Adjusting Threshold Settings (Easy/Expert Mode) - Canon FS 3.6 User Manual

Adjusting Threshold Settings (Easy/Expert Mode)

In easy mode or expert mode, the threshold tab can be used to adjust the threshold
value (the demarcation between black and white) of black and white images.
Images are collections of data assigned varying brightness values. 24-Bit Color and 8-
Bit Grayscale images express the brightness with values ranging from 0 to 255. When
a black and white image is processed, brightness is expressed with only two values,
black (0) or white (255). Accordingly, a point has to be determined at which a dot is
determined to be either black or white. This point is called the threshold value. By
changing the threshold value, you can alter the appearance of an image as shown
below. The default setting for CanoCraft FS is 128.
