Adjusting the Image
Brightness
Adjust the Brightness setting to get the best image. The Brother 
TWAIN Scanner driver offers 100 Brightness levels (-50 to 50). The 
default value is 0, representing an ‘average’ setting.
You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slide bar to the right 
to lighten the image or to the left to darken the image. You can also 
type a value in the box to set the level. Click OK.
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness level and 
scan the image again.
If the image is too dark, set a 
higher Brightness level and 
scan the image again. 
Contrast
You can only adjust the Contrast level when you have selected one 
of the Gray Scale settings, it is not available when you have selected 
Black & White is selected as the Gray Scale.
Increasing the Contrast level (by dragging the slide bar to the right) 
emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while reducing the 
Contrast level (by dragging the slide bar to the left) reveals more 
detail in the gray areas. Instead of using the slide bar, you can type 
a value in the box to set the Contrast. Click OK.
Color Sync Dialog 
						

							USING YOUR MFC WITH A MACINTOSH® 19 - 16
Perceptual Matching—All the colors of a given gamut are scaled 
proportionally to fit within another gamut. The purpose is to keep 
maintain the balance between the colors of the image. This is the 
best way to get realistic images, for photographs and other realistic 
graphics.
Saturation Matching
—The relative saturation of colors is maintained 
from gamut to gamut. So basically the colors are shifted to the edge 
of the gamut to get the most saturated color possible. Rendering the 
image using this intent gives the strongest colors and is the best 
choice for bar graphs and pie charts, in which the actual color 
displayed is less important than its vividness.
Relative Colorimetric Matching
—The colors that fall within the 
gamuts of both devices are left unchanged. Some colors in both 
images will be exactly the same, a useful outcome when colors must 
match quantitatively. What that means is that if the color is inside the 
gamut, it will stay the same color. However, if the color is outside the 
gamut, it will be mapped to the edge of the gamut. This intent is best 
suited for logos or “spot colors” where color must match.
Absolute Colorimetric Matching
—A close appearance match may be 
achieved over most of the tonal range, but if the minimum density of 
the idealized image is different from that of the output image, the 
areas of the image that are left blank will be different. Colors that fall 
within the gamuts of both devices are left unchanged.
