STEP 4 Auto Tone Correction (ColorSync™) If you scan an image in 24-bit color with ColorSyncTM selected, you can adjust the color automatically. The ColorSync™ function automatically matches the tones produced and displayed by scanners, displays and color printers. Optimal color correction is achieved with ease without having to make adjustments with the histogram or other color correction functions. Caution • This feature is available only when the scan mode is set to 24-bit color, not for 36-bit color, grayscale, or black and white. • More time is required to start the program and scan when the ColorSync™ function is activated. Hint • ColorSync™ responds differently to each computer according to the unique conditions affecting it (type of display used, etc.), which may cause differences even between computers of the same make and system version. The tone characteristics of an image scanned with ColorSync™ on one computer, therefore, may change when processed on another computer. • Color correction using the histogram function and gamma value settings cannot be conducted when the ColorSync™ function is activated. To Activate the ColorSync™ Function Open the [Image] menu and select [ColorSync]. Color is adjusted automatically to the optimum settings. The automatic setting may require a few seconds to activate. When ColorSyncTM is on, you will see it checked in the menu. To switch ColorSyncTM off, open the [Image] menu and select it again to remove the check mark. 53 53
