Abstract
A job ticket generating system for a printing system is provided. The job ticket generating system includes a user interface having a display screen and a job ticket displayed on the user interface. The job ticket includes an original user feedback image, an electronically based scale settable in a plurality of positions, and an image processing subsystem for altering an appearance of the user feedback image in response to a change in the electronically based scale—the electronically based scale is set to one of the plurality of positions. The job ticket generating system further includes a library of masks with one of the masks being selected from the library of masks based on the one of the plurality of positions set with the electronically based scaled. In practice, the image processing subsystem applies the selected mask to the original user feedback so as to obtain an altered user feedback image whose appearance is changed relative to the original user feedback image.
