<p>A document scanner (10) generates an 8-bit binary scan word (30) for each picture element (PEL) of a document (11). An intensity and/or contrast look-up table memory element (40), or a computation means (47) is addressed using the scan words. The stored content of each storage location in the look-up table memory element, or the value that is computed by the computation means, comprises an enhanced 8-bit binary word (44) that varies as a function of user selected image intensity (48) and/or contrast (49) enhancement. In this way, each document PEL scan word produces its intensity and/or contrast enhanced equivalent PEL word.</p> |
