To plot a scan frame, move the cursor to any
corner of your intended scan frame. When the
crosshair pointer appears, drag diagonally until
you have the desired image selection enclosed in

actual scan frame border now turns into
cascading or dotted lines.

To create a new scan frame over an existing one
or to create a new scan frame in another
location of the same preview image, follow the
steps in plotting a scan frame. When you release
the mouse, however, the previous scan frame
will be discarded.

Resizing

Point at any border of the scan frame until a two­way arrow pointer appears. Drag horizontally or
vertically until you have achieved the desired
width and height adjustments.

Scan Type button

The Scan Type button allows you to select the image output to which the
original scan material will be converted. The options for choosing the output

image type are: True Color, Web Color, Gray, B&W, or JPEG.

Purpose button

The Purpose button displays a menu for selecting the intended usage of
the output image resolution. Different image resolution values are provided
for different output applications. The higher the resolution, the bigger the
memory size required for uploading and downloading images.

This is your button for defining image output resolution to match the target
application (On-screen Viewing, Normal Screen, Ink-Jet Printing, and
Laser).

Select from the menu the particular setting that will best match the
intended device application for your output image. Different types of
originals may have different predefined resolution values as shown on the
table below.

If none of the predefined resolution matches your need, you may define
your own resolution by selecting "Custom" and then enter your own
resolution value in the Edit box provided at the bottom of the menu.
Remember that the higher the resolution, the larger the file size will be.

The Toolbar simplifies the performance of certain tasks. The buttons in the
Toolbar consist of: Scan Frame, Zoom, Pan, and Pickers.

Scan Frame

White Picker

Black Picker

Scan Frame tool

The Scan Frame lets you create a single scan frame or multiple scan
frames in the preview image, which is the active area on which controls
and commands can be applied.

The Scan Frame can also be used to create batch scans. The current scan
frame is indicated by a marquee (cascading border). The current scan
frame can be more easily distinguished if you turn on the Smoked Glass
Background command (in the Preferences menu).

Zoom tool

The Zoom tool enlarges your view of the preview image, allowing you to
set the scan frame with greater precision if you need to. Only your view of
the preview image is changed; the actual output size of the image remains
unaffected.

Each click of the Zoom tool magnifies or reduces image view by a factor of

2. Thus, the magnification levels increase from 100% to 200%, to 400%,
to 800%, and to the maximum of 1600%.

Note: If the Info window is open, the zoom level will be indicated. This

file:///D|/sw56/adv_Preview_window_detail.htm (9 of 11) [8/15/03 3:59:29 PM]

Preview window

means you can also zoom in by selecting the appropriate zoom level in the
Info window.

Pan tool

The Pan tool lets you scroll through a preview image, allowing you to
move parts of the image into view.

The Pan tool can be used for zoomed-in images (enlarged through the
Zoom tool), or images not completely displayed within the frame of the
preview window (for instance, if your preview image is 7 inches wide and
you resized the width of your overview/preview window to only 3 inches).

White / Black Point Picker tool

The Picker tools allow you to sample color from a particular area in an
image, and are also useful for designating shadow or highlight point.

The White Point Picker ( ) lets you define the whitest reference point in
the preview image. Once you have picked the whitest point, excessive
white points are clipped off.

The Black Point Picker( ) lets you define the darkest reference point in
the preview image. Once you have picked the darkest point, excessive
black points are clipped off.

With the Picker tools, you can determine the color values for any pixel in
an image. When you click on the White/Black Picker and pan over a pixel,
the value for that pixel is displayed in the Info window, based on the
sample size selected in the Info window. Pixel value information is useful
especially when you are making color adjustments based on color value.

To change the sample size of the Picker tool:

1. Open the Info window by choosing the Show Info Window command
in the View menu.

2. Click on the Color Meter Options button located to the right of the
RGB values in the Info window.

3. Choose your options.

Select the sample size options from the drop-down list. For instance, the 1
by 1 option will display the value of one pixel — the one in the middle of
the Color Output Meter. The 3 X 3 option reads the average value of a 3­pixel by 3-pixel area.

To display color information for a pixel or an averaged area:

1. Click on the Picker tool.

2. As you pass over a point in the image, observe the Info window —
the RGB values will be displayed in the Color Output Meter. These
values are based on the sample size you selected.
