As needed, you can configure the options under the Filters tab to your personal preferences.
· Acquisition Filters - For each acquisition device, you can specify a set of filters to apply to images to fine tune those images more than what Dentrix Imaging does by default. Select a Device, and then set up the following filters as needed:
· Apply Gamma Correction - To customize this filter, select the checkbox, and then enter the amount of Gamma correction. The gamma correction value defines the relationship between a pixel's numerical value and its actual luminance; use it to redistribute the tonal levels of a raw image to be closer to how human eyes perceive them (on a standard monitor).
· Apply Pre Smoothing - To customize this filter, select the checkbox, and then enter the Strength of the smoothing effect.
· Apply Sharpening - To customize this filter, select the checkbox, and then enter the Effect and the Strength of the sharpening effect.
· Apply Post Smoothing - To customize this filter, select the checkbox, and then enter the Strength of the smoothing effect after the sharpening filter is applied. The Apply Post Smoothing checkbox is available only if the Apply Sharpening checkbox is selected.
Repeat this as needed for any other devices.
