This occurs when the overall saturation and intermediate tone is weak. In other words, the density and purity of the color is lacking. To remedy this, raise the tone curve of the intermediate colors by adjusting the Tone Collection in the image import software, EPSON TWAIN Pro. Otherwise, click the Color Adjustment button to increase the level of saturation, and scan the image again. |
