Scanning Skills


Controlling The Data Size

Once encountering large data size problem, try the followings:

  1. Scan at a lower resolution.
  2. Set a smaller and more precise scanning area that trims dummy data.
  3. Scan according to the performance of your output device.
  4. Use application software  to lower resolution and gray levels of your scanned images before saving.
  5. Use compression to save files. For example, TIFF file format contains compression schemes that are effective in reducing data size.

Using "Preview" Function

You can set the scanning area more easily on a whole image to be scanned by "preview function". Analytical data,by which Miraphoto can adjust the image type and  scanning area automatically , realize the histogram analysis and other functions,are extracted from preview data. Moreover, with the MiraPhoto driver, you can preview  effects of parameter changes  on the images.

Using the "Zoom" function

You can take a close-up look at the scanning area with the zoom function. You can adjust the scanning image and scanning area accurately  by using "zoom" function repeatedly.

Adjustments of Parametres

You can adjust  scanning parameters including resolution, scaling, brightness, contrast, color, tone map, mirror effect and inverse effect before scanning. You can    preview effects of parameter changes on the scanning images instantly with MiraPhoto driver.

Using "Push Model"
