Scanning Features & Image Enhancements
Digital ICE Technologies
Digital ICE for Film and Photo: Automatically detects and removes dust and scratches from scanned images, especially important for film and high-quality photo scans.
Grain Reduction: Reduces the appearance of grain in scanned film images, improving quality for archiving or reproduction.
Dust Removal: Uses infrared scanning to detect and remove dust spots from film scans.
Colour Restoration: Automatically restores faded colours, ideal for older prints and photographs.
Unsharp Mask with Noise Reduction:
Enhances detail in scanned images while minimizing digital noise, resulting in cleaner and sharper scans.
Backlight Correction: Automatically compensates for images with uneven lighting (such as slides or photos taken in poor lighting conditions), improving the overall scan quality.
De-screening: Optimizes the scanning of printed materials by removing moiré patterns, making printed images smoother and clearer.
Tone Curve Adjustment with Histogram:
Advanced control for tonal adjustments and fine-tuning of contrast and brightness based on a histogram, allowing for high-quality image corrections.
Colour Palette Tool for Easy Colour Fix: Adjusts and fixes colour imbalances in scanned images for better colour accuracy.
Print Image Matching II (PIM II): Ensures that printed images can be accurately reproduced from digital sources, maintaining precise colour consistency between print and scan.
