Abstract
A detail area of a low resolution preview scan is selected to determine the quality of a subsequent high resolution scan. A detail window containing high resolution image data corresponding to the selected detail area is displayed as soon as it becomes available during the high resolution scan. Based on the quality of the high resolution image data displayed within the detail window, the scanning operator can prematurely terminate the high resolution scan of the image prior to completion.
