TEXT RECORDING AND PROCESSING

Images of text, line art, or photographs on white backgrounds are low in contrast making the back-
ground gray and muddy and the black letters and lines smokey. The camera's text-recording mode
allows the images to be processed on the DiMAGE Biz Software to improve the appearance and legi-
bility of images of two-dimensional art.

Frame the subject. The picture should be taken within 45º
degrees from perpendicular for the software's perspective con-
trol function to be effective. Press the shutter-release button to
take the picture.
If the vertical and horizontal axes of the subject are not clear,
include the edges of the artwork or place guides to help to
define the perspectives with the software. Uneven illumination,
reflections, or overexposure with flash or other light sources
may also prevent the software from being effective.
