Adjusting The Threshold Value - Canon CanoScan D660U User Manual

Adjusting the Threshold Value

When the scan mode is set to black and white, the image brightness can be
adjusted. The threshold value setting determines whether a halftone will be
expressed as a black or a white data point. The possible threshold values range
between 0 and 255. Below a given threshold value, all data is converted to black.
Likewise, all data with a value above the threshold is converted to white.
Accordingly, higher threshold values produce darker images while lower threshold
values result in brighter images.
Threshold Value = 128 (Standard)
To Set the Threshold Value
When the scan mode is set to black and white, click the [Tone
Adjustment] button or pull down the Image menu and select [Tone
Adjustment].
To restore the threshold setting to its default value, click this button.
