Image Enhancement in Workflows

Display images for manual enhancement - during the execution of a
workflow, each loaded image will be displayed for manual editing.
Apply enhancement template - an already saved enhancement template
will be applied automatically to the image while being processed by the
workflow.
Apply enhancement template and display - the workflow will apply the
selected image enhancement template, and will also display the image so
that you can make further edits to it.

Zones and backgrounds

Zones define areas on the page to be processed or ignored. Zones are
rectangular or irregular, with vertical and horizontal sides. Page images in
a document have a background value: process or ignore (the latter is more
typical). Background values can be changed with the tools shown. Zones
can be drawn on page backgrounds with the tools shown under Zone
Types and Properties (see later).
Process areas (in process zones or backgrounds) are auto-zoned when they
are sent to recognition.
Ignore areas (in ignore zones or backgrounds) are dropped from
processing. No text is recognized and no image is transferred.
