Changing the Filter Setting
Image filters are used to soften or sharpen edges and boundaries of an image.
VistaScan provides the following filter options:
No Filter – Use this option when you do not want to sharpen or blur the image.
Sharpen – Use this option to sharpen lines that may be fuzzy or not clean in the original image.
Sharpen More – Use this option when you want to sharpen the image more than the standard Sharpen
filter does.
Blur – Use this option when you want to soften the edges of an image.
Blur More – Use this option when you want to soften the edges more than the Blur filter does.
Changing the Scale Factor
Scaling lets you automatically enlarge or reduce an image from its original size (100%) as it is scanned.
The scale factor affects the size of the scanned image and the printed scan output.
You can scale the image using any of the scale factors listed below:
• 200%
• 150%
• 100%
• 50%
