interpretation of the acronym is "Technology Without An Interesting
Name."

was photographed.
Unsharp Mask
Sharpens an image, like a photograph that is slightly out of focus, by
emphasizing the contrast to make outlines more clear.
USB
An abbreviation of Universal Serial Bus, an interface for external devices
connected to a computer and easilly used simply by plugging and
unplugging the USB cable while the computer is switched on.
White-point
The lightest portion of the image scanned as Color or Grayscale. When
you click on the image with the White-point eyedropper, all tones lighter
than the selected sample tone are adjusted to white.

there is no selection, the maximum horizontal output size, based on the
