Sample Size Options; Using The Pixel Display - Microtek ScanMaker 35T Plus User Manual

Sample Size Options

This determines the expanse of color information to be made available. For instance, if
you choose 5 x 5 as your sample area, this means your RGB values will represent color
information for a 5-pixel by 5-pixel area. If you choose 1 x 1, the color information
pertains to a single pixel — the one in the middle of the Pixel Display.
The 1 x 1 sample size means
the RGB numbers represent the
color value of a single pixel —
the one in the middle of the
Pixel Display.

Using the Pixel Display

The Pixel Display helps you see how color pixels are organized and distributed. The
display can then help you make an informed judgment on how best to modify image
characteristics such as shadows and highlights, and also allow you to verify any changes
that are made.

The 5 x 5 sample size means
the RGB numbers represent
the average value of a 5-pixel
by 5-pixel area. This would
include the whole of the Pixel
Display (which is 5 pixels long
and 5 pixels wide).
