application.

and dragging a rectangle around the object or text you want to
crop, click the Auto Crop button to size the rectangle exactly to
the size of the object or block of text enclosed in the rectangle.
Auto Tone Adjustment
Automatic analysis and adjustment of the image using Contrast/

Automatic Preview
When the automatic preview feature is switched on, the original

is launched from the parent software application. To switch this
feature on and off, open the Preferences sheet and click the
button for "Automatically execute a preview".
Bits and Bit Depth
A bit (binary digit) is the smallest possible unit of information on a
computer; it represents yes or no; on or off; 1 or 0. Bit Depth is
used to describe the complexity of a graphic image.
One-bit, or bilevel images are black and white. This is the Black
and White setting in ScanGear CS. Eight-bit grayscale uses 256
shades of gray to accurately represent most black and white
photographs or gray interpretations of color images. This is the
Grayscale setting in ScanGear CS. Twenty-four-bit color, also called
True Color, uses three eight-bit channels, one channel each for
Red, Green and Blue, to create up to 16.7 million colors. This is the
Color setting in ScanGear CS.
