High Productivity Navigation Function Scanning multiple images has never been easier with Navigation function; a system to automate the scanning procedure. For 35mm film scanning, select a frame, check the box of a desired operation, and start Navigation. Navigation function will activate a scanning flow, opening a window that takes the users step-by-step through the setting process. Scanning the Advanced Photo System films will be drastically simplified as procedures for the entire roll of film can be automated from index scan through rewind, with minimum manual operation for selecting frames. Snap ShotOne of the critical jobs in image correction is to decide the best image to scan while corrections are applied to the preview image. But the latest correction may not be always the best one. Snap Shot enables the users to temporarily save various corrections for each preview image and compare them quickly with a scroll. Image Correction Job Image Correction Job saves the correction settings of an image, so the users can apply them to another preview image. This will make retouch and comparison process much easier. AE Area Lock For versatile exposure compensation, the AE Area Lock adjusts the exposure based on a selected area. Auto Crop With Auto Crop function, holder frame and slide mount frame can be automatically removed from the preview images. Hue/Saturation/Lightness Correction For added versatility, HSL system enables image correction by Hue, Saturation, and Lightness in addition to ordinary R/G/B color balance adjustment. Job Function Determining scan settings can be confusing and time-consuming. Using the Job function eliminates the need for complicated calculations. Simply select the desired output category and page size, then the scan settings are finished! The Dimage Scan Elite's Job function has about 150 easy-to-understand scan settings. From Webpage to color laser printer output types and from postcard to full A4 output size, scan settings are quickly and easily determined for optimum performance. The driver software does all the figuring. It’s even possible to make custom settings that can be saved onto the hard drive, then recalled as needed. Excellent Interface All these sophisticated functions are arranged by tabs and windows, to which function are tasked efficiently. For ease of use, tone-curve and histogram compensation, generally in separate windows, are integrated in the same window. Also arranged in one window is color balance, brightness, and contrast corrections. Variation window simplifies the corrections into a visual display, allowing the users to check the image instantly. Dual-Format Capability The Dimage Scan Elite offers versatility with its ability to scan both 35mm sleeved and mounted, positive and negative films in color and black & white. With an optional adapter, the Elite is also compatible with the new Advanced Photo System film. As an added advantage, index scans and continuous scanning of the entire Advanced Photo System film cassette can be performed with a single mouse click. Bundled Software Adobe PhotoShop LE Dimage Scan Elite comes bundled with Adobe PhotoShop LE, an easy to use photo editing software package. It allows you to enhance and modify photos, making it simple to create shrinking images for presentations, Web sites, greeting cards...whatever you want to produce. |
