Touching Up Images

When you display an image item in the Page View window, PaperPort provides
several tools you can use to adjust or improve your image.
For example, you can straighten a scanned page, lighten an underexposed
photograph that is too dark, adjust the color in a color picture, remove "dirt
spots" from a document page, or sharpen fuzzy pictures. In addition, you can
rotate an item, remove stray dots, enhance lines, remove red eye, and crop part of
an image.
