The following examples of the scan modes illustrate possible
output for the scanned image.
True Color, RGB
In this scan mode, your scanner captures 24 bits of color image
information for every dot (pixel) in your resulting scanned image.
Therefore over 16 million colors are possible.
RGB simply stands for Red-Green-Blue; these being the additive
primary colors. Additive refers to the addition, or mixing, of light
of different colors. For example, mixing equal proportions of fully
saturated red, green, and blue light produces white light.
Excellent color details can be obtained using this scan mode, but
be aware that True Color images require considerable disk space
to save them. For instance, an A4-size (8.5" x 11") 300-dpi True
Color image may require 24 megabytes of storage space
(uncompressed).
