Interpreting Measurements of the Color Registration & Motion Tests
Introduction
If a slide scanner fails the Motion and or Resolution portion of the complete IPT test, it is
suggested that you run the stand alone version of the Motion Test. Table 5-10 interprets the
measurements of the Color Registration and Motion Tests. Using the graphical and numerical
data, the Motion Test Panel supplies information regarding the cause of red to blue
misalignment and how to correct the problem. Misalignment shows up on scanned images as
color fringing seen on horizontal elements.
Figure 5-11 shows the panel after running a test on a scanner with results that pass typical
factory specifications. We will use this result to illustrate the features of the panel.
