Preferences Preview

This section of the preferences decides about the quality of the scan in the preview area of the main window.
Have in mind that the maximum of the screen resolution is 72 dpi. Because this view is scaled relative to the real scan area by a factor of 2.5 the maximum resolution would be 28.8 dpi, so a setting of 30 dpi is recommended. The color depth may be selected upon your scanner speed.
