The main function of this menu is to make some processing with current image.
Please refer to specific function items for more details.
Mirror

appears on the right.
Flip
An image of something that the head side appears on the bottom and the bottom
side appears on the head.

Rotate Left (90)
Rotate the image for counter-clockwise with 90 degrees.
Rotate Right (90)
Rotate the image for clockwise with 90 degrees.
Rotate
Rotate the image for in clockwise or counter-clockwise with any degree.

Change the actual size of the image. Click the menu item, the resample dialog will
be shown.
User can choose “Factor” or indicate the width and height of image directly to alter.
Under the item of latter, you only need to adjust the alternative of width and height.
Varied resolution gives birth to great influence of images. You can choose different
resolution according to what you need.
Remove selection
Remove the content you have tracked, that indicates you cannot operate it at the
selected range.
Crop
You can remove the part outside the tracker and retain the inside one when you
have selected the image.
Linear Filter
It’s mainly aimed at doing some processing of linear filter with image.
Blur
Further blur the image.
Soften
Soften the hard sides in the image, to makes it gentler.
Gaussian 3x3
Make weighted average mount on image with matrix 3*3 of Gaussian matrix so as
to soften the image.
Gaussian 5x5
Make weighted average mount on image with matrix 5*5 of Gaussian matrix so as
13
to soften the image.
Sharpen
Enhance the edge effect to the image so that it will get more obvious edges.
Edge
Extract the edge information from the image so as to look over it easily.
Emboss
Display embosses effect of the image.
Custom
Set the matrix operators for the image to satisfy the demands what professionals
need.
Non Linear Filter
It’s mainly aimed at doing some processing of non linear filter with image.
Add Noise
Add some dots to the image.
Median
Non linear technology mounts the gray-scale value in each point as the adjoining
median value for all the pixels with gray-scale value.
Methods:
a) Take out odd data point to array from the sample window.
b) Replace the data that needs to deal with by arrayed median.
Median filter method is very effective to pepper and salt noise elimination, it
attaches importance to phase analysis processing about optical stripe measurement.
However, it has nothing to do with the central analysis method. In image
processing, it always uses for protecting the edge information; it’s a classical
way to smooth the noise.
Selective Blur
Slightly blur partial image.
Unsharp Mask
Blur the mask so as to sharpen it.
Dilate
Make dilation processing of the edge so that the thin line becomes more obvious.
14

Draw the outline of image.
Edge
Retain the edge on the image.
Jitter
To diffuse the pixel of image, and get a sandblasting effect.
Text Blur
Make text be blurred.
Blur Selection Border
Make blur selection at the border. It is useful under the prerequisite condition that
the selection areas exist.
Remove Red Eye
Remove the red eye phenomenon in the image. Freely select the part of red eyes.
OCR
Optical character recognition, recognize and extract the words from the image
with words so that the user receives them easily and get rid of annoyance of typing
words. Note: you should adjust the direction as soon as possible, do not tilt, so to
get better results.
3.2.5 Colors
It’s mainly aimed at doing some processing with the color of image. Please refer to
the functions for more details.
Negative
Take anti-techniques from color components R, G, B in current image as anti-color
processing. The effect is the same as that in the film.
Gray Scale
It adopts 256 grades of gray-scale value to display current color image, the effect
is just as that in black-and-white TV.
Dither
Use different density of black pixel to express the gray image.
Histogram
15
Adjust the quality according to the colors of red, green, and blue which takes up in
the image pixel.
Stretch (luminance)
Stretch the histogram of the image with more luminance parameter. It is aimed at
enlarging the intervals of gray scale in order to observe clearly.
Stretch (linked)
Stretch the histogram of the image with linked method. It is aimed at enlarging the
intervals of gray scale in order to observe clearly
Stretch (independent),
Stretch the histogram of the image with independent method. It is aimed at
enlarging the intervals of gray scale in order to observe clearly.
Stretch 1 [Tresh. = 0.5%]
Stretch the histogram of the image with a value 0.5% method. It is aimed at
enlarging the intervals of gray scale in order to observe clearly.
Stretch 2 [Tresh. = 0.5%]
Stretch the histogram of the image with a value 0.5% method. It is aimed at
enlarging the intervals of gray scale in order to observe clearly.
Stretch 3 [Tresh. = 0.5%]
Stretch the histogram of the image with a value 0.5% method. It is aimed at
enlarging the intervals of gray scale in order to observe clearly.
Equalize
The equalize effect alters an image’s pixel values to create a more consistent
brightness or color component distribution.
Normalize
The normalize effect alters an image’s pixel value to create a less consistent
brightness or color component distribution.
Full Saturation
Stretch the histogram of the image with a full saturation method.
Half Saturation
Stretch the histogram of the image with a half- saturation method.
Remove Shadow 1
Remove the shadow of image.
16
Remove Shadow 2
Remove the shadow of image.
Threshold
The threshold effect converts grayscale or color images to high-contrast,
black-and-white images. Specify a certain level as a threshold, all pixels lighter
than the threshold convert to white and all pixels darker convert to black.
After clicking it, the system will count current distribution and draw out a referred
threshold, user can enter this value or any you want.
Adaptive Threshold
It refers to the gray scale threshold of a certain point in the image which is 0 or 255,
that is to say, the whole image shows black-white state.256 levels of gray scale can
still attain threshold image which reflect the overall and partial characteristics
through appropriate threshold options.
After clicking the item, the system will calculate current histogram distribution
state, and then implement threshold processing of current image.
Colorize
Colorize the image. For three ways: hue, saturation, mixed degrees adjustment,
RGB color quantum adjustment, brightness adjustment. Add color to a grayscale
image which converted to RGB, or add color to an RGB image, for example, to
make it look like a duotone image by reducing its color values to one hue.
Gamma
It's a way that edits for gamma curve and non-linear hue. Detect the light and dark
part, and increase the proportion of them so that contrast degrees enhance.
Pseudo Colors
You can add colors to gray scale diagram. Human beings are not sensitive to minor
changes, but extremely sensitive to colorized ones. Pseudo colors take advantage
of the characteristic to enhance the resolution of that.
Lighten
Increase the value of a pixel in the image.
Darken
Reduce the value of a pixel in the image.
More Contrast
Increase the contrast of the image.
Less Contrast
Reduce the contrast of the image.
17
More Saturation (hsl)
Increase the saturation of the image through the hsl.
More Saturation (yuv)
Increase the saturation of the image through the yuv.
Less Saturation
Reduce the saturation of the image.
