AL ICE Hardware and Software are both required for the DIGITAL ICE Technology to function The DIGITAL ICE function can be divided into two types according to what you are scanning DIGITAL ICE for Photo Prints is used for photographs and DIGITAL ICE for Film is used for positive films color negative films and monochrome negative films With DIGITAL ICE for Photo Prints your scanner examines your photo for defects on the surface such as scratches tears cracks and debris It does this by shining a second light source on your photo and storing information about the shadows these defects create in a separate data space It then uses this information to remove the defects from your scanned image so you don t have to remove them yourself DIGITAL ICE for Film uses a different method to automatically remove scratches dust and fingerprints from your scanned image During the typical scanning process information is gathered using red green and blue channels With DIGITAL ICE for Film an additional infrared channel collects the defect information for correction The results are truly amazing Though it takes a bit longer to scan with DIGITAL ICE Technology the results will save you time The majority of the painstaking work of removing scanned defects is done for you Final touch ups can still be done in your image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop Elements 2 0 bundled with the scanner DIGITAL ICE for Photo Prints function outline Th

14. son America understand our customers concerns about staying true to the original image In an effort to maintain customer satisfaction and preserve image quality Eoson has kept the DIGITAL ICE settings on the Perfection 4870 series scanner slightly conservative Therefore a DIGITAL ICE corrected image may still require minor editing to completely remove artifacts from a damaged or dirty image 4 DIGITAL ICE works best on an image scanned from an original defective image It cannot remove artifacts from a copy or reprint of an image in which a tear scratch or defect appears as part of the image and is not an actual surface defect 5 Rotating an image 90 180 or 270 degrees from the original position may result in better surface defect detection and overall DIGITAL ICE image correction A badly damaged image may get better results in one orientation versus another Testing in all 4 positions may be needed to get the best results 6 DIGITAL ICE supports the following image types 48 bit Color 24 bit Color 16 bit Grayscale 8 bit Grayscale The other image types Color Smoothing Halftone Black amp White will disable DIGITAL ICE 7 When scanning at very high resolutions or creating extremely large image files with Epson Scan the TIFF tif file format must be used other image file formats may generate an error when saving the file Page 4 of6 PSB 2004 09 001 DIGITAL ICE for Film scanning specifications 1 DIGITAL ICE for Film suppor
