Advanced Properties - Picking Rectangle

Use the Picking Rectangle panel to select a portion of an image to be scanned or processed, effectively cropping out unwanted data.

The Picking Rectangle panel consists of two groups of settings: Front Side and Back Side. If a scanner supports duplex scanning, you can select picking rectangle settings for the front or the back side, or both. For simplex scanners, only the Front Side settings are available.

Use the Picking Rectangle panel to set the following:

• Unit of measurement to be used via the English (in) inches or Pixels options.

• Placement of the picking rectangle on the document; specifically, the distance from the top and left (offset) of the document edge using the up and down arrows or by entering the distance into the Top and Left text boxes.
• Width and height of the picking rectangle using the up and down arrows or by entering the picking rectangle dimensions into the appropriate text boxes.

If you select pixels to define the picking rectangle measurement, pixels are calculated as:

• Measurement in inches x dpi = Number of pixels

The picking rectangle dimensions are preserved, whether or not the dpi setting is changed in the scanning application.

After deskew, crop, and other settings are applied from the Picking Rectangle panel, rotation settings are applied. As a result, Kofax VRS applies image processing settings in this order:

• Kofax VRS deskew (if enabled)
• Kofax VRS crop (if enabled)
• Settings on the Advanced Properties Picking Rectangle panel
• Settings on Advanced Properties Rotation panel.
