Scanning Basics 25
6. Choose a resolution setting (50 to 12800 dpi). See page 30 for guidelines.
7. Click the Thumbnail checkbox if you want to use the Thumbnail preview (see
page 15). Then click Preview to see a preview of your scan.
8. Click and drag within the preview image, then select the area you want to scan.
Or do one of the following:
■ If you’re using the Full-size preview screen, click the Auto locate button
in the preview window to automatically select your entire image.
■ If you know how you plan to use the final image (for example, if you’re
printing it as a 4 × 6 photo), you can create a marquee with exactly the right
proportions. On the main screen, select a
Target Size (under the Destination
settings), then click the icon to choose either portrait or landscape
orientation. Move and resize the marquee as needed.
You can also click (Windows) or
(Macintosh) to see more options, then
type in the width and height, or scale the
image with a percentage. If Trimming is
set to On, your image is cropped to fit
the target size. If it is Off, the proportions of your original image will not be
changed.
Color and exposure adjustments are automatically applied to the marquee-
selected area (unless you’ve turned off Continuous auto exposure; see page 32).
For best results, make sure only the part of the image you want to scan is selected
(do not include borders or white space around the image).
9. Use the following Adjustment settings on the main screen to modify your image
as necessary.
Auto Adjust – If you’ve turned off
Continuous auto exposure (see
page 32), click this button to apply your color management settings and have
the software determine the best exposure and color balance for your scan.
(If Continuous auto exposure is turned on, clicking this button has no
effect.)
Histogram Adjustment – Click this button to adjust the highlight, shadow,
and gamma input levels.
Tone Correction – Click this button to choose a preset tone curve for specific
effects or to change the tone curve manually.
