Image Types ScanWizard 5 supports a variety of image types, including RGB, Grayscale, and bitmapped (Line Art, and B&W Diffusion). The three most common image types are described below, and information on other image types is available in the Supplementary Information section of the manual. 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 5 for professional pre-press scanners. Line Art: Line Art images are made up of one bit of color (black or white) per pixel. Few editing options are available in this mode, but this mode is useful for images consisting purely of black and white or even single colors, such as mechanical drawings, blueprints, or fine-line illustrations.
RGB Color: RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) images use three colors to reproduce up to 68.7 billion colors. RGB mode is used for most color images and is generally the mode employed for on-screen multimedia projects. ScanWizard 5 offers 24-bit RGB and 48-bit RGB color selection. The 48-bit option is exclusively available for Microteks high-end professional pre-press scanners.
The Toolbar Scan Frame tool: Lets you define the area to be scanned. The area of the overview or prescan image selected by the scan frame is the part that is scanned when you click the Scan button. To resize a scan frame, drag on the corner or edge of the scan frame surrounding the image, and resize the frame to the desired area. Zoom tool: Zooms in (enlarges) or zooms out (reduces) the view of the preview image. To zoom in, click inside the image. To zoom out, hold down the Option key and click the mouse. The Scan Material icon Appearance of the icon when scanning in reflective mode.
Pane tool: Scrolls through a zoomed-in image. Dropper tool: Lets you use the Information window feature of ScanWizard 5, and also lets you set the black and white points. For more details, see Using the Information Window in the Supplementary Information section.

How to Scan and Display an Image on a 640 x 480 Monitor
At times, you may wish to scan an image and then scale or resize the image so that it can be displayed on your monitor (either as a screen saver or wallpaper). The sample scenario below shows how this can be done.
Place the image to be scanned on your scanner. Go to the Preview window and click the Scan Material icon. From the submenu that appears, choose the correct scan material type. Click the Overview button to start an overview, and you will see the image appear in your Preview window. Go to the Settings window, and choose pixels as your unit of measurement. Then, enter the resolution value in the Resolution edit box 72 dpi in this case for monitor display. If you change the resolution after specifying the output dimensions, the dimensions will change, and you will then need to re-enter the correct output dimensions again. Change to an initial scaling value of 200% in the scaling menu. In the Output edit boxes, enter 640 for width and 480 for height. You will notice that the scan frame in your preview image changes. Check the Fixed Output Size box. Adjust or move the scan frame to enclose the area you wish. A flashing frame (marquee) will be around the selected area. If you like what you see in the Preview window, click the Scan button in the Preview window to start scanning.

Select an output image type (after step 7)
Go to the Settings window, and from the Type box, choose the appropriate image type for each scan job. For more details, see Image Types in the Supplementary Information section of the manual.
Specify output dimensions (after step 7)
Go to the Settings window, and enter the desired output dimensions (width and height) in the output dimension edit boxes for each scan job. The scan frame may change slightly, and you may want to go back to the Preview window to move the scan frame and enclose the area you want. For more details, see Scan Frame, Scaling, and Output in the Supplementary Information section of the manual.
Change output image resolution (before step 8)
Go to the Settings window, and enter the resolution value in the Resolution edit box for each scan job.
See a more detailed preview image or do multiple prescans (after step 7)
Go to the Preview window, highlight the scan job you wish to see in detail, and click the Prescan button. You can also do multiple prescans if you have multiple scan jobs. Simply choose all the

Image Types

ScanWizard 5 allows direct scanning in the following color spaces described below. The desired color space in ScanWizard 5 can be selected in the Type box in the Settings window. RGB Color: 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 space for capturing and displaying images. ScanWizard 5 offers standard RGB and 48-bit RGB color selection, with the 48-bit option available for Microtek professional pre-press scanners.

RGB color: 622K

Web / Internet Colors: This mode is useful for displaying images on the Web or Internet. Output for the Web / Internet color mode in ScanWizard 5 is 8-bit, 256 indexed color images. 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. The file size is smaller for images in this mode. 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.

Using the Information Window
The Information window is a floating window used to display color information about the Overview and Prescan buttons at precise x and y locations. The Information window can also be used to change zoom levels for varying magnification rates. Closely related to the Information window is the function of Information window, which is explained later in this section. To view the Information window: Go to the View menu in the Preview window, and choose the Show Info window command (toggle to hide the window).
The Zoom Level Display shows and lets you select the levels of magnification obtainable 100%, 200%, 400%, and 800%. The Mouse Cursor Position displays the position of the mouse cursor on the X and Y axis of the image. The Color Input Meter displays the input (density) pixel values at the specific X/Y location. Take note of the following: For all color image types (RGB), the density values of the raw image are displayed. For grayscale images, the gray (K) channel is displayed. For single-bit images such as line art, this section is disabled. The Color Output Meter displays the output values of the pixel at the specific X/Y location Take note of the following: The left part of the displayed values is the Before value, or the pixel value before image correction. The right part of the displayed values is the After value, or the pixel value of the final output image after all image corrections.
Sample Display area shows a pixelized display of the specific X/Y location. The size of the display area depends on the selection made in the Color Meter Options (discussed next sectiion).
Color Meter Options The Color Meter options let you choose whether you wish to display color information in numbers or percentages, and also let you choose the area of the sample size. If Value is chosen, the numbers represent values in the 0-to-255 pixel scale. If Percent is chosen, the numbers represent percentage of intensity (divided by 255). The Sample Size lets you choose the square size in pixels (default is 1x1), and ScanWizard 5 displays the average value of the square.

Color Meter Options

Using the Scan Job Window
The Scan Job window is a floating window that shows your scan jobs. By definition, a scan job is a scan that contains the following elements: a set of scanning parameters (shown in the Settings window); a scan frame (shown in the Preview window); and a scan job item (shown inthe Scan Job window). To view the Scan Job window, go to the View menu in the Preview window, and choose the Show Scan Job window command.

The Scan Material icon shows your scan material Reflective (photos and prints), Positive Transparency, or Negative Film. The Preview image or Overview image appears when you click the Preview and Overview buttons, respectively. The Preview Area is where the overview or prescan image appears after you click the Overview or Prescan button.
10 The resolution of the Prescan or Overview image is 40 ppi and is shown above the Microtek logo. 11 The Status Bar gives useful tips relating to the selected tool in the Toolbar. 12 Drag this corner to resizeryour Preview window. The size of the preview image will not change until a new Overview is done. 13 The Switch button toggles the software between Standard Control Panel and Advanced Control Panel.

The Menu Bar

The File Menu
The File Menu contains only one submenu -- the Quit command.
This command lets you exit ScanWizard 5.

The Scanner Menu

The Scanner Menu lets you do the following: Show your scanner model or select a scanner if you have multiple scanners Get information about your scanner Get information about the SCSI chain Exit ScanWizard 5

Get Scanner Probe Info

This command lets you see the SCSI devices on your SCSI chain and the SCSI ID number of the devices.

Scanner Model

The top of the scanner menu displays the scanner model you're using and its SCSI bus and ID. If you have multiple scanners on your system, all the scanners are shown with their respective SCSI bus, IDs, and the current scanner in use is indicated by a check. Only one scanner can be accessed at a time. To switch among various scanners, select the scanner to be used.
Click here to update SCSI device information
SCSI devices are shown with their SCSI ID numbers
To use the Get SCSI Chain Info feature: 1. Choose the Get SCSI Chain Info command. The SCSI Check dialog box will appear. 2. If your scanner does not show, click the Probe button. Make sure your scanner is connected and turned on. 3. Check the numbered box corresponding to the SCSI ID of your scanner or scanners. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Get Current Scanner Info

This command provides information about your current scanner, and a dialog box appears showing the scanner model, SCSI bus, SCSI ID number, firmware version, and driver information.

Scanner Driver Manager

The Scanner Driver Manager keeps track of the scanners being used on your system and the SCSI bus / ID numbers occupied by the scanners. By keeping a record of this information, the Scanner Driver Manager allows ScanWizard 5 to start up more quickly, as there is no need to look for devices on the other SCSI buses. To add a scanner: Follow the hardware installation instructions for connecting a scanner to your system. Then you can use the Scanner Driver Manager in ScanWizard 5 to add or include the connected scanner to your scanner list. 1. Go to the Scanner menu in the Preview window, and choose Scanner Driver Manager. A dialog box will appear showing the connected scanner and the corresponding SCSI bus / ID number. 2. Click the Find Scanners button. In case you have added new scanners, the newly found scanners will be appended to the scanner list. If a scanner on the list is not detected (not turned on, not ready, or removed from the system), the model will not be removed from the list but will have a question mark before it. See below for details on how to remove a scanner. 3. Click the Close button to close the dialog box.
To remove a scanner from your scanner list: 1. Go to the Scanner menu in the Preview window, and choose Scanner Driver Manager. 2. Click the Remove button to delete the scanner model from your scanner list. 3. Click the Close button to close the dialog box.

Update Scanner Menu

This command refreshes the SCSI buses and updates the Scanner menu with the current scanner list. This is most useful when ScanWizard 5 is brought up but one of the scanners is not turned on or has not become ready. Only the current scanner list is used, and ScanWizard 5 will not find or add any new scanners to the scanner list. This is a short-cut command without invoking the Scanner Driver Manager.

The View Menu

The View Menu lets you do the following: Select an overview or prescan view of an image Resize the preview window to fit current preview window Bring the Settings window to the front Show or hide the Information and Scan Job Show the ScanWizard 5 splash screen To obtain the Overview image: With the image(s) placed on your scanner, click the Overview button. To obtain the Prescan image: 1. Click the Scan Frame tool. 2. Select the area to be prescanned by drawing a frame around the area in the Overview image. 3. Click the Prescan button.

Overview Image and Prescan Image
These commands select the image obtained with the Overview and Prescan buttons, respectively, and allow you to switch between both viewing modes. The dimensions of the Overview image and Prescan image are controlled by the Overview Setup command and the Prescan Setup command, respectively. For more details, see these commands under the Preferences menu.
To obtain multiple Prescan images: 1. Define your scan jobs in the scan job window (see the scan job window section for more details). 2. To select multiple scan jobs, press the Shift key and click on the jobs to be selected in the Scan Job or Preview window. 3. Click the Prescan button in the Preview window. Multiple prescans are created in the process, corresponding to the number of scan jobs defined, and you can then switch among the various prescan images.

Scan Material

This command allows you to select your scan material whether it is Reflective (photographs and prints), Positive Transparency, or Negative Film. If you are using a dual-bed scanner such as the ArtixScan 2020 or ScanMaker 4, all three scan material options will be available for you to choose from. If you are using a flatbed scanner, the Positive Transparency and Negative Film options will not be available for selection unless you use a Transparency Media Adapter with the scanner, which will then let you scan transparencies and film media. To select the scan material: 1. Choose the Scan Material command in the Preferences menu. From the submenu that appears, select your scan material. 2. Alternatively, you can also click the Scan Material icon (beside the Scan button), and then choose the correct scan material from the drop-down menu that appears.

The unit of measurement lets you select the desired unit (inch, cm, mm, point, pixel) for your image dimensions. Important: Make sure you select the correct unit of measurement before entering any of the values for width or height in the Scan Frame Settings or Output Settings. Additional Notes When none of the Scan Frame options are checked, all five edit boxes are enabled, allowing you to edit or enter values into any of the boxes. The Fixed Scan Frame and Fixed Output Size options are mutually exclusive. This means that only one of the options can be checked at any time; checking another option will automatically uncheck the other one. When an illegal value is entered (e.g., the input width exceeds the scan frame size), the value will appear in red as a flag or warning indicating an out-of-range value.

Transform

The Transform command allows you to rotate and / or flip the image in increments of 90 degrees. The effects of the Transform command are seen only after you click the Scan button and scan the image in; the effects are not shown in the Preview or Overview modes. To use the Transform command, 1. Click on the Transform button in the Settings window. 2. From the options that appear, choose the degree of rotation you wish.
Click the Scan button in the Preview window. When the image is scanned, it will be rotated or transformed according to the selected option.
The Advanced Image Correction Tools
The Advanced Image Correction (AIC) tools are an integral part of ScanWizard 5 and include several powerful mechanisms for adjusting or enhancing your images. These tools include White & Black Points, Tone Curve, Brightness & Contrast, Color Correction, Filters, and Descreen. Take note of the following: 1. To access an AIC tool, click a particular tool in the Settings window or choose its counterpart in the Correction menu in the Preview window. 2. After clicking a tool, the AIC dialog box appears. The elements of the AIC dialog box are explained in the next section.
Note: For scanning in negative mode, the Descreen menu is replaced by the Film Type menu.
Elements of the Advanced Image Corrrection screen
Left Thumbnail: This shows the image before enhancements are applied. Right Thumbnail: This shows the image after enhancements are applied. In the example shown, the brightness and contrast features of the image have been altered. Updates to the image are shown in real time. Advanced Image Correction Tools (AIC): These tools let adjust or enhance your images. Click any tool in this area, and see how the core of the AIC screen (#6) changes to reflect the properties of that tool. Preview option: If checked, changes or enhancements are applied immediately to the Preview window image (for both Overview and Prescan images). If unchecked, changes are seen only after you close the AIC dialog box

Thumbnail option: If checked, the before and after thumbnails are shown in the AIC screen. You can choose to uncheck this option and hide the thumbnails, since changes can be previewed in the Preview window. If unchecked, the screen collapses to show only the lower portion of the dialog box. Core of the AIC screen: This is the heart of the AIC screen, and the content here changes to reflect your selected AIC tool. Action Buttons: These carry out a specific action. See the next section for more details.

The Action Buttons

The Action buttons in the AIC dialog box carry out a specific action. Details follow. OK button This button applies to the current scan job whatever image enhancements you have performed, and then closes the AIC dialog box. Example: If you increased brightness, changed the saturation, and then clicked OK, all the changes are applied, and you exit the AIC dialog box. Cancel button This button cancels out all image-enhancement changes you have made to the current scan job, and then closes the AIC dialog box. Example: If you applied filters, changed the curve, and then clicked Cancel, none of the changes will take effect, and you exit the AIC dialog box. Reset button This button brings up the Reset dialog box, where you can specify the settings to be reset by checking the box next to the targeted settings. If you click the Reset button, the settings are restored to their default values; if you click the Cancel button, the operation has no effect, and the settings remain in force. Example: If you changed the tone curve and brightness, then checked the brightness option and clicked Reset, the brightness setting of the scan job is restored to its default value. The altered tone curve, however, remains in effect. If you reset both tools, then both are restored to default.
Revert button This button cancels out the changes that were made with the current image-enhancement tool. This means that if you used several AIC tools, Revert cancels the effect of only the last used (or current) tool, and preserves the effects of the other preceding tools. Example: If you changed the tone curve, applied filters, changed brightness, then clicked Revert, the brightness changes will be cancelled out, but the altered tone curve and filters settings remain in effect. Add to Menu button This button adds the settings you have performed to the menu in the Settings window, so that you can retrieve and load the settings in the future if necessary.

Brightness and Contrast slider controls
Threshold (for Line Art images)
For Line Art images, the Brightness & Contrast screen becomes the Threshold setting, and the Threshold dialog box appears instead. Threshold is the dividing line between black and white; the range is 0 to 255, and the default is 128. Thus, gray levels below the Threshold are converted to black, while gray levels equal to or above the Threshold are converted to white, resulting in a high-contrast, black-and-white representation of the image.
To use the Threshold feature: 1. Drag the sliders to change the Threshold. To darken the original, drag the slider to the right. This increases the Threshold value so that more pixels are turned to black, resulting in a darker image. To lighten the original, drag the slider to the left. This lowers the Threshold value so that more pixels are turned to white, resulting in a lighter image. 2. Alternatively, you can enter a value in the Threshold edit box to change the Threshold. 3. The Sharpen option lets you sharpen the Line Art image.

Color Correction

The Color Correction tool changes the hue and saturation of an image. You can also add a color cast to an image by simply moving the pointer to a particular place on the Wheel, or you can remove an unwanted color cast by moving the pointer to a complementary color to balance out the tones. For instance, to remove a greenish cast from your image, move the pointer in the Wheel to the "red" portion to neutralize the greenish hue of the image. The Color Correction tool is available only for RGB and indexed color images.
1 Color Wheel: The Color Wheel allows you
4 Picker: The Picker lets you pick a known
to add or remove a color cast from an image.
2 Angle: This shows the angle of the pointer on
the Color Wheel as measured in degrees, and a value can also be entered directly in the edit box to move the cursor to any point in the Wheel. Example: 0 corresponds to the color red on the Wheel, 60 to the color yellow, 120 to the color green, 180 to the color cyan, 240 to the color blue, and 300 to the color magenta.
3 Radius: This field shows the amount of shift
neutral gray shade in your image and adjusts it to a closer, truer gray. The grays in an image may have a particular color cast which can be verified through the color information in the Information window. A gray that tends towards a reddish tint, for instance, will have its R value skewed higher than the G and B values. By using the Picker on a gray area, the gray is adjusted so that the RGB values become approximately equal.

Using Adobe Photoshop 4.0
A. Adobe Photoshop 4.0 Setup:
Photoshop 4.0 does not have color-management capabilities for RGB images. In Photoshop 4.0, RGB data is simply dumped or transferred to the monitor. As a result, the colors may appear to be different in Photoshop 4.0 compared to ScanWizard 5, regardless of the ColorSync version that you are using. To display colors consistently on both Photoshop 4.0 and ScanWizard 5, make sure that the Display using monitor compensation check box is NOT checked in the CMS Setup dialog box in ScanWizard 5.

Additional Notes

These additional notes pertain to the use of the Batch Scan feature of ScanWizard 5. When creating your batch command, you need to make sure that the color space where images will be output is set up correctly in ScanWizard 5s CMS Setup dialog box. After images are scanned, saved as files, and then opened in Photoshop 5.0, you may be asked to convert the images when the assumed RGB profile setting (in Photoshop File / Color Settings / Profile Setup dialog box) does not match your RGB workspace (in File / Color Settings / RGB Setup dialog box). Select Dont Convert, because the images have been scanned according to your color space requirement. Please note that it is not desirable to convert the image if you have previously chosen to scan as raw data; the result will not be what you expect. Always let ScanWizard 5 perform the color matching for you.
1. Go to the Preferences / CMS Setup dialog box. Check and see that the monitor selection is the same as that in the ColorSync System Profile selection (your current monitor setup). If you need to change your monitor, do this in the ColorSync Control Panel. 2. Make sure that the Display using monitor compensation check box is NOT checked. 3. To enable RGB color matching, make sure the RGB Color Matching check box is checked. Otherwise, raw RGB image data will be scanned. It is not desirable to scan in raw data and then perform ColorSync data conversion.

KCMS Overview

Some Background Information
Everyone perceives colors differently. Even the same persons perception can be affected by different lighting conditions. Different devices (input, display, and output) also interpret and define color differently and simply cant create the same gamut (or range) of colors. The goal of color management, then, is to help you get accurate, predictable color across all devices by managing, compensating for, and controlling these differences.
The Idea Behind Color Management
Each type of device reads, displays, or interprets color in a unique way. This unique interpretation is called a device dependent color space. And while there are groups of color spaces, such as RGB or CMYK each device is still unique within its group. For example, monitors display color in RGB, yet each monitor displays a unique version. The CMS automatically translates between each device dependent color spaceso the color data is accurate and understandable. This chart shows the central role of the CMS in managing device dependent color spaces.

Appendix D: Glossary

Cross-referenced entries are indicated in bold type.
Advanced Image Correction
An integral feature of ScanWizard 5 which includes powerful tools for adjusting or enhancing your images. These tools include Tone Curve, Brightness & Contrast, Color Correction, Filters, and Descreen.

Batch scan

A feature of ScanWizard 5 which lets you set up "batches" of jobs beforehand and then allows you to start the scanning process when you are ready to do so with a simple click of a button.
The smallest unit of memory in the computer. A bit can be either off or on, representing a value of 0 or 1. Greater bit-depth translates to more complexity in image information. A single-bit image, for instance, uses just one bit of data to record each pixel which is either black or white. An 8-bit grayscale image contains 256 possible shades of gray, a 24-bit color image can provide up to 16.7 million possible color combinations, while a 36-bit color image has up to 68.7 billion colors.
The Blur filters eliminate noise in parts of the image where significant color transitions occur. The Blur filters include Blur and Blur More.

Brightness

The balance of light and dark shades in an image. Brightness is distinct from contrast, which measures the range between the darkest and lightest shades in an image. Brightness determines the intensity of shades; contrast determines the number of shades you get.
