Resolution
The resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi), which is used to represent the
image detail in a given area. The available resolution ranges from 50 to 19200.
Generally, the higher the resolution is, the sharper and higher the quality of the
scanned image gets. However, in some cases, high resolution is not necessary
because resolution is determined or limited by many factors: image type, the
original image's resolution, the output device's resolution, the available
memory space in your hard disks, etc.
You can adjust the resolution by dragging the pointer to the desired resolution ,
directly key the value in the Edit box, or choose the value by clicking on the
pull-down button.
Brightness
Brightness refers to the intensity of light reflected from or transmitted through
an image. The larger the brightness value, the brighter the image appears. You
can either drag the pointer, key the value into the Edit box to change the value,
or choose the value by clicking on the pull-down button.
Contrast
Contrast refers to the differences in the brightness between the light areas and
the dark areas of an image. The larger the contrast value, the higher the
differentiation between the light and the dark areas.You can either drag the
pointer, key the value in the Edit box to change the value, or choose the value
by clciking on the pull-down button.
