| − | ===Basic Settings===
| |
| − | #Image Capture will open in '''Detailed Mode.''' You can make adjustments to suit your needs. If you are unsure what to choose just use the default values that are already selected for you. Some possible options are:
| |
| − | *'''Scan Mode:''' Set to ''Flatbed'' for standard photos or documents. If you are scanning a color slide choose ''Transparency Positive'' or for film negatives use ''Transparency Negative''.
| |
| − | *'''Kind:''' Select if you would like your scan to be color, grayscale or black and white.
| |
| − | *'''Resolution:''' This is typically set to 300 DPI if you want to print out what you scanned in at the same size. If you are never going to print it out, this can be set to 72 DPI.
| |
| − | *'''Size:''' The size you would like your scan to end up being.
| |
| − | *'''Scan To:''' This is where you scan will be saved. You could save it in a folder on the computer, your home directory or even send it straight to iPhoto.
| |
| − | *'''Name:''' This will be the name of the file you are scanning to.
| |
| − | *'''Format:''' The file type you save your scan as. TIFF is a common option which is uncompressed. It gives the best quality, but takes up a lot of space. This is ideal for archiving. JPEG or PNG are other common options that yield a good quality picture, but have a smaller file size.
| |
| − | *'''Image Correction:''' Rejuvenates old photos by enhancing color and quality.
| |
| − | *'''Dust Removal:''' Removes dust marks on photos that are dirty.

| |

| |
