The Verification Station usually receives processed images. Sometimes, though, an image arrives unprocessed or incorrectly processed. In those cases, you can edit the pages on the Verification Station with the image-editing tools. Each tool is available as a button on the image window toolbar and as a command in the Image submenu of the Edit menu (in the main window) or the drop-down menu. Most tools apply to every page you select in the image window.
Editing an image requires sending its pages for re-recognition. Any changes you made to those pages during verification will be lost.

Autocrop an image

The Autocrop tool finds the page borders automatically and crops to them. It also corrects skew and distortion. Select one or more pages in the image window, then click the Autocrop button Autocrop button or select Image → Autocrop from the Edit menu or the drop-down menu.

Crop an image

Unlike Autocrop, the Crop tool crops manually and can crop several regions on a single image.
1

Select the page

In the image window, select the page to crop.
2

Open the Crop tool

Click the Crop button Crop button, or select Image → Crop from the Edit menu or the drop-down menu.
3

Mark the regions to crop

Draw one or more regions to crop out. Each region is marked with a rectangular frame.
  • To draw a region inside an existing region, hold Ctrl while drawing.
  • To deselect a region, hold Shift and left-click inside it or on one of its borders.
4

Apply the crop

Click Apply in the upper-right corner of the dialog box, press Enter, or left-click outside the image. Each marked area becomes a separate page.
5

Save your changes

Click OK to save your changes, or Cancel to close the dialog box without saving.

Split an image

If a page contains two or more images (several documents, or several pages of one document), you can split it into separate pages, with each part saved as its own page. Select the page in the image window, then click the Split button Split button or select Image → Split from the Edit menu or the drop-down menu. A modifier key controls how the page is split:
  • No key splits the page into two parts horizontally (the default).
  • Shift splits the page into two parts vertically.
  • Ctrl splits the page both horizontally and vertically, into four parts.

Invert an image

If an image has light text on a dark background, invert its colors before further processing. Select the pages in the image window, then click the Invert button Invert button or select Image → Invert from the Edit menu or the drop-down menu.

Rotate an image

On a page with standard orientation, lines of text read from top to bottom. Rotate any page that has a non-standard orientation. Select the pages in the image window, then rotate them in one of the following ways:
  • To rotate 90° clockwise, click the Rotate 90° clockwise button button or select Image → Rotate 90° Clockwise from the Edit menu or the drop-down menu.
  • To rotate 90° counterclockwise, click the Rotate 90° counterclockwise button button or select Image → Rotate 90° Counterclockwise from the Edit menu or the drop-down menu.
  • To rotate 180°, click the Rotate 180° button button or select Image → Rotate 180° from the Edit menu or the drop-down menu.
You can also set up automatic page-orientation correction on the Project Setup Station and the Scanning Station.

Despeckle an image

The Despeckle tool clears blemishes from the image background. It applies only to black-and-white images. Select the pages in the image window, then click the Despeckle button Despeckle button or select Image → Despeckle from the Edit menu or the drop-down menu.
