On the [Color] tab, you can set preferences for brightness and tone of an image such as preferences for
adjusting brightness and contrast of the whole image, for making adjustments to match the brightness of
the monitor (gamma correction), for specifying highlights and shadows, and adjusting contrast and
balance in an image (with the histogram and tone curve).
The [Color] tab will be displayed when [Color (photo)], [Color (Documents)] or [Greyscale] is selected in
[Color Mode].
In [Black and White] mode, the [Color] tab will change to the [Halftone] tab but no tab will be displayed in
[Text Enhanced] mode or when [Canon ColorGear Color matching] is selected.
When you adjust settings on the [Color] tab, your changes will be immediately be reflected in the preview
image or in the scan.
To correct tone automatically
Specify the parameters of the adjustment and click [Apply] in [Auto tone].
The brightness of the image within the parameters you have specified will be automatically adjusted for
best results.
The results of color adjustment are reflected in the whole image and when the image is actually
scanned.
You cannot apply this setting if the preview image is not displayed.
The default setting is to automatically apply auto tone adjustment to the cropped image when
previewing the image. Consequently, when you preview the image, the [Apply] will not be available.
To view the preview image without auto tone adjustment, click [Reset]. The [Apply] will then become
available and you will be able to re-apply auto tone adjustment if required.
To save settings to a color adjustment file
Click (Save button).
If you intend to scan the same image several times, you can save the settings for use in future scans
with the same settings. The file suffix will be (.adc) for color and (.adg) for grayscale.
