Line Art - Microtek ScanMaker i700 User Manual

Settings window
ScanWizard 5 allows direct scanning in the following color spaces described
below. The desired color space in ScanWizard 5 can be selected in the
Type box in the Settings window.
RGB Colors
RGB images use three colors (Red, Green, and Blue) to reproduce up to
68.7 billion colors. Because scanners and monitors are RGB devices, the
RGB color space is the most commonly used space for capturing and
displaying images. ScanWizard 5 offers standard RGB and 48-bit RGB color
selection, with the 48-bit option available for the Microtek professional pre-
press scanners.
Gray Scale
Grayscale images use shades of gray to simulate gradations of color or
tonal values, and contain 8 bits per pixel. The Grayscale 16-bit option is
provided in ScanWizard 5 for professional pre-press scanners.
Web/Internet Colors
This mode is useful for displaying images on the Web or Internet. Output
for the Web/Internet color mode in ScanWizard 5 is 8-bit, 256 indexed
color images.

Line Art

Line Art images are made up of one bit of color (black or white) per pixel.
Few editing options are available in this mode, but this mode is useful for
images consisting purely of black and white or even single colors, such as
mechanical drawings, blueprints, or fine-line illustrations.
Black-and-White Diffusion
This is a single-bit black-and-white image dithered with error diffusion. The
black and white pixels are arranged in a way as to "fool" the eye into
seeing gray.
