch win-
dow, ColorQuartet will still do the preview-scanning, image cropping and automatic image
modification, but will present the images to you for approval or manual adjustment before
final scanning. See S
emi-automatic scanning below.
• If you have multiple images that all require the same type of scanning, you can set up the
Magic Touch window the way you want it and then close it. To scan the images, just place them
in the scanner (with or without a template) and do one of the following:
