· Brightness & Contrast
Changes the brightness and contrast of the image.
· Levels
This tool lets you adjust the color levels of the images by changing the intensity of shadows, light,
and halftones.
To increase the contrast of an image, move the left and right sliders on the Input levels
histogram. The range of colors between lightest and darkest is divided into 255 increments. The
left slider sets the color that will be considered to be the blackest part of the image, and the right
slider sets the color that will be considered to be the whitest part of the image. Moving the middle
slider to the right will darken the image, and moving it to the left will lighten the image.
Adjust the output level slider to decrease the contrast of the image.
· Eraser
Erases a part of the image.
· Remove Color Marks
Removes any color stamps and marks made in pen to facilitate the OCR of the text obscured by
such marks. This tool is intended for scanned documents with a white background, and should not
be used on digital photos and documents with color backgrounds.
