Color Match

This is an effective tool for ensuring that the colors
captured by the scanner more accurately reflect the actual
colors of the original image. Without color matching  the
scanner captures a wider range of colors but these colors
may not accurately match the true colors of the original
image, making the scan appear different from the original.

Color Balance

This tool balances the lightest and darkest areas of an
image so that they are equally distributed.

Without Color Balance

With Color Balance

Output Scaling

Output scaling allows you to enlarge/shrink the size of
the final output image.  Adjust the scaling by using the
slide bar or typing the desired setting in the Output Scaling
box.  For example, setting the Output Scaling to 200% will
double the amount of pixels contained in the image.

Width and Height

The Width and Height values show the dimensions of the
image area inside the Crop Frame.  You can change the
measurement unit to centimeters or inches.

Image Size

Image Size displays the amount of disk space needed to
display or save the image outlined by the Crop Frame in
the Preview window. The Image Size information is
automatically updated anytime you change any of the
scan settings or resize the Crop Frame.
