DIGITAL ICE Technology
The award-winning DIGITAL ICE technology automatically removes surface
defects, such as dust and scratches, from a scanned image. DIGITAL ICE
Technology differentiates itself from software-only solutions because
it does not soften, blur or otherwise alter any underlying details or
composition of the original image. Instead, the patented DIGITAL ICE
Technology works from within the scanner, during the scanning process,
to provide users with a clear, authentic base image that improves the
original image.

Increased Demand for Digital Images
|
The
worldwide growth of the PC industry, desktop publishing and the use of
the Internet has dramatically increased the demand for clear digital
images. Amateur and professionals alike manipulate digitized images to
suit a multitude of needs from sharing captured memories with relatives
and friends, to publishing and otherwise distributing images as a
business.
To obtain digital
images, users digitize conventional photographic negatives and slides
using film scanners. Professional labs, mini labs, imaging service
bureaus, photographers, pre-press businesses and desktop publishing
operations spend a considerable effort keeping images free of
defects.

Problems
Getting the Best Images
|
During
the routine handling of photographic film, the emulsion and base can
receive surface scratches, smudges and fingerprints, which appear in
the final image. Conventional image correction methods include cleaning
and sometimes printing the film in a wet gate.
In order to
correct image artifacts, scratches, and surface defects, numerous
software applications have become available for amateur and
professional use. Though these solutions produce satisfactory results,
their implementation is labor intensive, often resulting in pricing
that make such efforts prohibitive, particularly for the amateur
consumer.
