Image Conversions & Enhancements
We can provide technical services to convert images to different formats and to enhance or change image characteristics. Using various sophisticated image enhancement programs our techs can also enhance images in the following ways:

• Annotations
  Graphics or text which is added to an image page that was not part of the original image.
• Resolution Adjustments
  Resolution represents the number of pixels per unit length of the image. For example: pixels per inch, pixels per millimeter, or pixels wide.
• Cropping
  To trim the edges of an image, often to improve the composition.
• Watermarks
  Bits altered within an image to create a pattern which indicates proof of ownership. Unauthorized use of a watermarked image can then be traced.
• Rotation
  Involves turning the image by 90, 180 or 270 degrees to the left or right.
• Black Border Removal
  Can be used to remove black edges that sometimes appear around the image during scanning or photocopying.
• De-skewing
  Removing the slant of an image that prevents it from being perfectly squared on the page or screen.
• Line Removal
  Can be used to remove lines from, or to reconstruct lines on, a form-based image.
• Noise Removal
  Noise can be picked up from carbon or dirt particles found in scanners, fax machines, or copiers. This process removes them from the document.
• Inverting (Polarity)
  Creating a negative of an image. Black pixels become white and white pixels become black (or vice versa).
• De-speckle
  Removing isolated speckles from an image file. Speckles often develop when a document is scanned.
• Mirror
  An image that is reversed from left to right.
