For B/W images, adjusting the brightness of a prescan image is actually setting a threshold for the scanner sensors to interpret the scanned data. Data above the threshold will be interpreted as the white area, while data below the threshold as the dark area. Contrast Contrast refers to the differences in the brightness between the light areas and the dark areas of an image. The larger the contrast value, the higher the differentiation between the light and the dark areas.
