Scanner Options
Note: The Scanner options in black and white mode are scanner dependent. All settings in this filter are transmitted to the scanner, where they are processed. The software is just the front end.
Therefore, some settings may be not described; some settings may not be available.
Original – Choose from Line, Line/Photo or Name
Auto Threshold - When this option is activated, the scanner reads gray tones as follows: gray tones under the threshold turn to 0 (black), while all other gray tones turn to 1
(white). This mode suits lineart best. It should not be applied to photographs.
We recommend an ink limit of 100% in this mode
Background Removal - Used to tune background contrast (e.g. in order to further finetune text visibility) you may additionally reduce or improve the white to grey-values. The higher the clipping value, the brighter and whiter the image’s most white elements will become.
Sharpness – Used to sharpen the edge and enhance outlines. Use values from 0 to 4 with
4 being the most sharp.
