Touching Up Images

When you display an image item in the Page View window, PaperPort provides 
several tools you can use to adjust or improve your image. 
For example, you can straighten a scanned page, lighten an underexposed 
photograph that is too dark, adjust the color in a color picture, remove “dirt 
spots” from a document page, or sharpen fuzzy pictures. In addition, you can 
rotate an item, remove stray dots, enhance lines, remove red eye, and crop part of 
an image.
