At times, you may wish to scan an image and then scale or
resize the image so that it can be displayed on your
monitor (either as a screen saver or wallpaper). The
sample scenario below shows how this can be done.
1. Place the image to be scanned on your scanner.
2. Go to the Preview window and click the Scan Material
icon. From the submenu that appears, choose the
correct scan material type.
3. Click the Overview button to start an overview, and you
will see the image appear in your Preview window.
4. Go to the Settings window, and choose pixels as your
unit of measurement. Then, enter the resolution value
in the Resolution edit box — 72 dpi in this case for
monitor display. If you change the resolution after
specifying the output dimensions, the dimensions will
change, and you will then need to re-enter the correct
output dimensions again.
5. Change to an initial scaling value of 200% in the
scaling menu. This step is necessary because most
scanners have a scan bed of only 8.5", and this is not
enough to generate 640 pixels with the 72-dpi
resolution specified in Step #4 (8.5" x 72=576, not
640). To compensate for the shortage in scan bed
length, we boost the scaling factor to 200%. Do not
worry about this; the final scaling will be changed but
the output dimensions will still be preserved.
6. In the Output edit boxes, enter "640" for width and
"480" for height. You will notice that the scan frame in
your preview image changes.
7. Check the Fixed Output Size box. Take note of the
flashing frame (marquee) around the selected area. If
you adjust or move the scan frame, the scaling will
change accordingly.
8. If you like what you see in the Preview window, click
the Scan button in the Preview window to start
scanning.
Go to the Settings window, and from
the Type box, choose the appropriate
image type for the image to be
scanned. For monitor display of
images, choose RGB, Grayscale, or
Web / Internet colors.
Go to the Preview window, highlight
the scan job you wish to see in detail,
and click the Prescan button.
Go to the Preview window, and select
the desired image-processing option
from the Correction menu. Alterna-
tively, you can go to the Settings
window and click on an image
processing button.
