Apple Scanner: Clarification to Page 121 of the Owner‘s Guide



I'm having trouble scanning according to the directions on page 120 and 121
in the Apple Scanner Owner's Guide. While the directions are clear on how
to define two separate areas, it seems I can only select one composition
for the whole page.

For example, following the instructions, I select the first area and choose
the halftone composition. Then, using the Scan Area tool, I choose the
second area and select the line art composition. If I click back on the
first area, the composition is at line art, not halftone. If I click it
back to halftone and go to the second area, the second area switches to
halftone.

Does this feature really work using the AppleScan software? What am I
doing wrong?


We set up the Apple Scanner and followed the directions on page 121.  We
got two images--one half-tone and one line art--on the screen at the same
time.  Be sure to select the arrow tool so that things get reset before
selecting the scan area tool the second time.  Then select the scan area
tool and line art before scanning the document.
