Glossary Top Page Glossary Contents Index Clear button The button that removes the current image from the Preview Area. Color Channels The red, green, or blue components of a color image. Color images contain 8 bits per pixel each for red, green, and blue channels, therefore each pixel has 24 bits. If you are scanning a color image, you can change the brightness and contrast of the individual red, green, and blue tones in your image. The Master channel is a combination of the three. Color Matching The range of colors your scanner can see may not match the range of colors your video monitor can produce. Color matching lets your system display colors so that the color on your monitor and printer matches the colors scanned. See also Canon ColorGear Color Matching. Color Mode The type of scan used to scan an image, differentiated by the number of bits per pixel. ScanGear CS-U has the following Color Modes: Color, Grayscale, Text Enhanced(OCR), and Black and White. Contrast Contrast refers to the difference between the lightest light and the darkest dark in the image. A low contrast value indicates that the difference between dark shades and light shades is not very great. A high value indicates a great difference between dark and light shades. While brightness refers to the intensity of tones in an image, contrast refers to the range and number of tones in an image. 92
