Image tuning
Clicking the Image Tune button in the Cut out to
Line Image dialog box displays an Image Tune
dialog box similar to the one shown below.
From this dialog box, you can reduce the colors of
the image data (posterize) or reduce image noise
(distortions). By applying an even gradation to make
the image smoother, you can select colors more
easily, even from image data that was taken from a
scanner or other device and does not have clear
outlines.
1) The image window displays the image
resulting from the current settings.
2) Move the Tone slider to set the amount of
color reduction (posterization). Set to High to
show the original image. Set towards Low to
increase the color reduction.
3) If the Noise Reduction check box is
selected, the smaller areas of noise are
removed.
4) Click OK to show the corrected image in the
image window on the Cut out to Line Image
dialog box and to close the dialog box.

Memo:
