Hi,

If the scanner uses an ActiveX interface, you can try using Automation Open function to open an ActiveX reference to the scanner and use an invoke node to access the functions available for the scanner.

Once you have the image in LabVIEW you can use the functions located in the Graphics and Sound>> Graphics Format palette to modify the image.
