Examples of systems and methods for enhancing image quality for documents with highlighted portions are described. A highlighted portion from a received input is detected. The highlighted portion is automatically segmented as a text layer and the remaining portion is further segmented as a separate text layer and an image layer. A resolution is assigned to the highlighted portion, wherein the resolution assigned to the highlighted portion is greater than the respective resolution for the text layer and the image layer, to improve quality of the highlighted portion. The text layer corresponding to the highlighted portion and the separate text layer and the image layer are integrated together to generate a scanned document in a Mixed Raster Content (MRC) file format.
