ScanWizard Pro provides several image categories to choose from, which can
influence the auto-correction function and provide a more accurate output image.
To select the correct image category, go to the Settings window and choose the option
you wish from the Image Category menu. Select the image category that corresponds
most closely to the image characteristics of your original. The selected image
category provides a starting point of predefined settings that can be applied to your
image and bring out characteristics specific to that image type.
