* Multi-pass scanning to reduce optical noise, even with some scanners that do not support this in hardware.Ĭolor management for display monitors, scanners, and printers includes supporting use of commercially available laboratory-grade IT8.7 calibration targets and electronic colorimeter sensors. * batch scanning of both strips of film and groups of differently-sized individual images. * scanning of negative and positive transparencies, and opaque originals. * Infrared cleaning to remove dust specks with IR-equipped scanners * restoration of faded colors of both prints and film * compensation for orange mask of color negatives Vuescan makes scans in much the same way as any scanner software.
