**Note:** The user may check any or all boxes labeled "speckle reduction", "default sharpen thumbnails" and can choose to default the intraoral images only, the pan/ceph images only, or both by checking ‘Default Intraoral’ and/or ‘Default Pan/Ceph’. 

**Step 2**: In the **Sharp Options**, select one of three sharpening levels to default Intraoral and or Pan/Ceph images.

**Step 3**: Hit Ok (SAVE). 

**Note**:  Defaults are not permanent, user can make changes to settings at any time.  Adjust settings with caution. Some adjustments can affect sensor capture and image processing settings. Settings are per workstation. Call XDR support for assistance.
