Scanner Features 3

Scanner Features

Whether you are scanning a recent photo or a faded photo from the past, your

Epson®Perfection®4990 scanner includes these features so you can get the best

possible scan:

■DIGITAL ICE™ Technology

■Easy Photo Fix™

These features are described below. For

instructions on using these features, see “Scanning and

Restoring Photos” on page 5 and “Scanning Film” on page 6.

You can also scan pages of type and turn them into editable

text as described on page 10.

DIGITAL ICE Technology

Your scanner includes both DIGITAL ICE Technology for Photo Prints and for

Film. The DIGITAL ICE (Image Correction and Enhancement) technology is

built into the Perfection 4990 scanner and works along with the included

DIGITAL ICE software. This combination of hardware and software lets you

scan, correct, and restore your photos in one easy step, without any compromise in

image quality.

With DIGITAL ICE for Photo Prints, your scanner examines your photo for

defects on the surface, such as scratches, tears, and cracks. It does this by shining a

second light source on your photo and storing information about the shadows

these defects create in a separate data space. It then uses this information to

remove the defects from your scanned image so you don’t have to remove them

yourself.

DIGITAL ICE for Film uses a different method to automatically remove

scratches, dust, and fingerprints from your scanned image. During the typical

scanning process, information is gathered using red, green, and blue channels.

With DIGITAL ICE for Film, an additional infrared channel collects the defect

information for correction.

The results are truly amazing. Though it takes a bit longer to scan with DIGITAL

ICE Technology, the end results will save you time. The majority of the

painstaking work of removing scanned defects is done for you. Final touch-ups

can still be done in Adobe®Photoshop.

4Scanner Features

Here are some examples of scan times with and without DIGITAL ICE

Technology over a FireWire®connection. Your scan times may vary, depending on

your computer system, connection, and the amount of defect correction needed.

Note:

When using DIGITAL ICE Technology to scan printed photos, select a resolution

between 50 and 1200 dpi. Note that DIGITAL ICE Technology does not detect tape or

fingerprints or marks from pens or markers because these appear as part of the image

and not as surface defects. DIGITAL ICE Technology should not be used to scan printed

items like magazines.

DIGITAL ICE Technology supports color and chromogenic (dye-based) black and white

film. For best results, do not use with conventional black and white negative film or

Kodachrome™film.

Epson Easy Photo Fix

With just one click, you can use Easy Photo Fix to restore the color of faded

photos, negatives, and slides; remove dust from slides and negatives; or reduce film

grain in your scans. The three elements of Easy Photo Fix are described below:

■Color Restoration

Restores faded photographs, slides, and negatives. Removes the blue hue from

underwater photos.

■Dust Removal

Removes dust from slides and negatives, including black and white negative

film and Kodachrome film.

■Grain Reduction

Reduces the grain pattern on film. Use when scanning high-speed film or

underexposed images in Professional Mode.
