[. . . ] There is always at least one scan job in existence (default); all entries (with or without image) in the film holder are always treated as multiple entries in the Job Panel window. These entries are similarly shown as multiple entries in the Job box list of the Settings window. Selecting a frame as a scan job may be done from either the Job box list or Job Panel window and the selected scan job is always reflected in both places. If the selected scan job has previously been prescanned, the pertinent prescan image will display in the Preview window as well. This means that a quick look at the Job box, the Preview Window, or the Job Panel window, will show you your current selected scan job. The current scan job will always appear in the Settings window and Job Panel window. If prescanned, it will also display in the Preview window 54 Microtek ScanWizard Pro TX for Mac & PC Type ScanWizard Pro TX allows direct scanning of your original into the following color spaces described below. The desired color space for your output can be selected from the Type list box of the Settings window. RGB RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) images use three colors to reproduce up to 68. 7 billion colors. Because scanners and monitors are RGB devices, the RGB color space is the most commonly used color space for capturing and displaying images. ScanWizard Pro TX offers standard RGB and 48-bit RGB color selection, with the 48-bit option available for the Artix line of scanners and other Microtek professional pre-press scanners. Grayscale Grayscale images use shades of gray to simulate gradations of color or tonal values, and contain 8 bits per pixel. The Grayscale 16-bit option is provided in ScanWizard Pro TX for professional pre-press scanners. CMYK CMYK images are made up of the standard four colors (cyan, magenta, yellow and black or K) for separated film or digital files used for sheetfed or web offset printing. CMYK mode instantly converts the scanner's RGB input to the CMYK color space. Lab Color Lab images are three-channel images containing 24 bits per pixel. Lab mode is useful for editing a pixel's luminance but not its color values. Lab mode produces device-independent color and is recommended for moving images between systems or printing to a PostScript Level 2 printer. Reference: The Settings Window 55 Web / Internet Colors This mode is useful for displaying images on the Web or Internet. Output for the Web / Internet color mode in ScanWizard Pro TX is 8-bit, 256 indexed color images in the sRGB color space. 256 Colors (Default) / 256 Colors (Custom) These are single-channel images (8 bits per pixel) that use a color lookup table containing up to 256 colors. As an initial setting, selecting 256 Colors (Default) uses an Adaptive palette with Diffusion. If the 256 Colors (Custom) option is selected, the dialog box below appears. 1) Palette: The Palette option lets you choose the method for creating the color palette table.
