You can improve and enhance the quality of your scanned images with this selection. The Reduce Noise setting is available when using 24bit Colour and scan resolutions of 300 x 300 dpi, 400 x 400 dpi or 600 x 600 dpi.

You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slide bar to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. You can also enter a value in the box to set the level.
