1 Before you Begin What is ScanWizard 5? ScanWizard 5 is the scanner driver program for Microtek scanners. This driver program consists of two panels: Standard Control Panel and Advanced Control Panel. Standard & Advanced Control Panels Standard Control Panel The Standard Control Panel is best for beginners who need a simple and easy way to scan an image. This panel provides basic tools for adjusting and enhancing your original image to final scan.
Standard & Advanced Control Panels Who Should Use the Standard Control Panel? If you are new to the world of image scanning, the ScanWizard 5-Standard Control Panel was designed for you. The SW-Standard Control Panel will give you the power to scan photos or documents without having to learn the art of professional digital imaging. It provides a simple but straightforward control over the look of your preview images before they are scanned.
Scanner Control Power-Saving An energy-saving feature is built into recent scanners models, in which the scanning lamp switches to power-saving mode when the scanner remains idle for a defined period of time. The scanner reverts to full power mode as soon as the Preview, Scan, Scan to, Copy, or E-mail button is executed. Aside from saving power, the feature also helps extend the service life of the lamp and prevents the caking and deformation of your film original resulting from long exposure to lamp heat.
Define idle time interval for Power-Saving mode to take effect (60 minutes maximum) Uncheck this box to disable PowerSaving feature Compression Pane is enabled only if the scanner supports compression feature (see next page) Standard Mode Compression Capability Compression is supported in certain scanner models. If your scanner does not support any of the compression modes (Lossless or Lossy), the Compression pane in the Scanner Control dialog box is grayed out (see figure in previous page).
Scanner Information Click Scanner menu bar (Advanced mode, top) or Scanner icon (Standard mode, bottom), then choose scanner information from their respective menus to display the Scanner Information window ScanWizard 5 is constantly in touch with your scanner, monitoring the scanner availability, serviceability, as well as its make and model.

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.
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.
Scan Frame, Scaling, and Output The input / output dimensions of your image are controlled by the Scan Frame Settings, Scaling, and the Output Settings. Together with the Scan Frame options, these fields allow to you control with precision the size of the image to be scanned or output. The edit boxes for Scan Frame settings, Scaling, and Output settings.
Output Settings 3. Keep Proportion The Output settings (width and height) represent the dimensions of image when it is output (to either monitor or printer). If the size of the image to be output is different from the size of the original source image, adjust the scaling percentage, or manually increase / decrease the output values accordingly. When the Keep Proportion option is checked, the width and height values of the image are kept in proportion despite changes made to either setting.
Using Advanced Image Correction The Advanced Image Correction (AIC) features include several powerful controls for image adjustment and enhancement. The use of the AIC was covered in an earlier section, and below is a more detailed explanation of each AIC feature. Tone Curve This tool allows you to either set a gamma value or completely customize the mapping of the scanned image to output image data.
Custom Settings You can also create custom settings in each Advanced Image Correction control, and then add them to the Settings window menus for quick access to those settings. To create a custom setting: To remove a custom setting: 1. 1. Choose the desired AIC control in the Settings window, and select Custom from the drop-down menu on the right side. 2.
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.
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.
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.
Multiple Job Selections The function buttons at the bottom of the Scan Job window (except the New and Load / Save buttons) can be used for multiple job selections.

From the submenu that appears, select how the cursor lines will appear.
Overview Setup This command lets you set the area you want to overview off the scanner bed and provides some overview options as well. By default, ScanWizard 5 overviews the maximum scan area as determined by your scanner model's bed size. You can, however, customize the overview area so that the scanner consistently overviews only the specific dimensions you have in mind. For example, if your maximum scan area is 8.
1 Overview Area: This represents the scan bed size. The dimensions of this overview area, however, will depend on the size as stipulated by #2 and #3 below. 2 Size: This option lets you choose whether to do an overview of the Maximum area or a Custom area. • Maximum refers to the maximum area that can be overviewed. The dimensions of the maximum area vary, depending on your scanner model from 8.5" x 11.7 to 8.5" x 14". Take note that transmissive scan areas are smaller.

Go to the Preferences menu in the Preview window, and choose Prescan Setup. 2. When the Prescan Setup dialog box appears, specify your choices. • Prescan Image Margin: The options here let you specify how wide or narrow the margin around the scan frame is in the prescan image.
Invert This command inverts images of all scan jobs to negatives. Take note that all scan jobs are inverted at the same time; you cannot invert an individual scan job alone. When an image is inverted, the brightness value of each pixel is converted to its inverse value. In the case of 24-bit images, for example, a pixel in a positive image with a value of 255 is changed to 0, and a pixel with a value of 5 is changed to 250. To use this feature: Choose the Invert command in the Preferences menu.
C. Smoked Glass as Background • This option lets you apply a smoked glass background that makes your scan jobs stand out more clearly. This feature can also be used if you have multiple scan jobs in their respective image modes, and this will be shown clearly in the Preview window (example: 1 job in color, another in B&W). Best: This setting is available only to higher-depth scanners (10-, 12-bit, or higher).
temporary files deleted at the end of an operation. You should change to a different folder only if the scratch directory is located in a disk volume that is too small for scanning operations. To specify a new scratch directory, choose Other Directory... from the menu. The Correction Menu The Correction Menu lets you use the Advanced Image Correction (AIC) features of ScanWizard 5. The commands in the Correction menu correspond to the AIC buttons in the Settings window.
The Toolbar Scan Frame Zoom Pane Info Window Reference 5-23
Scan Frame tool The Scan Frame tool lets you select the area to be scanned or prescanned in high resolution. You can have multiple scan frames, but only one scan frame can be current at a time; the current scan frame is indicated by a flashing marquee. Multiple scan frames can be more easily distinguished if you turn on the Smoked Glass Background command (in the Preferences menu). Scan Frame tool To use the Scan Frame tool: 1. Click the Scan Frame tool. 2.
Zoom tool The Zoom tool lets you zoom in (magnify) and zoom out (reduce) your view of the image. Only your view of the preview image is changed; the actual size of the image remains unaffected. Each click of the zoom tool magnifies or reduces by a factor of 2. Thus, the magnification levels increase from 100% to 200%, to 400%, and to the maximum 800%. When you reach the maximum magnification factor, the center of the Zoom tool will appear empty.
Pane tool The Pane tool lets you scroll through an overview or prescan image, allowing you to move parts of the image into view quickly without using the scroll bars. You can use the Pane tool for scrolling through zoomed-in images that were enlarged through the Zoom tool, or for scrolling through parts of an image not included completely within the frame of the preview window. To use the Pane tool: 1. Click the Pane tool. 2. Move the pointer (now in the form of a hand) to the image.
Info Window tool The Info Window tool creates Info Window, which are used to isolate and identify precise colors in a given image, providing a visible and retrievable record of color values. With the use of this tool, ScanWizard 5 lets you pinpoint the color on the image, showing you the original or “Before” values, as well as the corrected or “After” values following the application of image adjustment controls.
You can also change the sample size of the Info Window tool and specify whether you are sampling a 1x1 pixel area, 2x2, and so forth. The sample size is changed in the Information window. To change the sample size of the Info Window tool: 1. Open the Information window by choosing the Show Info Window command in the View menu. 2. Click the Sample Size button, located to the right of the RGB values in the Information window. 3. Choose your options.
Overview, Prescan, and Scan The Overview button previews the image in the scan bed. By default, the entire scan bed is previewed when you click the Overview button. To change the area to be previewed, specify the dimensions in the Overview Setup command (in the Preferences menu). The Prescan button previews in high resolution the area selected by the scan frame tool. Multiple prescans can be done if you have selected several scan jobs.
Rulers Unit of Measurement The rulers on the top and left sides of the Preview window help you with measurement and alignment, marking off measurement according to the selected unit (inch, pica, pixel, etc.). The unit of measurement can be selected in two ways: • Through the Unit box in the Settings window. The rulers change when dimensions are altered in the preview area of the Overview Setup command (in the Preferences menu).
The Settings Window The Settings window contains the commands for outputting your scanned image and includes the image-enhancement tools of the ScanWizard 5.
1 Job: This shows the current scan job as indicated by the Scan Job window and by the selected image in the Preview window. 2 Type: This shows the image type of the current scan job. 3 Resolution: This lets you specify the output resolution in your final scan. 4 Resolution list box: This provides predefined resolution values for easier selection of the resolution setting. 5 Resolution unit: This provides the unit of selection for resolution. Choose from ppi and several lpi options.
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.
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. Palette: The Palette option lets you choose the method for creating the color palette table.
Resolution Resolution is the sampling of image pixel per measurement unit or the amount of pixel information stored in an image. Together, the image resolution and dimensions determine the file size of the image, which is measured in kilobytes (KB) or megabytes (MB). The resolution of an image is important in determining the quality of the output image. Resolution is also directly related to file size, and the higher the resolution, the larger the resulting file size will be.
Scan Frame, Scaling, Output, and Transform The input / output dimensions of your image are controlled by the Scan Frame Settings, Scaling, and the Output Settings. Together with the Scan Frame options, these fields allow to you control with precision the size of the image to be scanned or output. The edit boxes for Scan Frame settings, Scaling, and Output settings.
Output Settings 3. Keep Proportion When the Keep Proportion option is checked, the width and height values of the image are kept in proportion despite changes made to either setting. This preserves the aspect ratio of the image. The Output settings (width and height) represent the dimensions of the image when it is output (to either monitor or printer).
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. 3. Click the Scan button in the Preview window.
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.
Elements of the Advanced Image Corrrection screen 1 2 4 5 3 6 7 1 Left Thumbnail: This shows the image before enhancements are applied. 2 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. 3 Advanced Image Correction Tools (AIC): These tools let adjust or enhance your images.
The Action Buttons The Action buttons in the AIC dialog box carry out a specific action. Details follow. OK button Reset button This button applies to the current scan job whatever image enhancements you have performed, and then closes the AIC dialog box. 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.
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.
White / Black Points The histogram located in the White & Black points screen shows the total distribution of color data before user corrections are applied. This tool lets you adjust the white and black point of the scanned image. The white / black point controls which color value of the image to be scanned appears as absolute white / black in the output image. Other color values are adjusted in a similar manner.
1 Histogram: The histogram is a graphic representation of how all the pixels in an image are distributed across brightness and darkness levels. The darkest pixels are at the left; the lightest pixels are at the right. • The Percent value is the percentage of all pixels in the image where color value is less than or equal to the input value. For example, if Percent is 15% and Input value is 2, it means that 15% of all pixels in the image have a value of 2 or less.
To use the White & Black Point tool: 1. Choose the Channel in which the histogram will be modified. • If your Image Type is RGB, select Master to modify the tone curve in the red, green, and blue color channels of the image simultaneously; or select the color channels individually (red, green, blue) to modify that particular color channel. • If your Image Type is Grayscale, only the Gray channel is available for selection. 2. Move the black and white sliders to new points on the histogram.
Tone Curve The Tone Curve tool lets you adjust the tonal range of an image. However, instead of making adjustments using just three variables (highlights, shadows, and midtones), you can adjust any point along the 0-to-255 scale (for 8-bit images; 0-to 4096 scale for 12-bit images). The Tone Curve tool applies to grayscale and all color images and is not available for line art or halftone scan modes.
How to Use the Tone Curve 2 3 4 1 5 6 7 1 Curve: The Curve is a graphic representation of the tone curve showing scanner input from dark on the left to light on the right. 4 Input, Output, Zoom: • Input shows the horizontal value of wherever the cursor is inside the curve, reflecting the scanner's full depth. The example above shows the cursor pointing to the middle of the curve and having a value of 1696 on the 0-to-4095 pixel scale, for a 36-bit scanner like the ScanMaker 5.
5 Curve Tools: The Curve Tools let you modify the curve. The tools are the curve pointer, the curve zoom frame, and the curve pane. Pointer Zoom Frame Pane Use the Curve Pointer tool to define points in the curve that will be modified. When you click on any point in the curve, a black handle appears to mark your position. To remove the handle, drag it off the graph. Use the Curve Zoom Frame tool to zoom in and out on a particular point in the curve.
Brightness & Contrast The Brightness & Contrast tool lets you control the brightness and contrast levels of the entire image. Increasing the brightness makes all tones in the image lighter. Contrast, on the other hand, is the range between the darkest and lightest shades in the image, and increasing the contrast makes greater separation between the darkest and lightest areas of the image. Note: Individual channel adjustments for brightness and contrast are not supported.
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.
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.
1 Color Wheel: The Color Wheel allows you 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.
Filters The Filters tool lets you apply or create special effects to your images. The filters include Blur, Blur More, Sharpen, Sharpen More, Edge Enhancement, Emboss, Unsharp Masking, and Gaussian Blur. In using the Filters tool, keep in mind that the image you obtain in the preview window may differ from the way the image appears when you finally scan it in. The appearance of the image in the preview window and how it is affected by a filter will depend on the resolution of the image.
Blur filters Sharpen filters The Blur filters eliminate noise in the parts of the image where significant color transitions occur. These filters decrease the contrast between adjacent pixels, making the image appear hazy and out of focus. The Sharpen filters do the opposite of the Blur filters and increase the contrast of adjacent pixels, making images appear sharper and more focused. • Blur smooths out the transitions by lightening pixels next to the hard edges of defined lines and shaded areas.
Descreen The Descreen tool lets you remove moiré patterns in the scan process. Moirés occur when you scan a screened original (mostly reflective materials, such as pictures from a newspaper or magazine), and these patterns appear to the naked eye like a series of cross-hatching lines, as shown in the example below. To use Descreen: 1. Click the Descreen tool. 2. When the Descreen dialog box comes up, enter a value that best corresponds to the dot quality of the original in which the moiré is to be removed.
Custom Settings You can also create custom settings in each Advanced Image Correction control, and then add them to the Settings window menus for quick access to those settings. To create a custom setting: To remove a custom setting: 1. 1. Choose the desired AIC control (e.g., W&B Points, etc.) in the Settings window, and select Custom from the drop-down menu on the right side.
The Information Window The Information window provides information on the cursor and the preview image. It also allows you to change zoom levels directly, in much the same way like using the Magnifying Lens tool in the Preview window. The Information window is a "floating window" and does not appear when you start up the scanning software. To display the information window, click on the Show Info window command in the View menu (in the Preview window).
Using the Zoom Level Display The Zoom Level Display magnifies your view of an image, much like the Magnifying Lens tool in the Preview Window. The magnification factor in both Zoom Level Display and the Magnifying Lens tool is by a factor of 2. Thus, the magnification levels increase from 100% to 200%, to 400%, to 800% and to the maximum 1600%. To use the Zoom Level Display: Click on the Zoom Level box. From the drop-down menu that appears, select your zoom or magnification level.
Using the Color Meter Display The Color Meter Display is useful if you wish to adjust the shadow and highlight points of an image. As you pass over a point in the image, the Color Meter Display will show the appropriate RGB values of that point in the image. The significance of the numbers is explained below. • There are two numbers shown in the Color Meter Display.
Pixel-value information is useful especially if you are making color corrections based on color values. Knowing this, you can modify the shadow and highlight points of an image, then come back to the same point in the image, and verify through the Color Meter Display that the RGB values have indeed changed. The Color Meter Display can also be used in conjunction with the Color Picker tool. For more details, see the Color Picker topic in the Preview Window section of the Reference.
Using the Sample Size button The Sample Size button provides options for choosing how extensively the color information will be read — whether the color information will apply to a pixel, a 2-pixel by 2-pixel area, or a wider expanse (maximum 5-pixel by 5-pixel area).
Sample Size Options This determines the expanse of color information to be made available. For instance, if you choose 5 x 5 as your sample area, this means your RGB values will represent color information for a 5-pixel by 5-pixel area. If you choose 1 x 1, the color information pertains to a single pixel — the one in the middle of the Pixel Display. The 1 x 1 sample size means the RGB numbers represent the color value of a single pixel — the one in the middle of the Pixel Display.
Using the Scan Job Window The Scan Job window is a floating window that shows your scan jobs. By definition, a scan job 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 in the Scan Job window). Note: If the Scan Job window is closed, go to the View menu in the Preview window, and choose the Show Scan Job window command.
1 Menu for changing image type: To change the image type, click on the arrow to the left of the thumbnail and select the new image type from the drop-down list that appears. 2 Thumbnail of prescan image: A thumbnail appears for the selected scan job after you click the Prescan button in the Preview window and perform a prescan for the scan job. 3 Checked scan job: Checked scan jobs are the ones that are scanned when you click the Scan button in the Preview window.
Multiple Job Selections The function buttons at the bottom of the Scan Job window can be used for multiple job selections. The New and Load / Save button can be used on only one selected scan job. The Duplicate, Delete, and Check buttons can be used, however, on multiple selected scan jobs. For example, you can select multiple scan jobs, and then click the Delete button to remove all the jobs simultaneously. To select multiple scan jobs, press the Shift key and click on the jobs to be selected.
Loading and Saving Scan Job Templates This feature lets you save scan jobs that can be loaded at a later time when necessary. The idea of saving and loading scan jobs has important applications, especially for scanners with different templates or “trays”. Saving / loading scan jobs is also useful if you consistently work in a specific format, scan the same kind of images, or if the scanner is used by several users who have their own sets of jobs.
To add the scan job template to the scan job list: 1. Select the folder on the left-hand side, and double-click it to open the folder. 2. Click the Add button to add highlighted or selected templates, or click the Add All button to add all the scan job templates in the folder. Note: You may also add individual scan jobs to the scan job list. To save scan jobs as a template: 1. Select a folder on the left-hand side, and double-click the folder to open the folder. 2.
Appendix A: Color Matching for Advanced Users This section contains important information on further steps you need to take to achieve color matching across your devices. The procedures to be performed include monitor calibration and how to set up ScanWizard 5 with the Apple ColorSync™ system and the Adobe Photoshop software. Some recommendations are also given in order to achieve color matching across devices.
Using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 A. Adobe Photoshop 5.0 Setup: 1. In the File / Color Settings / RGB Setup dialog box, select your desired RGB workspace. 2. Check and enable the Display using Monitor Compensation check box. 3. Make sure that the selected RGB workspace in Photoshop matches ScanWizard 5’s RGB Destination selection. This way, the scanned images shown in Photoshop will match the preview image that was shown in ScanWizard 5. Do not change your monitor profile (i.e.
Using Adobe Photoshop 4.0 A. Adobe Photoshop 4.0 Setup: Additional Notes 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. These additional notes pertain to the use of the Batch Scan feature of ScanWizard 5.
Appendix B: Kodak Color Management System This appendix is copyrighted by, and licensed from, Eastman Kodak Company. KCMS Overview Some Background Information Everyone perceives colors differently. Even the same person’s perception can be affected by different lighting conditions. Different devices (input, display, and output) also interpret and define color differently and simply can’t create the same gamut (or “range”) of colors.
How Color Management Works The aim of color management is to preserve true color information by making up for the differences in the way devices communicate color.
When you print the image, the CMS again translates the image data from the monitor’s RGB color space to the printer’s CMYK color space—using the information about both devices as stored in their Color Profiles. So, although all of the devices in this example use different device dependent color spaces, the CMS is able to translate between them and produce accurate, predictable color. What are Device Color Profiles Color Management Systems use Device Color Profiles to interpret color data between devices.
A Word about Source and Destination People often get confused about what is the “source” of an image and what is its “destination,” so let’s clarify this. In general, the “source” of an image refers to where the image currently is, and the “destination” is where you want the image to go. In CMS terms, “source” means the Color Profile used to bring the image data into the Profile Connection Space (PCS). “Destination” means which Color Profile is used to get it from PCS to the destination device.
This technology adds significant improvement in the quality and performance of the Color Management System. Note: You use the Source/Destination information when you setup or use your CMS-based application, such as PageMaker 6.5. Controlling UCR & GCR Controlling UCR and GCR with Professional CMYK Profiles In the final stages of color prepress production, the issues change: And your role changes with them. You become that of a professional separator.
The neutral center of both diagrams show different UCR/TAC settings. With UCR applied, less process inks and more black increases the density in the shadows.

Increased amounts of GCR also allows your printing company to use a somewhat higher proportion of black ink, thus reducing cost—which saves you money.

Appendix C: ScanWizard 5 Assistant ScanWizard 5 Assistant is a companion utility to ScanWizard 5. ScanWizard Assistant is installed simultaneously with ScanWizard 5, so no special installation for the Assistant is needed, and it appears on your desktop as shown in the figure below. This utility works as a shortcut toolbox, allowing you easy access to ScanWizard 5’s frequently used functions -- Scan to File, Copy, and E-mail.
Setting Preferences The Preferences command allows you to modify the appearance of the toolbox. To set the preferences, click on the Edit menu from the menu bar, then select Preferences. Open ScanWizard 5 Assistant at Start-up If you check this option, the ScanWizard 5 Assistant toolbox appears on the screen each time you start your computer.
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.
Color matching An important feature of ScanWizard 5 that ensures color is displayed consistently — from the initial input stage when an image is captured by the scanner, to the final output stage when the image is output to your monitor or printer. Colormeter An element of the Information Window with input and output components showing pixel values of an image at a specific x/y location.
Grayscale An image type that contains more than just black and white, and includes actual shades of gray. In a grayscale image, each pixel has more bits of information encoded in it, allowing more shades to be recorded and shown. 4 bits are needed to reproduce up to 16 levels of gray, and 8 bits can reproduce a photo-realistic 256 shades of gray. Halftone A type of single-bit image composed of a pattern of black dots that fool the eye into seeing shades of gray.
Lpi (lines per inch) The resolution of printed images. Lpi is distinct from dpi, which measures the resolution of electronic images. Midtones The parts of an image between the lighter and darker areas, at around 50% gray. Moiré An undesirable pattern in color printing that results from incorrect screen angles of overprinting halftones. Moirés usually result when you scan a halftone or when you scan images taken directly from a magazine (instead of scanning a photographic original or a transparency).
RGB The color model in which every color is composed of a varying amount of the three colors of red, green, and blue. Saturation The intensity of a color, or the amount of color in a specific hue. For instance, the image of a bright red apple will appear to be "more red" if the colors are saturated. Scaling The process of creating larger or smaller images in ScanWizard, so that the images don't have to be resized later when they are delivered to the image-editing program.
Info Window Windows created from the use of the Info Window tool and which are used to isolate and identify precise colors in a given image, providing a visible values. Threshold A special resistor pack or a block of resistors that tells the computer where the end of the SCSI chain is and ensures the electrical integrity of the bus signals. The dividing line between black and white; the default value is 128.
