Using a previously 
captured image as a 
starting point

IMPORTANT: You must use an uncorrected image as your starting 

point for any activity which will result in the creation of a 
custom color table. If you do not choose an uncorrected 
image the following message will be displayed, 

The 

origin of this image cannot be determined from the 
file! It may not have been originally scanned with 
NULL color tables, and is therefore not a valid image 
for use in this application.

1. Open the Brightness and Contrast Control application. The 

Brightness and Contrast Control main window will be displayed.

2. Select 

File>Open Image.

 The Open Image File dialog box will be 

displayed. 

3. Select the desired image file and click 

Open

. The selected image 

will be displayed on both sides of the main window.

4. Select 

Tools>Brightness and Contrast

. The Brightness and 

Contrast dialog box will be displayed.

5. Adjust the Brightness and Contrast slider bars until you are satisfied 

with the color image quality of the image that is displayed on the 
right side of the main window. As you move the Brightness and 
Contrast slider bars, the changes in the brightness and contrast will 
be visible on the right side of the window when you release the 
mouse button. Optionally, you may enter a value in the Brightness 
or Contrast fields. Acceptable values are: -50 to +50.
