With the price of digital cameras
dropping recently many people have adopted the new digital
photo revolution. And for those wanting to back up their old
film format photos you could use Minolta's new DiMAGE Scan
Dual IV photo scanner. The DiIMAGE
makes it easy for 35mm and Advanced Photo System film camera enthusiasts
to create beautiful digital images from their film slides and negatives.
It is an ideal choice for those who have never owned (or even operated) a
film scanner as well as those who wish to replace their current film
scanner or are not satisfied with the performance of today's flatbed
scanners.
Minolta's DiMAGE Scan Dual IV provides a high-quality 35mm film, slide,
and APS film scanning solution. Scanning is achieved using the
accompanying film and slide holders (APS film holder must be purchased
separately), delivering up to 3,200 dpi resolution. Ideal for serious
photo enthusiasts and professionals alike, the DiMAGE Scan Dual IV offers
Pixel Polish, Auto Dust Brush, and Grain Dissolver to correct and enhance
your photo images.
Pixel Polish restores film images that have faded over time as well as
those that suffer from light-distortion (under-exposure, backlighting, and
so on). Auto Dust Brush automatically cleans any dust or lint that may
have been scanned with your film. It can also be used manually as a
separate plug-in with certain Photoshop versions to give you more precise
control of removal parameters and to let you preview results. Grain
Dissolver removes excess grain that may be visible when scanning
high-speed film or that may appear in images scanned at very high
resolutions.
The DiMAGE Scan Dual IV offers fast USB 2.0 connectivity for both PC and
Mac users. It can perform batch scanning (up to six filmstrip frames or
four mounted slides) or multi-sampling (2x, 4x, 8x, 16x), and lets you
control a large number of factors such as tone curve, histogram,
sharpness, brightness, exposure, and color balance. The system comes with
Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0.
Included with the Minolta DiMAGE Scan Dual IV is a 35mm film holder FH-U2,
slide mount holder SH-U1, USB cable UC-2 (USB 2.0 compatible), AC adapter
AC-U25 and a CD-ROM for DiMAGE Scan Dual IV with Adobe Photoshop
Elements 2.0.
