    Highlights may be lost if you brighten the image too much, and shadows may be lost if you darken the image too much.
    Contrast "Contrast" is the degree of difference between the brighter and darker parts of an image. Increasing
    contrast will increase the difference, thus sharpening the image. Decreasing contrast will decrease the
    difference, thus softening the image.
    Move 
     (Slider) under  Contrast to the left to decrease and right to increase the contrast of the image.
    You can also enter a value (-127 to 127).

    Note
    •
    Increasing the contrast is effective in adding a three-dimensional feel to soft images. However, shadows and highlights may be lost if you increase the contrast too much.

    							Adjusting HistogramYou can adjust the image color tone by using a graph (histogram) showing brightness distribution, via 
    (Histogram) in ScanGear (scanner driver)'s  Advanced Mode tab.

    Adjusting Histograms (Using the Droppers)
    When you select a  Channel and click the Black-point, Mid-point, or White-point Dropper, the mouse
    pointer on the preview image changes to a dropper. Click a Dropper displayed below the histogram to
    change the setting.

    The point clicked with  (Black-point Dropper) will be the darkest point. You can also enter a value
    (0 to 245).
    •
    The point clicked with  (Mid-point Dropper) will be the middle of the tonal range. You can also
    enter a value (5 to 250).

    							Adjusting Tone Curve
    In  Select Tone Curve , select a tone curve from  No correction, Overexposure , Underexposure , High
    contrast , Reverse the negative/positive image , and Edit custom curve .
    No correction (No adjustment)
    Overexposure (Convex curve)
    The midtone data of the input side is stretched toward the highlight of the output side, resulting in a bright-
    toned image when viewed on a monitor.
    Underexposure (Concave curve)
    The midtone data of the input side is stretched toward the shadow of the output side, resulting in a dark-
    toned image when viewed on a monitor.
    High contrast (S curve)
    The highlight and shadow of the input side are enhanced, resulting in a high-contrast image.
    Reverse the negative/positive image (Downward-sloping line)
    The input and output sides are reversed, resulting in a negative-positive inverted image.
    507 
    						
    							Edit custom curve
    You can drag specific points on the Tone Curve to freely adjust the brightness of the corresponding areas.
    508 
    						
    							Setting ThresholdYou can sharpen text in a document or reduce show-through in newspapers by adjusting the threshold level
    via 
     (Threshold) in ScanGear (scanner driver)'s  Advanced Mode tab.
    Note
    •
    This function is available when  Color Mode is Black and White .
    •
    Click Defaults  to reset all adjustments in the current window.
    Adjusting Threshold The brightness of color and grayscale images is expressed in a value between 0 and 255. However, in
    creating black and white images, all colors are mapped to either black (0) or white (255). "Threshold" is
    the borderline value that determines a color as black or white.
    Move 
     (Slider) to the right to increase the threshold value and thus increase the black areas. Move the
    slider to the left to decrease the value and thus increase the white areas. You can also enter a value (0 to
    255).
