ABSTRACT:
A user interface for scanner software that allows a variable resolution preview scan of a document to be presented to the user in a preview box within a scanner software window. The user clicks on a point within the preview scan, and the classification of the image immediately around the click point is determined. A selection marker is automatically drawn around the selected image, and all portions of the preview scan outside the selection marker are grayed out. Based on the classification, adjustments are made automatically, and windows having control tools for adjusting various aspects of the selected image are automatically enabled or disabled. Once the desired area is properly selected and any adjustments have been made, the user can drag and drop the selected image with a mouse onto the desktop, a folder, or an open application to launch an optimized final scan of the selected image.
