The image-correction tab displays the utility’s image-processing tools. Adjustments to
color, contrast, brightness, and saturation can be made as well as retouching physi-
cal imperfections in the film such as dust and scratches. This section contains details
on the basic image-processing tools. For descriptions of the advanced tools, see
pages 42 though 57.
The prescan image or a selected index image can be displayed in the correction win-
dow by simple clicking the image-correction tab. If the image has not been pres-
canned, a prescan will be made automatically.
Variation palette
The variation palette allows an image to be corrected by comparing it to other slight-
ly corrected images surrounding it. This is an easy method to correct images for indi-
viduals who are inexperienced in image processing or photofinishing.
Click the variation button to display the palette.
Click the arrow next to the variation list box (1) to select the image quality to be cor-
rected: color balance, brightness and contrast, or saturation. Each variation palette
shows the current image in the center with corrected sample images displayed
around it.

Click the best image among the frames (2). The selected image becomes the new
center surrounded by a set of new images and the change is applied to the prescan
image. This procedure can be repeated until the desired correction is obtained. Click
the reset button to cancel all changes.
The difference between the images can be changed. Drag the variation-step slider,
or enter a value into the text box to set the degree of correction. The initial setting is
10. The correction step can be set between 1 and 20.
Checking the display-limit check box will indicate when any of the image values
exceed 0 (black limit) or 255 (white limit) with the complementary color. For exam-
ple, if the blue area of the image exceeds those values, the limit is displayed with
the complementary color, yellow.
Click the close button to close the palette and apply any image corrections.
The utility window can be resized by clicking and dragging the bottom right corner. If
the fit-to-window function is active, the displayed image will automatically adjust to fit
the display area. If any changes are made to the image, the image-correction tab will
turn red (Windows) or an asterisk will be displayed on the tab (Macintosh).
