Image Cleanup Profiles Window - Deshade

Use this window to select options for a deshade (shade removal) operation. You must specify the minimum height and width of the shaded areas you want to remove, as well as provide information about the speckles in the shaded areas. All shaded areas that satisfy the characteristics you specify are removed. Any text that is within the shaded areas is preserved.

Name

Select the name of the Image Cleanup Profile you want to modify or use as the basis for a new profile.

Filters

Select the filter you want to apply. The fields in the Custom Settings area are different for each image cleanup filter.

Minimum width

Enter the minimum width of the shaded areas to remove.

Minimum height

Enter the minimum height of the shaded areas to remove.

Max speckle width

Enter the maximum width (horizontal size) of the speckles to remove.

Max speckle height

Enter the maximum height (vertical size) of the speckles to remove.

Tip The speckles in a shaded area are not always the same size and shape, which makes it difficult to specify the maximum width and height of the speckles to remove. To account for the differences in size, you can enter adjustment values for the specified speckle sizes with the Horizontal adjust and Vertical adjust options below.

Horizontal adjust

Enter an adjustment value for the Max speckle width.

Vertical adjust

Enter an adjustment value for the Max speckle height.

Note The default value for Horizontal adjust and Vertical adjust is 1 pixel, which is the recommended value for most operations.

Measurement units

Select units of measurement for your deshade options. You can select one of the following:

  • English (inches)

  • Metric (centimeters)

  • Pixels

Test button

Tests your zone settings. Your recognition profile and cleanup settings are applied to the zone and the results are displayed in the Zone Test window. The contents of the test results match the search text specified in this window.

The Test button is unavailable if the sample page is displayed from the Document class tree view. The sample must be displayed from the Batch class tree view tab if you want to use QuickZones to verify your recognition and cleanup settings.
