Resolution
The resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi), which is used to represent the image detail in a given area. The available resolution ranges from 50 to 19200. Generally, the higher the resolution is, the sharper and higher the quality of the scanned image gets. However, in some cases, high resolution is not necessary because resolution is determined or limited by many factors: image type, the original image's resolution, the output device's resolution, the available memory space in your hard disks, etc.
Pointer |
Edit box |
You can adjust the resolution by dragging the pointer to the desired resolution , directly key the value in the Edit box, or choose the value by clicking on the pull-down button.
Brightness
Brightness refers to the intensity of light reflected from or transmitted through an image. The larger the brightness value, the brighter the image appears. You can either drag the pointer, key the value into the Edit box to change the value, or choose the value by clicking on the pull-down button.
Contrast
Contrast refers to the differences in the brightness between the light areas and the dark areas of an image. The larger the contrast value, the higher the differentiation between the light and the dark areas.You can either drag the pointer, key the value in the Edit box to change the value, or choose the value by clciking on the pull-down button.
