“Color Balance” window to adjust the image by selecting the slider in the center and
moving it to the right. The image’s“After” view becomes lighter. Select “OK” to accept
the changes which will be sent to the scanning hardware. This can also be used to
adjust each of the functions in “Color Balance”by contrast, saturation and specic

Example: When the previewed image appears to be too dark, adjustments with
the Input slider in the Curves and Levels window can be made to correct the im-
age. Selecting the Gray slider in the center and moving it to the left will result in
changes in the “After” view resulting in a lighter image. Once the adjusted image
is acceptable select “OK” to send changes to the scanning hardware. The same
method can also be used to adjust each color channel independently, using the
