Color Correction / Dcr - Microtek ScanMaker IIG User Manual

Color Correction / DCR

This tool applies a generic color correction profile to your
images to give it accurate, lifelike color. However, if you
have Microtek's DCR (Dynamic Color Rendition) system
installed, the Color Correction button will override the
generic color profile and apply DCR to the image.
A generic color profile is provided with the scanning soft-
ware to correct the minor color shifts that occur invariably
with scanners. To achieve optimal color correction, however,
you need DCR, a true color calibration and correction system
developed expressly for this purpose.
DCR creates an industry-standard color profile matched to
your scanner, so that colors in your scanned image are
adjusted to their optimal levels. DCR comes standard on
certain ScanMaker models and is available as an option on
other models. (To obtain DCR, call Microtek Sales at 800-
654-4160.)
The Color Correction button is turned on by default, but it
can be turned off by clicking on the button again. Color
