If the image is too dark, set a higher brightness level and scan the document again. You can also type a value into the field to set the Brightness level.
- Contrast
- Increase or decrease the Contrast level by moving the slider to the right or left. An increase emphasises dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more details in grey areas. You can also type a value into the field to set the Contrast level.
