The Tool Chest

Crop

This is where you adjust the resolution and size
of the image according to the output device
(printer or monitor) on which the image will
be displayed.

Information

Gives the height and width of the current crop
and the coordinates of its top left corner. The
color value display shows the color of the pixel
under the cursor before and after processing.

Use these tools to select the portion of the im-
age to be scanned (the “crop”) and to rotate
and flip the image prior to scanning. You can
also select a new focus area and scroll images
that have been opened in Nikon Scan after
scanning.

Layout Tools

Curves

One of three color editing tools offered by
Nikon Scan, the curves tool is useful when ad-
justing contrast and making changes to color
balance that effect only a specific portion of
the tone range (shadows, mid-tones, or high-
lights).

Color Balance

Use the color balance tools to make adjust-
ments to brightness, contrast, and color balance
that affect the entire image.

LCH Editor

Like the Curves tool, the LCH editor can be used
to adjust brightness and contrast in shadows,
mid-tones, and highlights. It also incorporates
hue and chroma editors, which provide ex-
tremely flexible tools for adjusting color.
