A histogram skewed heavily to the left indicates that the image has many more dark pixels than light. The Input value indicates the color value of the data displayed in the histogram. The Count value indicates the number of pixels at the Input value. If Input value is 2 and Count value is , then there are pixels in the image at the Input value of 2. Page Cancel Button Example: If you changed the tone curve, applied filters, changed brightness, then clicked Revert, the brightness changes will be cancelled, but the altered tone curve and filters settings remain in effect.
OK button Clicking on this button will apply whatever Image Corrections you have performed on the current scan job, and close the AIC dialog box. By using this tool, you can manipulate an image to either bring out the highlights in a very dark image, or bring out more of the shadows in a very light image.
If your Image Type is Grayscale, only the Gray channel is available for selection. Move the black and white sliders to new points on the histogram. Moving the black slider contrast in the highlight areas of the image, so that more detail emerges in the highlight areas. However, instead of making adjustments using just three variables highlights, shadows, and midtones , you can adjust any point along the 0-to scale for 8-bit images; Page 58 The closer the line is to horizontal, the lower the contrast.
Curve The Curve is a graphic representation of the tone curve showing scanner input from dark on the left to light on the right. Curve Tools The Curve Tools let you modify the curve. The tools are the curve pointer, the curve zoom frame, and the curve pane. Page 59 Curve Panel tool will be dimmed. Input, Output, Zoom: Input shows the horizontal value of wherever the cursor is inside the curve, reflecting the scanner's full depth. Output shows the vertical value of wherever the cursor is inside the curve, reflecting the scanner's full depth.
Page 60 Tone Curve tool Channel allows you to choose the color or gray channel in which the gamma will be affected.
Load The Load button lets you load a previously saved tone curve for use with another image. Photoshop-saved curves can also be loaded. Save The Save button lets you save a tone curve together with its settings so that the curve can be used in the future if necessary.
Increasing the brightness makes all tones in the image lighter. Contrast, on the other hand, is the range between the darkest and lightest shades in the image, and increasing the contrast makes greater separation between the darkest and lightest areas of the image.
Take note of the following: Too much brightness can make an image look washed out, while too little brightness will make the image look dark. You can remove an unwanted color cast by moving the pointer to a complementary color to balance out the tones. For instance, to remove a greenish cast from your image, move the pointer in the Wheel to the "red" Picker The Picker lets you pick a known neutral gray shade in your image and adjusts it to a closer, truer gray.
The grays in an image may have a particular color cast which can be verified through the color information in the Info window. Page Saturation Bar Color Correction tool Radius This field shows the amount of shift towards a particular color and works in tandem with the Angle field. The Radius range extends from 0 located at the center of the Color Wheel and indicating the least concentration of color, to 1, located at the periphery of the Wheel and indicating the greatest concentration of color.
Page Action Buttons Color Correction tool 3. Use the Angle, Radius, and Picker as necessary. Click on an action button. For more details, see the section Action buttons. In using the Filters tool, keep in mind that the image you obtain in the preview window may differ from the way the image appears when you finally scan it in. Page Gaussian Blur Filter Filters Blur filters The Blur filters eliminate noise in the parts of the image where significant color transitions occur.
These filters decrease the contrast between adjacent pixels, making the image appear hazy and out of focus. Blur smooths out the transitions by lightening pixels next to the hard edges of defined lines and shaded areas. The larger the mask size, the stronger the blurring effect of the filter. The Threshold allows you to specify a tolerance range or a field of contrast between adjacent pixels before blurring is applied.
Page Emboss Filter Filters Before Emboss filter The Emboss filter makes a selection appear raised or stamped by suppressing the color within the selection and then tracing its edges with black. Before Sharpen filters The Sharpen filters do the opposite of the Blur filters and increase the contrast of adjacent pixels, making images appear sharper and more focused.
Page 72 Filters Before Unsharp Mask filter The Unsharp Mask filter adjusts the contrast of edge detail and creates the illusion of more image sharpness. This filter can be useful for refocusing an image that has become blurry from interpolation or scanning. You can choose the predefined Unsharp Mask filters in the Setting window for use, or customize the Unsharp Mask filters by yourself.
Page 73 Filters effect of the filter. The Strength specify the degree of the filter's effect here. The higher the value, the stronger the sharpening effect of the filter. Too much Unsharp Masking will emphasize the noise in the image. The Threshold defines the required range of contrast between adjacent pixels before Unsharp Masking is applied.
These patterns appear to the naked eye like a series of grids of dots or as shown in the example below. Page 75 Descreen 2. When the Descreen menu comes up, select the screen for your needs, or choose Custom to set your own descreen options. Threshold is the dividing line between black and white; the range is 0 to , and the default is Thus, gray levels below the Threshold are converted to black, while gray levels equal to or above the Threshold are converted to white, resulting in a high-contrast, black-and-white representation of the image.
Page 77 Threshold tool Using the Threshold feature: 1. Drag the sliders to change the Threshold. To darken the original, drag the slider increases the Threshold value so that more pixels are turned to black, resulting in a darker image. To lighten the original, drag the slider the Threshold value so that more pixels are turned to white, resulting in a lighter image. In the Preview window of the Advanced Control Panel, marquee the faded image area to be restored.
In the Settings window, check the "Automatic Color Restoration" option. Click the "Scan To" button to perform scanning. Automatic Color Restoration is applied, and faded colors in the photo are restored. If this option is unchecked, the scanned image will appear like the original, with no image If the "Automatic" option is selected, a color enhancement algorithm applies. To use the Automatic Color Enhancement function: 1. In the Settings window, select the Filter drop-down menu.
From the drop-down menu, select your sharpening option from Low, Medium, and High. How do I test if my scanner is working properly? What is Kodak Color Management System?
