Filters Tool - Microtek ScanMaker IIG User Manual

Filters tool

Usage
To create special
effects for images.
Note
The image you obtain
in the preview when
you use the Filters tool
may differ from the
way the image will
appear when you scan
it in. This depends on
your resolution, and
the higher the setting,
the less obvious
certain filters (like Blur)
will have.
