The Tiff Viewer's newest version now includes major new improvements for cleaning up scanned and Faxed documents by removing noise or random black pixels.

Version 13.55 of the Tiff viewer also comes with a sophisticated feature to remove black pixels from images, greatly reducing the noise from scanned or faxed images. Included in this release is an improved Clean Image feature, that now supports 24-bit color images.

By using the new document clean features, users can preserve, or even restore the quality and legibility of the images, which is crucial when scanning or faxing documents. This is also beneficial when it comes to processing documents by improving the optical character resolution (OCR) results, as the image is more clear.

In the new TIFF Viewer, the Deskew feature has also been improved. Now users can deskew scanned documents using a custom angle, allowing users to adjust the deskew angle, rotate, or even change the orientation in one single step.

The latest TIFF Viewer Chrome/Edge extension comes with improvements for saving, exporting, and printing documents in PDF format. The Chrome extension has a new feature to use JPEG compression with PDF documents, allowing users to create a much smaller file size.
