Description:

High-Speed Scanning
The DiMAGE Scan Dual IV is a high productivity instrument that scans with incredible speed and precision.??Pre-scan times are a mere 5 seconds for Windows and 8 seconds for Macintosh, and the final scan is done at just 21 seconds per frame (Windows and Macintosh).

Auto Dust Brush
Automatic Dust Brush detects dust on the film surface that blowers cannot remove, and corrects the image.??A Photoshop Plug-in has been added so that images can be corrected in real-time using the bundled software Photoshop Elements 2.0.??You can also select areas for correction and adjust the?processing level.

Pixel Polish
Pixel Polish makes improving picture quality simple and fun.??Automatic image-processing corrections for color, exposure, and scene selection are made by clicking on the parameters which best describe the picture; the DiMAGE Scan Utility will instantly show the result.??Pixel Polish can also restore faded colors on film, correct backlit and under/over exposure, and check the restored image using a real-time simulation.??

Digital Grain Dissolver
With today?s very high resolution films the normal grain of the film itself can be quite noticeable in the image.??Scanning with the Digital Grain Dissolver instantly reduces this graininess without sacrificing the original image, allowing smooth creation of high-quality scanned images at the full resolution capacity of 3200 dpi.??

State-of-the-Art, Negative-to-Positive Conversion
The real test for a film scanner is how well it can produce an image from color negative film, due to the film?s inherent latitude and the differences between the densities and contrast of the cyan, magenta, and yellow layers.??Konica Minolta?s improved negative-to-positive conversion algorithm ensures effortless image production with true-to-life results.

100% Field of View Scanning
A new film holder and hardware updates allow the film to be scanned from corner to corner; equivalent to a 100% field of view.

Quick Scan and Batch Scan
The Quick Scan function launches the scanner and software with the simple press of a button.??It lets you select the DiMAGE Scan Utility, the Easy Scan Utility, or the Batch Scan Utility as well as set an automatic shortcut to a specific application.??The Batch Scan Utility enables you to scan large volumes of film without having to make individual settings for each image; simply press the scan button to activate the utility for each batch of film.

Multi-Sample Scanning
Multi-sample scanning reduces random noise in dark areas by scanning with multiple exposures.??Two, four, eight, or sixteen exposures can be selected.

Simple, Quick Operation -- Easy Scan Utility
The Easy Scan Utility simplifies the scanning procedure for those new to scanning and image processing.??Simply select the film type, the pictures to be scanned, and how the images are to be used; the Scan Dual IV will do the rest.??Automatic image processing can also be applied.??The images can then be saved directly to the computer or output to a printer.

Slim, Attractive Design
The DiMAGE Scan Dual IV?s eye-catching appearance reflects the sophisticated technology within.??The stylish metal body is a welcome change from the drab, featureless designs common to computer products.??The slim, vertical body creates a small footprint to minimize clutter around the computer.
