Remove Dust and Scratches (CanoScan D2400U only)
This function is available with CanoScan D2400U and FAU-S13 when
Image Source is set to [Film], and the film type is set to [Color Positives]
or [Color Negatives]. The FARE (Film Automatic Retouching and
Enhancement] function automatically produces a scanned image with
the areas under small bits of dirt or scratches removed. The available
settings are [None], [Soft], [Normal] and [Hard].
•
Soft
Compensates for high-contrast dirt and scratches. At this
setting, it may not be possible to restore areas under
large flecks of dirt or scratches.
•
Normal
This setting is recommended for most purposes.
•
Hard
Compensates for low-contrast dirt and scratches.
Although its may restore areas under large flecks of dirt
or scratches, it may leave artifacts after processing.
•
This function cannot be used with black and white
film. It may also fail to have any effect on
KODACHROME film.
•
Areas under dirt and scratches may not be
removed if the selected scan area is too small.
•
There are occasions when areas under dirt or
scratches on the top or bottom edges cannot be
removed.
•
If the edge of the film guide is included in the scan
area, the areas under dirt or scratches at the
boundaries of the scan area may not be removed.
•
The Remove Dust and Scratches function will not
work at resolutions above 2400 dpi. Please reset
the output resolution at, or within, 25 and 2400
dpi. In addition, lower the magnification so that
the scanning resolution remains at 2400 dpi or
less. If, for example, the output resolution is set to
1200 dpi and the magnification to 400%, the
resulting scanning resolution is 4800 dpi, or four
times the output resolution. (1200 dpi x 400% =
4800 dpi)
This function is particularly effective at removing dirt or scratches from images
with large areas of relatively consistent coloring, such as sky shots, etc.
