Descreen

Remove wavy patterns from magazines or newspapers. Many types of printed media are created using a screen printing process. Screen printing results in documents that are made up of many small dots that, when viewed from a distance, form the contents of the document. This screen printing pattern of dots is often exaggerated by scanning. The result is typically noticeable as a geometric pattern appearing in what should be solid colors. Descreening helps remove the screen printing pattern of dots. Choose from Photo, Text, Art Print, Magazine, Newspaper, or None.

Adjustments tab

Brightness

Adjust the lightness or darkness of your scan.

Contrast

Adjust the detailing and tone of the image as it is set off against a light or dark background. Increasing contrast makes light colors lighter and dark colors darker. Decreasing contrast flattens the light and dark colors to create a flushed image.

Gamma

Increase or decrease the color correction curve. Enabling gamma lets you adjust the amount of ink placed on the page. Decreasing the gamma causes more ink to be placed on the page and darkens your printed document. Increasing gamma causes less ink to be placed on the page and lightens your printed document.

Blur/Sharpen

Adjust the level of sharpness of the scanned image.

Fine Tune Rotation

Tilt your image 10 degrees to the left or right.

Invert Colors

Reverse the colors of your image by inverting the RGB data. The effect created is similar to that of a film negative.
