Adjusting Colors Using a Color PatternYou can preview color changes and reproduce natural colors by using the color pattern function in ScanGear (scanner driver)'s Basic Mode tab.

"Colorcast" is a phenomenon where a specific color affects the entire picture due to the weather or ambient strong colors. Click an arrow in Color Adjustment to emphasize the corresponding color. Cyan & red, magenta & green, and yellow & blue are complementary color pairs (each pair produces a shade of gray when mixed). You can reproduce the natural colors of the scene by reducing the cast color and increasing the complementary color. It is recommended that you find a portion in the image where it should be white, and adjust the colors sothat the portion turns white. 657
