4 Image Processing
Overview
This chapter introduces concepts that may be new to some users. The
Kodak i1400 Series Scanners provide the ability to process scanned
images to improve their quality. Using these features the scanner can
sometimes make the scanned image look better than the original
document. Basic image processing concepts are reviewed in this
chapter to help you take advantage of these features.
Image processing refers to several separate features of the scanner
that allow you to automatically adjust each image in a certain way that
may improve the resulting images. Common examples of image
processing features are correcting any skew in the fed document,
cutting the edges of the image off to remove any unneeded border or
cleaning up extraneous “noise” on the image. This can be done
automatically so you can get better images with minor rework.
The information that follows describes the image processing features.
The same options should be available on the user interface of the
scanning application you are using (i.e., Kodak Capture Software).
Terminology and
features
If you have used previous scanners from Kodak, you may be familiar
with the image processing features already. With the new graphical
user interface in the TWAIN datasource, some of the names of those
features have changed. Refer to Appendix B, TWAIN Image
Processing Terminology for a cross reference of previous names with
new names.
