4 KODAK PROFESSIONAL ELITE Chrome 200 Film • E-148E
SCANNING TRANSPARENCIES
You can easily scan ELITE Chrome 200 Film with a variety
of linear-array-CCD, area-array-CCD, and PMT film
scanners. You can scan slides on desk-top scanners as well as
high-end drum scanners.
Because no standards exist to define the colored filter sets
that film scanners use to capture the red, green, and blue
information of the film image, each manufacturer’s scanner
has its own characteristic output. The output depends on the
scanner’s sensitivity to the dyes in the film. This sensitivity
is determined by the spectral distribution of the colored filter
sets and/or the spectral sensitivity of the
charge-coupled-device (CCD). In addition to these spectral
specifications, scanner output depends on the look-up tables
or matrices that the scanner uses to output information for
CRT monitors, transmission, etc. These tables or matrices
are part of either “plug-in” programs used with specific
software packages designed for image manipulation,
updateable ROMs included with the equipment, or fixed
algorithms for calibrating and balancing.
The generic “color slide film” setting available with
scanner software is only a starting point. You can adjust the
final color balance and the scene-dependent contrast and
brightness of an image by using the scanner’s controls
during pre-scan, or by using an image-manipulation software
program or workstation after acquisition. Some scanners
allow you to use “plug-in” programs to customize scanner
setups.
