Improving Image Before Final Scan When you scan your original image without making any adjustments of your own. ScanWizard 5-Standard will auto process to enhance the quality of your digitized image by using its default image editing settings. If you are not satisfied with what ScanWizard 5-Standard has done for you (as reflected in the preview image), you may modify the default artwork and apply your own image manipulation before final scanning by using the image correction tools panel under the Adjust button. When the image correction panel displays, adjust the preview image by dragging the pellet button of each tool along its groove. Observe a live update taking place with your preview image as you manipulate each of the image correction tools. To reset a correction tool back to its original position, click on the reset icon right end of each tool (see figure at right). 9 Note: that the new settings are automatically saved and will remain in effect for the subsequent scanning sessions (after a reboot) unless otherwise redefined or if they are reset to default settings (as explained in the following section). Output Image Setting Information As you perform adjustments and define various settings for the output of your original image (as reflected in preview image), scanWizard 5- Standard monitors and makes records of them. Part of the defined settings are displayed in the Status Bar (at the bottom of ScanWizard 5 window) as soon as changes are made, while a separate and more comprehensive record of the changes are kept at the same time. To view a complete record of your settings, click on the information icon [ I ] at the left end of Status Bar. The Image Information window then appears, listing all the current settings for your output image. If you have not made any adjustment, the default settings will display.

[. . . ] This needs to be done so that SW 5 sends the command to open the saved and scanned file in the imaging program you choose. Notice we named the file "My New Photo" and we chose *. JPG as the file type. Notice that ScanWizard 5 will automatically detect all the imaging programs installed on your computer. Click on the Save button in the Microtek ScanWizard 5 ­ Scan to: Save As window and your scanner will scan your image.
