Invert
Invert reverses the colors present on an image or portion of an image. If your image has white text on a black background, use Invert to change it to black text on a white background before performing data extraction processes such as OCR; white text is not very conducive for these processes. Invert will work on color or grayscale images, but will probably have the best results on black and white.
To use Invert
- In the Session Configuration Pane, select the stage of processing where you want to use Invert.
- In the Tasks Pane, select Invert. In the bottom right of the Tasks Pane, you can select Wizard to display more information about each property or Skip Wizard to display the properties all at once without additional information.
- Page Range: When configuring an image enhancement in Page Processing or Storage Processing, you will be prompted to specify a page range. In other stages, default settings will automatically be applied.
- Region Selection: Specify the region that will be inverted. You can invert the entire page or a selected region. To define a region, select Region and either drag and resize the zone on the Display Pane or specify coordinates in the Tasks Pane.
- Optional: To preview how this enhancement will affect scanned images and OCRed or extracted text, test processes. For the best results, add a custom sample image before testing. Adjust and test until you are satisfied with the results.
