Attention Function Features The section introduces all of the options on the DigiPhoto window. Scanning Attributes Paper Size ­ Automatic Size: as long as your original complies with the scanning area requirement (maximum 4"x6"), DigiPhoto will automatically detect the size of the original you insert in and scan the exact image area. The higher the resolution, the more detailed the image, and the more memory and drive space the image will use. Brightness ­ This is amount of light that is concentrated onto a document while it is being scanned. Raising the brightness increases the amount of white in an image, making it appear more washed out. Lowering the brightness may help you read light or faint text. 12 Contrast ­ adjusts the tonal range of an image by lowering mid-tone values and increasing values for high and low tones. Gamma ­ Use the slider to adjust the image gamma for the scanned image. Changing the image's gamma value allows you to change the brightness of the colors IN THE IMAGE ITSELF. Continuous Scan ­ When you scan a number of pages consecutively, the scanner will automatically detect the original you insert in the scanner and perform scanning, without your pressing the scanner button every time. Save Setting File Format - JPG (JPEG): (Joint Photographic Experts Group) JPEG (pronounced "jay-peg) is a format that is commonly used for color images displayed on the Internet. JPEG reduces the file size of an image by discarding some of the non-critical data of the image. JPEG retains all of the color information of an image and offers varying degrees of compression.
