21 S T E P 1 T o Set the Magnification Factor Set the desired magnification factor on the contr ol panel. Hint The Relationship Between Data V olume and Scanning Resolution The higher the magnification and scanning resolution settings, the greater the file size of scanned images.
22 S T E P 1 When an image is scanned, it is read as a collection of “dots.” The scan mode that is selected determines how each of these dots is repr esented in the output. The following five scan modes are available. Black & White Displays each dot as either black or white.
23 S T E P 1 Color In the Color mode, each dot is formed by assigning it eight individual bits of data to repr esent each of the RGB or red, gr een and blue colors, which add up to 24 bits. In this mode, a dot can be expressed in appr oximately 16,770,000 distinct shades.
24 S T E P 1 Hint Scanning the same image in the three different scan modes produces dif ferent file sizes. By size, Black & White mode requires the least disk space, followed in order by the Grayscale mode and the Color mode. Before scanning, check the data volume indicator on the control panel.
25 S T E P 1 Before initiating the final scan, it is advisable to check the intended r esults with the Browser function. The image in the Br owser window is more accurate than the one in the Preview window , allowing you to verify the results mor e precisely befor e scanning.

33 Adjusting and Editing Scanned Images Scanned images may be corrected for brightness and color tone or edited in a variety of ways. The potential adjustments vary with the type of scan mode utilized in the original scan. Adjustments to the scanned image may be made after the image is previewed.
34 S T E P 3 The data comprising an image contains a variety of brightness settings ranging fr om shadows to highlights. These settings are r epresented in Plug-in Module CS-U by values ranging between 0 and 255. The differ ence in these values determines the image’ s contrast.
35 S T E P 3 T o Adjust a Histogram Specify the area of the image (the entir e area to be scanned) for which a histogram will be generated. See Scan Area Settings (p. 28) . The histogram will not display correctly if an extr emely small area is selected.
36 S T E P 3 An image scanned with Plug-in Module CS-U is a composite of individual squar e dots. Each dot contains information that defines its level of brightness. Plug-in Module CS-U can manipulate this data and repr oduce adjusted images on the screen.
37 S T E P 3 The Relationship Between the Gamma Curve and Image Brightness Gamma curve values fall with a range of 1 to 255. A gamma value of 1 appears as a straight line in the gamma graph, and if the value is any value other than one, the line on the gamma graph will appear curved.
