Accurate Color Scanning
Wide-format color scanning requires high precision capture and full control over color tones. Through WIDEimageNET you can set black-and-white points and determine RGB tone transfer curves (gamma) to be applied during scanning. Scanner calibration ensures stability and predictability of color output.

Powerful Image Capture
WIDEimageNET enables you to control the Contex scanner’s powerful image processing features including sharpen/soften and blur filters, Dual 2D-Adaptive enhancement with ADL+ error diffusion halftoning, 2D-Adaptive thresholding, 2D-Adaptive background suppression and 2D-Auto edge enhancement. The software comes with many useful standard scan presets that combine optimal image processing settings that are tested with different types of originals such as Light paper, Blueprint, Sepia, Gray transparency, Pencil and more.

Scanning Tools
WIDEimageNET is a complete system containing professional imaging tools all in one interface so you don’t have to transport your scanned file for basic image manipulation. Wide-format scanning often involves whole sets of large documents, drawings and maps. To support this, WIDEimageNET offers batch scanning, batch printing and batch file type conversion to enable you to process many documents at one go. Batch processing includes automatic file naming and detailed log file output.

	Scanning Scanning Scan and prescan interactively. The split screen with Overview and Detail windows lets you move around the image, and try out different settings while you zoom in and view the effects on-line. Color modes - 24-bit true color, 8-bit indexed color, 8-bit classified color. Realistic 8-bit graytone (256 grayshade levels). Printed copies with B/W copy normal, B/W copy photo, B/W copy adaptive modes. Scan to file with B/W adaptive and B/W threshold modes. RGB tone transfer curves, adjustable black and white point. Brightness, contrast, tonal adjustment. Sharpen/soften/blur controls. Scan Window - Select a limited portion for scanning. Automatic alignment, rotation and inversion during scanning. Batch scanning.
	Viewing The WIDEimage ultra fast viewer offers all the tools you need for post scanning tasks. You can work with the image just scanned or load one you scanned previously. The viewer supports: Effective printing and conversion of scanned files. Sophisticated zooming tools. Brightness and contrast adjustment. Color manipulation and color to grayscale conversion. Color counting and decreasing the number of colors. Speckle removal, holefilling and color inversion. Cropping, alignment, rotation. Measuring of distances and angles. Batch conversion.
	Feature Extraction In the Feature screen you create and edit a color feature extraction filter. The filter can be downloaded to the scanner for color classified scanning of whole groups of similar maps or drawings. The Feature screen includes the following tools: Three ways to view image colors - Main image, Color Wheel and Histogram. Switch between LUT filter viewing and RGB true color viewing. Automatic creation of initial feature extraction (LUT) filter. Button tools for marking and protecting colors. Button tools for merging and removing colors. Button tools for inserting, importing and exploding colors. Edit, apply and undo buttons.
