Crop
The Crop palette is where you specify the physical dimensions,
or output size, of the image opened in the host application after
scanning.
Reference: The Tool Chest
How you set the output size depends on how you intend to use
the image.
• If the image will be printed or used in desktop publishing:
After selecting a crop, choose a resolution suited to the de-
vice on which the image will be printed or displayed. Then
set the output size in inches or metric either by direct entry
or using the Scale slider (if you are using the image in a
desktop publishing application, you may want to choose pi-
cas or points as the output units). Where the resolution of
the printing press is not known, you may be requested to
produce a file of a specific size. In this case, simply select
Keep this file size and enter the file size directly.
• If the image will be displayed on a monitor or web page:
After selecting a crop, set the output size in pixels using the
Scale slider. Resolution in this case is not an issue. Where
file sizes must be kept small to minimize transfer times, as
when the image is to be sent by e-mail or used on a web
page, you may want to select Keep this file size and enter
the file size directly.
