| # Working With ScanThru
Table of Contents How To... | The ScanThru Main window provides quick and easy access to all ScanThru functions: scanning images or documents, previewing and/or applying filters to them and sending them to a graphics-editing application.
To scan an image, perform the following steps:
Place your image on the flatbed, or put the document in the Auto Document Feeder. Select the Document Source that will be used for scanning. Preview the image or document scanned at lower resolution. Customize Scan Settings, which includes selecting Image Type, Resolution and Document Type. Adjust Image Colors, including Brightness, Contrast, Gamma, Highlight and Shadow. Apply Filters to sharpen the image contours or retouch the image. You can also descreen the images scanned from newspapers or magazines and remove fringe effect or image background. Customize image view, which includes flipping and/or rotating the image. Scan the image using the settings you defined. Set the Scan Preferences to make the scanning parameters be available the next time you perform scanning. Save the Favorites to use them when you scan documents or images.
