Image T Ype - Microtek ScanWizard EZ Reference Manual

Image Types
The Type box shows you the image type of the cur r ent scan job. ScanWizard EZ
allows direct scanning in the following color spaces described below .
RGB Color
RGB images use three colors (Red, Green, and Blue) to reproduce up to 68.7
billion colors. Because scanners and monitors are RGB devices, the RGB color
space is the most commonly used space for capturing and displaying images.
ScanWizard EZ offers standard RGB and 48-bit RGB color selection, with the 48-
bit option available for the Microtek professional pre-press scanners.
Grayscale
Grayscale images use shades of gray to simulate gradations of color or tonal
values, and contain 8 bits per pixel. The Grayscale 16-bit option is provided in
ScanWizard EZ for professional pre-press scanners.
Web/Internet Colors
This mode is useful for displaying images on the W eb or Internet. Output for the
Web/Internet color mode in ScanWizard EZ is 8-bit, 256 indexed color images.
Line Art
Line Art images are made up of one bit of color (black or white) per pixel. Few
editing options are available in this mode, but this mode is useful for images
consisting purely of black and white or even single colors, such as mechanical
drawings, blueprints, or fine-line illustrations.
