Post Scanning Image Clean Up Options Notes: Not all options are available for every job. Document circumstances apply to all situations these are all available options. Options that are considered "included" in your base prices are labeled in RED. All the other options are additional charges.   Tif/pdf Splitting Split a multi-image tif or pdf file into single page graphic files. Tif/PDF Combine Combine graphics files into a multi-image tif or pdf file. Cropping Automatic cropping - Software analyzes removes unwanted thick white or black borders around the documents. Manual cropping - Operator manually selects an area of a document to crop to. Very rare and labor intensive. Rotation Automatic rotation - Software analyzes an image and attempts recognize the orientation of the image and adjust it to the proper orientation. (Complex documents can cause the program to make a mistake and over rotate or miss a document that needs rotated it isn't 100% perfect all the time.) Manual Rotation - All images in a batch can be rotated in any orientation. Deskew Skew refers to how much rotation the text has in relation to a horizontal reference line. An image that is not perfectly square is consider "skewed." Very important for .pdf conversion. Deskewed images often compress up to 25% smaller after processing. Noise removal (despeckling) Removes random flecks of noise from the image without degrading the text. Character Smoothing Smoothing allows you to adjust blocks of characters (pixels, actually). Using this you can bring out faint text, de-emphasize bold text, join dot matrix text into something readable by an OCR engine, and smooth out the edges of jagged text. Invert Color Inverting reverses the colors of the entire image, going from white on black to black on white or vice versa. It is useful when trying to process images that were scanned in reversed, or for generating reversed output. Flip Image Mirror the image Resizing "Stretch" or "shrink" images to a new size. Can cause loss of resolution.
