VRS Corrections Tab

After scanning a batch, use the VRS Corrections tab to apply quality adjustments to individual images without rescanning them. The settings that you apply from this tab are not saved in a profile; they affect only the scanned image selected in the viewer.

The controls on the VRS Corrections tab match the active selection (VRS General or VRS Color) in the Corrections group. By default, the VRS Corrections tab opens to the VRS General settings. Each time you select the VRS Corrections tab, it opens to the settings that were active the last time the tab was active.
