INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Overview
This chapter provides:
• Overview of the EverSmart Jazz scanners
• Main operational features
The EverSmart Jazz scanners are tabletop scanners for producing
high quality color separations. The EverSmart Jazz scanners are
designed for maximum input flexibility, enabling you to scan the
following:
• Various types of originals: color transparencies and reflectives,
positives, negatives, black and white, and line-art.
• High resolution line-art scan, required for printers, packaging
and Kanji script applications.
• A moiré elimination feature allows scanning printed material.
• Original size ranges from 35 mm up to 305x432 mm (12"x17").
• Unlimited thickness of reflectives and up to 5mm (3/16")
thickness of transparencies.
The EverSmart Jazz scanners are operated by a Power Macintosh
PCI and incorporates XY stitch scanning technology. XY is the two
dimensional movement of the scanner head, and automatic
positioning of the scanner head for optimal scanning. This
technology enables: maximum uniform quality over the entire
scanner board; maximum scale and resolution for all original sizes;
the scanning of large originals and large crops in high scale values;
and high resolution line-art scanning for the entire board as, for
example, scanning a 4x5" transparency at 2540% with the
EverSmart Jazz+. Another example is the ability to obtain uniform
resolution and quality when images are placed at the edges and in
the center of the board.
Overview
1.1

Optical settings and machine calibrations are handled by the
scanner.
The intuitive, workflow-oriented user interface is designed for easy
usage. The scanner has built-in automatic features for optimal
scanning results. The interface enables multi-level image editing,
ranging from automatic scanning to professional scanning controls.
Image editing is performed on the low resolution preview; changes
are applied to the final high resolution scan.
The EverSmart Jazz scanners offer enhanced productivity, and
extended functionality when using the image editing tools.
Note: Throughout this manual, all descriptions apply to both EverSmart Jazz and
EverSmart Jazz+ scanners. Features that are unique to one of the scanners, are specified
as such.
Operating the EverSmart Jazz scanners require:
• Power Macintosh with PCI bus.
• CD drive (required for software installation).
• The software requires 64 MB RAM for the scanning application,
not including memory needed for the system and other
applications you wish to work with.
• At least 1 GB of free hard disk space. However, we recommend
that you install a much larger hard disk.
• Color monitor of at least 17" (21" is recommended), with a
display capability of millions of colors (24-bit color).
• Macintosh system version 8.5 or higher (full system including
all system extensions).

advanced level offers basic image editing, including color
correction and sharpness tools.
The user interface includes elements such as Layout display for
defining the scan area before preview, Image display window for
interactive image editing, Preview Browser for controlling the
operation stage, Queue Manager and palettes for selecting
functions.
• Multi-preview
To enhance scanner efficiency and productivity, several
originals may be mounted, edited and scanned in a single run.
• Multi-crop
Multi-crop enables defining and editing many crops on a single
image. Each crop can be edited and prescanned separately.
1.4
• Main editing functions
• Tone Reproduction functions for editing the tonal range of
the image.
• Color Correction enables intuitive HSL as well as CMYK
color corrections. The range of colors to be affected by your
changes may be controlled.
• Interactive sharpness editing on the max detail image (in the
final scan resolution). This saves post-processing and
rescanning time.
Introduction

INTRODUCTION
• Tools when editing preview
• Image update when applying changes in interactive
functions.
• Split screen to compare the before/after display after image
update.
• Floating densitometer to measure the color at the pointer’s
position on the image.
• The Sample points function for measuring sample points.
• Scitex Screen Match to see the final output colors on screen.
• Output formats
The high resolution final scan file is stored on the computer
hard disk or scanned directly to a server. A wide range of file
formats is available, such as Scitex CT, TIFF and EPS. The
format should suit the application you intend to use.

failure. In this case, do the following:
➤ Turn the scanner off and on again.
➤ If the LED is still red, call your Service engineer.
Shutdown is performed by quitting the application and then
switching off the Main Power switch.
2.2
Preparation

Mounting Originals
✎ Before mounting an original,
make sure the Base glass, Top glass
and originals are clean.
Direct Mount
This section describes the various methods for mounting originals
in the scanner.
Methods for mounting originals:
• Mounting originals directly in the scanner
• Using user defined masks
• Using 35mm slide holders
Originals are mounted in the scanner by placing them directly on
the Base glass. You can mount one original for single preview or
several originals for multi-preview.
PREPARATION
✎ When scanning a thick reflective,
such as a book, it is possible to scan with
the Top door open.
For single preview:
➤ Tape the original to the Base glass, placing the top right corner of
the original near the 0,0 corner of the glass (lower right corner).
For transparency, place with emulsion side down; for reflective,
place with image side down.
➤ It is recommended that if your original is a non-standard format,
you should note the size of the original by checking the vertical
and horizontal scales of the glass, and write it down. It is
important to know the size when using the Layout display
window to modify the scan area. See Chapter 4, Basic Scan,
Setup mode.
Note: For standard formats, such as 6x6cm or 4x5”, this is unnecessary.
For multi-preview:
In multi-preview, all originals are taped to the Base glass and scanned
in a single run. The originals must be of the same type
(transparency or reflective), but may be of different sizes and media
(positive and negative).
➤ Tape the first original near the 0,0 corner of the glass, same as
for single preview (see above).
➤ Tape the other originals proceeding toward the lower left corner
of the Base glass, making sure the originals do not overlap. If
necessary, continue to the next row. It is recommended to place
the originals in an orderly way, and not to spread them
randomly over the board.
Mounting Originals 2.3

➤ If you intend to use the Layout display window, you should note
the total size of the area occupied by the originals by checking
the vertical and horizontal scales of the glass. See Chapter 4,
Basic Scan, Setup mode.
The figure below shows direct mount of multi- previews.
User Defined Mask
2.4
The originals are placed on masks which are then mounted on the
Base glass. Your scanner is supplied with several identical User
defined masks, suitable for transparency and reflective originals.
Working with the scanner is more convenient and productive with
the User defined mask, therefore using these masks is recommended.
The advantages of using a user defined mask include:
• Preparing the originals in advance on a different worktable,
while the scanner is busy with other scans.
• Easier positioning of the originals using the mask grid lines.
• The Base glass is kept clean (no tape marks).
• Defining multi-preview custom made formats. The defined
user formats will appear in the Format list of the application.
After preview, each image is displayed as a separate preview.
Preparation

Working with user defined masks includes:
• Preparing the mask
• Defining user formats
• Using user formats
Preparing the mask
The User defined mask is an A3 (11x17”) opaque sheet; one side of
the mask is for transparency, the other for reflective (as labeled on
the mask). A set of barcode windows appears at one edge; the first
and last barcode windows are always open.
PREPARATION
For transparency:
➤ Mark outlines of the originals on the transparency side of the
mask, according to the format you want to define. The
procedure for preparing the outlines is similar to direct
mounting in multi-preview (see Direct Mount, Multi-preview,
above). The first original outline should be near the 1,0 point at
the lower right corner of the mask.
➤ Use a sharp knife to cut out a window for each original. Make
sure not to cut the mask barcodes.

Preparation

For reflective:
➤ Tape the reflectives to the reflective side of the mask, according
to the format you want to define. Make sure the image side is
up and in the correct orientation.
The first original should be near the 0,0 point at the lower left
corner of the mask. Taping the originals is similar to direct
mounting in multi-preview (see Direct Mount in multi-preview,
above), but here you proceed from left to right. Make sure not to
cover the barcode windows.
PREPARATION
✎ The 0,0 corner of the mask is
approximately above the 0,0 corner of
the Base glass.
➤ To mount in the scanner, turn the mask over so that the
transparency label of the mask faces up; insert the mask
registration holes into the registration pins of the glass.

Setup Mode 4.5

Smooth
In some cases, a certain amount of smoothening is required:
• The dot pattern might be visible in printed material.
Descreening blurs the dot pattern without degrading the
image.
• Lines might appear with jagged edges. Anti-alias minimizes
the pixel contrast at the edges, causing them to be smoother and
blend in the background. It can also remove unwanted moiré.
Smooth options include:
• None, no smoothening effect.
• Descreen1 to Descreen10, descreening levels for printed
material (see Chapter 8, Special Workflows, Printed Material).
• Anti-alias normal, Anti-alias strong, two levels of anti-alias for
lines.
The effect of smooth can be seen in the final scan or in max detail
(see Chapter 7, Sharpness, Interactive Sharpness Editing).
Unit of Measurement
Choose inches, mm, points or picas as the unit of measurement for
the Crop Height/Width and Scan Height/Width fields.
Scale
Sets the enlargement by which the scanner scans the original.
A scale of 100% means no change.
The Scale and Resolution values are related.
For the EverSmart Jazz, the maximum scale/resolution for all
formats is 2000% at 12 DPM (300 DPI).
For the EverSmart Jazz+, the maximum scale/resolution for all
formats is 2540% at 12 DPM (300 DPI).

Mirror
Check the Mirror box to create a mirror image of the scanned
original. Note: When mounting a duplicate, place it emulsion side down and use
Mirror to obtain a correct image
Resolution
Resolution specifies the number of dots (pixels) per millimeter or
inch of the final image, and is related to the halftone screen.
When setting the resolution, you should consider the screen.
For higher or finer screens, the resolution value should be higher to
capture the additional information.
The minimum output resolution is 2 DPM (51 DPI).
Resolution and Scale are related, as explained in Scale, above.
For the EverSmart Jazz, the maximum resolution for all formats is
236 DPM (6000 DPI). For the EverSmart Jazz+, the maximum
resolution for all formats is 300 DPM (7620 DPI).
A rule of thumb formula, commonly used to determine the final
resolution, is as follows:
Halftone screen per inch (or per mm) x 2.0 = resolution in dots per inch (DPI) or
per mm (DPM).
For example, an image to be output as an 150 LPI halftone is calculated: 150 x 2.0 = 300
DPI. Therefore, the resolution is set at 300 DPI.
Choose DPM (dots per millimeter) or DPI (dots per inch) as the
resolution unit of measurement, and enter the requested resolution
value.
End Points, Gradation, Color Table and Sharpness
Make sure the End Points are set to AutoNormal, and the
Gradation, Color Table and Sharpness are set to their default tables.
Note: Filmtype appears only for color negatives. See Chapter 8, Special Workflows, Color
Negatives.

SmartSet
You can choose from among several, pre-defined SmartSet tables
that are related to certain subjects, and can be applied to scans.
Each SmartSet table is constructed to accommodate a broad range
of variables within a general subject matter. Every SmartSet table is
comprised of several different tables that normally would have to
be loaded manually.
SmartSet Tables:
• End Points
• Gradation
• Color
• Sharpness
• Filmtype
Note: Filmtype appears only for color negatives. See Chapter 8, Special Workflows, Color
Negatives.
SmartSet in the Setup window
Make your selection in SmartSet according to the main subject of
your scan. The application loads an appropriate group of tables.
You can define a new SmartSet by loading different tables. The
SmartSet name changes to Custom, and then you can save the
new SmartSet with a name you choose.
You can also customize additional tables according to your own
requirements and save them for later use.
To save a SmartSet, you must save any table that is labeled Custom
with a new name. In other words, you cannot save a SmartSet with
a table labeled Custom.
The SmartSet tables can incorporate any of the application features
that are described in Chapters 5, 6 and 7.

Layout Display
The Layout display reflects the selected Format option (see Format
previously). You can use the Layout display to modify the scan area
before preview. In some cases, this can reduce the scan time, and the
displayed preview image is larger. The Layout display is useful in
the following cases:
• When the mounted originals are not according to pre-defined
formats, which include the standard application formats and
created user defined formats.
• In multi-preview formats, when you want to scan only some of
the originals.
To use the Layout display:
✎ The Layout display automatically
appears if you checked the Open
Layout Display after Restart in
Operation Modes, under the Setup
menu.
➤ After selecting a Format option, click the Layout display icon in
the Windows palette. The Layout display appears, showing the
Base glass and a window(s) representing the selected format.
➤ In single preview formats, you can change the scan area size: click
and drag one of the window corners (marked by an arrow);
release to define a new window. This window marks the
effective scan area, and/or:
Change the scan area location: click inside the window and
move it to the desired location.
Note: Since the Layout display does not show the mounted originals, it is helpful to
note and write down the size and location when mounting the originals in the scanner
(see Chapter 2, Preparation, Mounting Originals).
➤ In multi-preview formats, e.g., 35mm slide holder, select the
windows you want to scan by clicking each window while
pressing , or encompassing the required windows with
a rectangle while holding down and dragging the mouse
button.

Crop and Multi-Crop
✎ If the crop extends beyond the
display area boundaries, the extended
area is scanned in black.
When the Preview is first displayed, the Full image crop is defined,
enclosing the entire image. The system assigns a default name
Scan_X_1 to this crop, where X is the Preview number. You can
modify the crop and create additional crops.
Cropping the Preview
➤ You can modify the Full image crop, decrease its size or move it
to a different location (see Chapter 3, Tools & Palettes, Tools &
Display Options).
➤ To define a new crop, use the cropping tools (see the reference
above) or enter new Crop Height/ Width values.
Note: The Full image crop no longer exists after it is modified or a new crop is created.
If you change the Crop Height/Width proportionally, using the
key, the Scale value changes but the Scan Height/Width
remain constant.
If you change Scale, the Crop Height/Width or Scan Height/Width
change accordingly, depending on which was modified last.
A Warning icon appears in the Setup dialog box if the scan cannot
be performed according to the defined settings, because these
settings exceed the scanner limitations. For example:
• Crop is too small (less than 65 pixels in the output width).
• More than 32,000 pixels in the output width, and 65,000 in the
output height.
• Scale is higher than the maximum value; in resolution 12 DPM

In this chapter you will learn about the Tone Reproduction functions and
performing image tonal changes, including:
• Change the White and Dark points
• Adjust exposure
• Remove unwanted color cast
• Adjust contrast
• Adjust brightness
• Adjust color balance
The Tone Reproduction function includes two main functions:
• End Points, for defining the effective density range of the
original and removing color cast.
• Gradation, for further tonal adjustment (brightness and
contrast) and for color balance.
End Points
Selecting End Points Tables
This section describes the End Points function. During Preview, the
scanner performs an image analysis of each crop and automatically
selects the White and Dark points. The White point is the whitest
neutral point in the image with detail; the Dark point is the darkest
neutral point in the image with detail. End points editing can be
performed after Preview.
The End Points field, in the Setup dialog box, shows the active End
Points table. Several tables are supplied with the application.
Two file types are listed in the End Points pop-up: one with the
prefix Auto_ and the other with the prefix Fixed-_.
• If you select a file with the prefix Auto_, the system selects
the white points and dark points from the image. To create an
Auto_table, use Auto Image Analysis. (see page 5-9)
• If you select a table with the Fixed-_prefix, the system selects
white points and dark points with fixed values, and Image
Analysis is ignored. You can save a Fixed-_table in the End
Points Correction Tool dialog box.

This chapter is about the color and gray controls, including:
• Selecting and applying Color tables
• Color Correction; includes intuitive HSL and CMYK controls
for performing color corrections. You can control the range of
colors that will be affected.
• Gray Control; modifies the gray balance by changing the
CMYK values of the grays.
• Input Gray Levels; modifies the RGB values of the White/Dark
points and midtone of the Color table (LUT), thus changing
its contrast.
• Separation setup; includes the UCR/GCR/UCA functions.
Selecting Color Tables
✎ It is recommended to prepare a
backup of the Color tables folder.
The application contains five default Color tables. These tables are
automatically loaded, and used for different Type, Mode and
Media options. You can select and apply another table.
Default Color tables include:
• POS_Default@
• NEG_Default@
• REF_Default@
• BW_Default@
• LW_Default@
In addition, you are provided with a set of Color tables for each
mode. These tables are designed to meet various user preferences
and printing conditions.
➤ To apply a Color table, select the requested table from the Color
table list in the Setup dialog box.
➤ Click Apply to update the image with the new Color table.
Selecting Color Tables
6.1

To find the best Color table for your needs:
• Scan a color transparency with several possible Color tables.
• Prepare color proofs.
• Compare the color proofs to choose the best Color table.
Color Correction
The Color Correction function enables you to change the colors of
an image. The requested color is selected from the image, and
changed using the HSL and CMYK controls. When one of the
controls (HSL or CMYK) is modified, the other control is
automatically updated. In addition, you can control the range of
your color correction.
➤ Click the Color Correction icon in the Image palette, or choose
Color Correction from the Image menu in the Menu bar. The
Color Correction dialog box appears. Note: The HSL color palette in the
dialog box is empty until you select a color.
The Color Correction dialog box has two tabs, Selective and Global.
• Selective provides a good solution for most situations. You can
pick and choose specific colors from the image that you can
change in a highly selective manner.
• Global offers a choice of preset color ranges that are depicted by
color-coded buttons. Each of the buttons represents a specific
color group. For example, if you press the green button and you
make a change, all the greens will be affected. Global is used to
correct color in a broad and general way.

HSL color palette
This section includes the HSL color controls (from right to left):
• Basic hue control. The white frame marks the area with the hues
that are closest to the selected color; this area is enlarged in the
Fine hue control (see below). The selected color is located in the
middle of the frame area. The colors shown in this slider reflect
only hue changes (saturation and luminance are fixed). This
control is used for major interactive hue changes.
6.4
Color

COLOR
• Fine hue control is a magnification of the hue area of the selected
color (the area framed in the Basic hue control). The colors in this
control reflect hue, saturation and luminance changes. This
control is used for fine interactive hue changes.
• H, S, L numeric input fields show the selected color values. This
control is used for fine numeric hue, saturation and luminance
changes.
• Luminance/Saturation control, where the luminance is the vertical
axis and the saturation is the horizontal axis. The small circle
marks the selected color. This control is used for interactive
saturation and luminance changes.
CMYK Controls
• CMYK before/after values. This control is used for fine numeric
CMYK changes. These changes affect the HSL controls.
• CMYK before/after color patches of the selected color (before
changes the before/after are identical). These patches reflect any
color change you perform.
The colors shown in the HSL and CMYK controls represent the
colors of the active Color table. Color corrections are performed by
modifying the above controls, as explained below.
! See Image Correction Examples,
Figs. 12, 13 & 14: Color corrections with
default range.
To perform Color corrections, use the following:
• Select Color Correction. The Color Correction window appears.
• Select either the Selective or the Global tab.
• In Selective, pick a color from the image.
• In Global, press one of the 7 color buttons.
• Change HSL values visually with the Basic hue, Fine hue and
Luminance/Saturation controls.
• Change HSL values numerically with the HSL numeric input
fields.
• Change CMYK values with the CMYK controls.

In some cases, a combination of the above controls is required to
achieve the desired result. When the HSL or CMYK controls are
modified, the other controls are updated accordingly.
➤ To perform major hue changes, move the frame of the Basic hue
control.
➤ To perform fine hue changes, move the marker of the Fine hue
control.
➤ To perform saturation and luminance changes, move the circle
of the Luminance/Saturation controls. Moving toward the right
increases saturation; moving downward increases luminance.
Note: For fine saturation/luminance changes use the numeric input fields (see below).
➤ Alternatively or in addition, you can enter new values in the
HSL numeric input fields. This method might be more suitable
for fine changes. Value ranges are:
Hue: 1 - 360; Saturation: 1 - 128; Luminance: 1 - 255.
➤ To change the CMYK values, enter new values in the After fields
or use the CMYK nudge buttons. The After color patch is
updated accordingly.
➤ You can use a combination of the above controls. You can also
change the Range option (as described below) while performing
your color corrections.
Range
The Range control defines, in HSL values, the effective range of your
color changes. In other words, it defines which hues, saturation/
luminance levels will be affected by your change. R_Default@ is the
default Range setting; additional settings are supplied for other
changes. To change the default range setting, choose one of the
supplied settings from the Range pop-up list.
You can also create custom made ranges by setting the Range
controls. Press the Range arrowto display the Range controls:

Global.
✔ Use the split screen feature to view
the image before/after changes.
To create custom made ranges:
If you cannot achieve the desired effect with the existing ranges,
you can create your own range settings. Since range is
independent, changing its controls does not affect the HSL/CMYK
controls.
➤ Set the Hue, Sat and/or Lum sliders, by moving one or both
controls of each slider you want to modify. When the two slider
controls are set closer together, the range effect is more limited.
Note: As you modify the HSL sliders, the Range field becomes Custom.
➤ Use the range Save button to save custom Range settings. The
saved file contains the offset values relative to the current
selected color. When a new color is selected, the saved relative
offsets are loaded and applied to the new color.
The effect of applied color changes depends on the scope of the
change and on the Range. For example, if you perform a major
change, but the Range is very limited, then your change will
mainly affect the selected color, but hardly affect other colors.

Gray Control
Gray balance is important for obtaining good printing results. This
requires that the gray balance of the Color table match the gray
balance of your printing system. Gray Control modifies the gray
balance of the Color table by changing the CMY (output) values for
the grays. The values and shape of the black (K) curve are also
controlled. Changes affect the grays and unsaturated colors.
The grays are defined by several Control points: three main points,
and in the EverSmart Pro also four secondary ones. It is
recommended to have the values of the Control points of your
printing system when using Gray Control.
➤ From the Image menu in the Menu bar, choose Gray Control.
The Gray Control dialog box appears.
✎The Table field in the dialog box
lists the name of the active Color
table.
6.8
Color

COLOR
Gray Control includes the following:
• Separation curves of C, M, Y and K values along the gray axis
of the Color table. These curves change interactively as you edit
the Gray Control parameters.
• Mode determines the number of Control points you wish to edit.
Choose one of the following:
• 3-Points, includes the three main points (White point, Dark
point and midtone). Note: Black Start Pt, Black Contrast and CMY
Contrast are available only in this mode.
• More Points includes the three main points and four
secondary points.
In 3-Points, the curves are always smooth; in More Points, the
curves may not be smooth. When changing to 3-Points, the curves
become smooth without affecting the White/Dark points and
midtone values.
• Black Start Pt [0 - 90]
In 3-Points only, this parameter sets the cyan value from which
black appears. For example, if Black Start Pt = 20, then for any gray point with
cyan value above 20, the black value is above 0.
• Black Contrast [-100, 100]
In 3-Points only, this parameter sets the rate of change of the
black separation along the gray axis. Positive/negative values
indicate an increasing/decreasing rate of change.
• CMY Contrast [-100, 100]
In 3-Points only, this parameter sets the rate of change of the
CMY separations along the gray axis. Positive/negative values
indicate an increasing/decreasing rate of change.
• Effective Range [0 - 100]
Determines the effect of changes on other colors of the Color
table. The higher the range value, the more saturated colors are
affected. For range = 0 (min.), only the grays are affected. For
range = 100 (max.), all colors are affected.
Gray Control 6.9

• CMYK values of Control points
The number of active Control points depends on selected Mode
option. The CMYK values of the control point affect the gray
control curves.
✎ More Points option is

➤ Check the requested CMYK values of the Control point and edit
them. For a correct gray balance, you should enter the values of
your printing system.
➤ Select and edit additional Control points, as necessary.
➤ Verify the Effective Range value.
➤ For 3-Points only, you can define the Black Start Pt value and

Input Gray Levels
Input Gray Levels controls the number of gray levels below and
above the White and Dark points, and affects the Color table
contrast.
The grays are arranged on the RGB axis, ranging from 0 to 255.
Editing the RGB values of the White and Dark points changes their
position on this axis, thus affecting the number of gray levels below
the White point and above the Dark point.
The range between the White and Dark points is divided by the
midtone into highlights and shadows. Therefore, changing the
RGB value of the midtone affects the Color table contrast.
This function is useful in special cases, when the required amount
of gray levels beyond the end points is non-standard.
For example, for reflectives that do not have values brighter than the paper base, where the
current White point values may be 3%C, 2%M, 2%Y and 0%K, move the White point slider
until the values in the White point After fields are 0,0,0,0.

Separation Setup
Separation Setup includes the UCR, GCR and UCA functions.
When cyan, magenta and yellow separations are printed, the two
significant colors of CMY determine the hue, that is, the basic color,
such as red, blue, etc. The least significant color of CMY determines
the saturation or grayness; it does not add color. In other words, at
certain values of CMY, the cyan, magenta and yellow separations
contain gray. Therefore, we can substitute percentages of black for
the three process colors.
The UCR/GCR/UCA functions are non-interactive, that is, you can
see the results only in the final scan, not on display. However, the
densitometer values reflect these functions.
UCR (Under Color Removal)
UCR replaces a certain amount of CMY with black, and affects
mainly the neutral (gray) colors of the Color table.
GCR (Gray Component Replacement)
GCR performs the same function as UCR, but affects most of the
colors (neutrals and colors) of the Color table. Saturated colors are
not affected.
The gray component in all colors is calculated and replaced with
black. That is, a certain amount of the process color (C, M or Y)
that has the gray component is replaced with black. As a result,
although all three process inks are used, lower values of CMY and
higher value of black are required.
✎ If UCR, GCR and/or UCA are
selected, a U or G and/or A appears
in the Image display window.
UCA (Under Color Addition)
Using UCR/GCR can cause some loss of density and contrast in
the shadows. UCA compensates for this loss by adding some of
the color that was removed in UCR or GCR.
UCA can also be used to change the color balance in the shadows.

UCR/GCR Advantages
• Better color saturation
• Sharper reproduction due to detail in black separation
• Vivid colors even on poor quality paper
• Reduction in the consumption of expensive CMY inks

parameters described below (the densitometer values also reflect
these parameters).
Note: These parameters are inactive if Off is selected in the Separation Setup dialog box.
Black Start Point [0 - 90]
The cyan value that is the starting point of UCR/GCR. From this
point onward, the gray component is replaced by black.
The higher this value, the less effect UCR/GCR will have.
Maximum Black [0 - 100]
The maximum percentage of black in the Dark point.

affected by the UCA function.
! See Image Correction Examples,
Fig. 22: Using GCR with UCA.
Strength
The strength of the UCA effect. If set at 100, UCA has maximum
effect, thus canceling the entire effect of UCR/GCR. For low values
of strength, UCA has minimal effect.
Check the Extended option, if further fine-tuning is required (in
addition to the Strength value).
✎ UCA is defined for a particular
setting of UCR/GCR, so the UCR/GCR
parameters are grayed when UCA is
used. To modify UCR/GCR, you must
first uncheck UCA.
In the UCA Extended field, set the CMYK values of the Dark point.

SHARPNESS
Overview
This chapter describes:
• the Sharpness function
• the Sharpness controls
• editing Sharpness
During the scanning and printing processes, the picture sharpness
is decreased. The Sharpness function compensates for this
sharpness loss. Sharpness is applied automatically by the scanner,
and can also be adjusted by the user.
The scanner increases the picture sharpness by comparing the light
intensity of each pixel to the light intensity of its surrounding area:
• If the pixel is darker than the surrounding pixels, the scanner
darkens it more to achieve a sharper contrast.
• If the pixel is lighter than the surrounding pixels, the scanner
lightens it more to achieve a sharper contrast.
• If the light intensity of the pixel is the same as that of the
surrounding pixels, no action is taken.
Sharpening affects the borders between adjoining areas of different
brightness. After sharpening, a thin outline (contour) composed of
a light and dark strip emphasizes the border between the lighter
and darker areas. The figure below shows the results of
sharpening.

Figs. 27 & 28: Changing the Filter
control.

Figs. 29 & 30: Changing the Radius
control.
Filter
Filter defines the color channel used as a reference for image
sharpening. In single color filters, the RGB channels are sharpened
according to the brightness variation of the single channel.
Therefore, the colors are not sharpened in the same degree.
In Green, sharpening is according to the green channel variations;
the red and blue channels are modified accordingly.
In Red-Green, the red and green channels are sharpened, each
according to its variation, and the blue channel is sharpened
according to the green channel.
In All, all colors are sharpened in a balanced form, since each
channel is sharpened according to its brightness variation.
Radius
Radius defines the thickness of the contour produced by
sharpness. The higher the radius, the thicker the contour. Radius
ranges from 2 for thin contours to 7 for thick contours. The
selected Radius affects the active Effect options (see Effect below).
Effect
Defines the sharpening effect on the texture. There are a total of
five Effect levels, but the active options depend on the Radius
selected previously.
In Harsh, the sharpening enhances small texture details.
In Smooth, the sharpening shows only large details. Intermediate
options are Harsh-Med, Medium and Med-Smooth.
Intensity
Determines the extent of the contours, produced by the Sharpness
function, relative to the background. Intensity is set separately for
the highlights and the shadows:
• Hlt for white contour
• Shd for dark contour
7.4
Sharpness

Intensity ranges from 0 - No Sharp to 10 - Max Sharp. The higher
the value, the stronger the contour. That is, a larger difference
between the contour and background. In Hlt = 0 and Shd = 0 there
is no sharpening.
Grain
Grain is seen in the image when the emulsion particles of the film
are visible at certain enlargements.
The Grain control reduces the grain sharpness, that is, pixels
within the grain are sharpened less than the rest of the picture. The
surface then appears smoother and more even. Grain includes two
separate controls, each ranging from 0 to 10:
SHARPNESS
✎ A high Grain value might decrease
the global sharpness.
Threshold
Value
Amount of pixel variation in the background,
below which the effect is considered grain, and
above which it is considered texture or edge. The
higher the threshold, the larger the differences that
are considered grain.
Amount of sharpness reduction performed on the
area that is considered grain, relative to the
background. The higher the value, the more
reduction performed.
! See Image Correction Examples,
Figs. 31 & 32: Changing the Clip
control.
Clip
A certain combination of two colors, such as blue and brown and a
particular Filter, can create a noticeable contour. Clip can reduce
these contours. In other words, Clip limits the extreme levels of
brightness or darkness of contours produced in strong levels of
Intensity. The extent of clipping is set separately for the highlights
and shadows, thereby enabling independent reduction of the bright
and dark contours.
Clip ranges from 0 - No Effect to 10 - Full Effect (no sharpening).

Editing Current Scan
Editing Sharpness in current scan is one of the methods for editing
sharpness (Sharp Setup is the second method, see further on).
Editing sharpness for current scan includes:
• Applying Sharpness tables
• Interactive sharpness editing
Applying Sharpness
Tables
Interactive Sharpness
Editing
Sharpness is applied to the image using Sharpness tables. Several
such tables are supplied with the application and S_Default@ is
the default table. Additional tables, based on the default table,
provide different effects. For example, smoother or sharper effects.
Each scanner type, EverSmart Jazz and EverSmart Jazz+, has its own
unique set of tables.
To apply another Sharpness table to the active displayed crop:
➤ In the Setup dialog box, open the Sharpness pop-up list and
choose one of the listed tables. If you did not create Sharpness
tables, only the supplied ones are available.
➤ Click Apply to update the image.
After Preview, you can edit the active Sharpness table. Changes
apply to current scan only, that is, to the current Format, Media and
Scale. Interactive sharpness editing is possible only in Max Detail,
so you should first perform a max detail prescan. In addition, you
can see the effects of smoothening (descreening and anti-alias) on
the max detail display.

Effects of Smooth
In some cases, when a certain amount of digital descreening is
required, Smooth may be used. The jagged edges of lines are
smoothened, and the dot pattern in printed material is blurred. The
unwanted effects of moiré are also reduced.
The effects of smooth can be viewed on the max detail image.
Printed material is described in Chapter 8, Special Workflows, Printed
Material. The following describes the use of smooth for jagged
edges in lines.
➤ If required, choose Anti-alias norm or Anti-alias strong from

Scanning negative originals requires special considerations because
negatives have a built-in orange color layer, and the tones and
colors are reversed. For example, light areas appear dark and red
appears cyan.
Negative Balance is a function designed specifically for color
negatives. During preview or final scan, the scanner automatically
adjusts the color balancing according to the film type. See details
below.

such as multi media and CBT (Computer Based Training).
• Second generation slides
In second generation applications, the scan results serve as data
for film recorders that receive RGB data and produce color
slides or negatives.
• Repurposing and Archiving
For saving information of the original in digital format. The
data is processed later, according to the specific final usage.
Specific settings and options in RGB scan

SPECIAL WORKFLOWS

Oil Mounting
An optional Oil Mounting Kit is available and this section
describes the oil mounting procedure for transparencies.
Oil is generally not required when using the scanner, because the
glass has special treatment that usually eliminates Newton rings.
However, the slide surface when viewed through a microscope is
not perfectly smooth. In most cases, the imperfect slide surface can
be ignored. In cases where this factor cannot be ignored, oil is
used to improve the quality of the original. In addition, slides may
have scratches that cannot be ignored.
You might consider oil mounting in the following cases:
• In top quality scans, when the enlargement is above 800%.
In this case, "craters" that normally exist on the slide surface
appear as noise.
• When the slide is scratched.
The oil fills the "craters" and scratches, thus providing a smooth
surface. Oil mounting is suitable for all transparency formats,
including the user defined mask.
Oil mounting requires the following:
• Any commercial scanning oil or gel.
• A clear piece of transparent film (Maylar) that is larger than the
original. In multi preview, the film should be larger than the
total size of the originals. You must use a specially designed
film; do not use plotter film.
• Transparent adhesive tape.
8.6
Special Workflows

Oil Mounting Procedure
➤ Place the transparency, emulsion side down, on the Base glass
(similar to the standard mounting procedure).
➤ Place the clear film on the transparency. Secure one side with
tape (the original should be on the glass and the film on top).
➤ Lift one edge of the transparency/film. Deposit a drop of oil on
the glass (under the transparency), and deposit another drop of
oil on the transparency (under the film).
➤ Using a cloth or tissue paper, smooth over the film to spread the
oil evenly, covering the entire transparency. Eliminate trapped
air bubbles.
➤ Using tape, seal on all sides to prevent excess oil stains.

Line-art options in Setup mode
➤ In the Setup dialog box, choose Line-art mode.
➤ From the Format pop-up list, choose your format:
for transparency, choose 8x10H, 8x10V, or All board.
for reflective, choose A4H,A4V,or All board-A3.
Line-art controls include:
• Threshold value; based on the crop analysis, the application
automatically defines the Threshold value and sets it at 50. The
Threshold controls the distinction between the line-art image and
its background. You can change the threshold, as described
below (it is recommended to set the threshold in Max detail).
• Filter; choose a filter to be used in the scan. For B/W originals,
choose the green filter. For Color originals, choose the filter
according to the colors you want to eliminate or emphasize. To
eliminate a color, choose that filter (for example, to eliminate
blue grids, choose the blue filter). To emphasize a color, choose
another filter (for example, to emphasize red, choose the green
or blue filters).

one format - Line-art for the entire scale range, and only one
sharpness control may be edited (see Intensity, below).
SPECIAL WORKFLOWS
✎ This dialog box is accessed
from Sharp Setup.
Intensity
Intensity is the only sharpness control in Line-art mode. It

Printed Material
! See Image Correction Examples,
Figs. 33 & 34: The dot pattern is blurred
when using descreening.
When you scan printed material, the printing dots pattern is
sharpened thus creating unwanted effects called moiré. A slight
amount of optical descreening can solve this problem, by forcing
the optics to move away from the focal plane, thus blurring the dot
pattern without degrading the picture.
Smooth - Descreening
Descreening controls the level of defocus to be effective during the
scan. The results can be viewed in max detail prescan or in the final
scan.
➤ Choose a value from the Smooth pop-up list: Screen1 (very weak
blurring) to Screen10 (very strong blurring). In None,
descreening is inactive.
The required descreening level is a function of the screen ruling
of the original. For low screen ruling (such as 80 LPI), more
descreening is required (value 6 or 7). For high screen ruling
(such as 150 LPI), less descreening is required (value 3 or 4).
➤ Perform a max detail prescan (max detail is described in
Chapter 7, Sharpness, Sharpness Editing).
When a max detail prescan with descreening is completed, the
queue is suspended. This enables you to immediately repeat the
max detail with a new descreening value, if so required.
➤ To repeat the max detail, click Show in the Setup dialog box
(Show is available after changing the descreening value).
The system re-scans the same max detail area, using the new
descreening value, and the new max detail display replaces the
previous one.

ICC Profile
Color images generated or displayed by different devices may
show different colors. In a world of data communication, moving
colors from site to site in a consistent manner is becoming
imperative. Therefore, color management procedures and tools
that insure that colors look the same (or as close as possible) on
different devices are becoming essential.
ICC (International Color Consortium) is an international color
standards body. Scitex Corporation Ltd. is one of thirty members
of this body that includes companies such as Microsoft, Apple,
Adobe, Sunsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Kodak. This committee was
chartered to produce a standard color environment
characterization in the form of a color profile. The ICC profile is a
file written to a specific format, containing the color information of
a specific device.
The purpose of the profile is to map the color producing device in
any device-dependent-color-space (usually some form of RGB and
CMYK) into a standard color space. This mapping is the color
profile. When two or more such profiles get together, they are
combined into one device-to-device color transformation. The
resulting transformations are then used to transform the actual
image data.
Your scanning application is supplied with the ICC profile of your
scanner (for transparency and reflective). You can utilize the ICC
option during the preview and editing of a color image, and create
final scan files with embedded ICC profile.
Using ICC
Using the ICC option requires the following:
• Defining the ICC setup

Setup

Screen
Using Scitex Screen Match you can see on screen colors that closely
represent the colors of the final print or proof. To utilize the Scitex
Screen Match functionality, you must use the MatchBuilder
application. This application requires calibrating your screen
and creating transformation tables.
To use Screen Match:
➤ Perform the Screen Calibrate program and create Match tables, as
described in the MatchBuilder application readme file . You can
also use one of the supplied tables; the default table M_Default
and additional tables are supplied with your scanner application.
You can obtain good results using these tables, only if you
have a well calibrated monitor. Otherwise, you should use
MatchBuilder to create your own tables. Make sure that the
Screen Match tables are located in the Scitex Tables folder.
➤ From the General Preferences menu, choose Screen. The Screen
Match dialog box appears.
SETUP
➤ Check the Use Screen Match box to use Scitex Screen Match.
If the box is unchecked, the other parameters are grayed.
➤ Check the Use Gamma Compensation box. This option
compensates for the Gamma function of your screen
(compensate for differences between actual screen gamma
and default conditions).
➤ Choose a Screen Match table from the Match table list.

settings of the files. Density (or transfer function) settings allow
you to compensate for dot gain in an image. Dot gain is an
increase in density, and is measured as the density of light reflected
off an image. The dot gain compensation is based upon the ink
retention of the film/paper stock you are using.
The Transfer function files contain the different density settings of
an image. Density settings are classified as highlights, 1/4 tones,
midtones, 3/4 tones and shadows.
You should consult your print shop or print buyer to determine the
type of film/paper stock to be used, then set the appropriate
function accordingly.
