Digital Ice - Microtek ScanMaker 6400XL Reference Manual

DIGITAL ICE

The DIGITAL ICE option is part of Microtek's exclusive
TM
PictuRescue system for reconstructing damaged photos
and film.
The DIGITAL ICE feature allows scanners that implement this
function to automatically remove dust, scratches, cracks,
creases, folds, and other defects from damaged photos and
film, resulting in markedly visible improvements.
The DIGITAL ICE function is provided as a pull-down menu
with 3 available options: None, Normal, and Strong.
To use DIGITAL ICE to repair damaged photos and film:
1. In the Settings window, click the "DIGITAL ICE" options
menu, and select None, Normal, or Strong.
2. In the Preview window, click the "Scan" or "Batch"
button to perform scanning. The effects from the use of
DIGITAL ICE will display shortly afterwards – with dust,
scratches, creases, and other defects removed from the
image being scanned. Take note that DIGITAL ICE
requires additional time in processing and requires more
time than regular scanning.
Note:
• For DIGITAL ICE to work on photos, make sure the
Descreen option in the Settings window is set to None.
• For DIGITAL ICE to work on film, the EZ-Lock™ film
holder should be used if it is supplied as an accessory
with the scanner (such as the ScanMaker i800). Use of
the EZ-Lock film holder sends a signal to the scanner
that film is being scanned, allowing DIGITAL ICE to be
enabled if it is to be used to repair damaged film.
