chapter 4 What is on the Screen? Top Page Glossary Contents Index Gamma Sheet When the Gamma button is clicked, the Gamma sheet is displayed. Gamma refers to a process where mid-tones are shifted so that the lighter colors are lightened and darker colors are darkened. For example, let us say you scanned a photograph of a subject in a boat in a tree-lined lake and the shadows of the trees are dark enough and the white of the boat is light enough, but the blue in the sky, the blue of the water, and the blue of the subject's clothing all look the same. By increasing the Scanner Gamma value of the image, the sky might become lighter and the water darker, giving a better contrast to the image. The Monitor Gamma value is a reciprocal number of the Scanner Gamma value. Channel If you want to select one of the primary colors (RGB) for adjusting the gamma value, click the Channel down-arrow and select the color or leave the settings at Master to adjust all the colors. 45
