It provides the tools for scanning and editing images, including image color and resolution adjustments, applying visual effects and filters, customizing image view, and other facilities.

Applying visual effects to the image, adjusting brightness, contrast and color gamma, or applying color inversion to it. Applying sharpening or blurring filters to the image. Scanning the image or document at lower scan resolution, previewing the scan result, selecting the area to be scanned and adjusting the image view. Scanning the image using the scan settings you specified. Reusing the settings you have adjusted in future scanning jobs.
