Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
Combining impressive hardware technology with versatile software applications, the Minolta Dimâge Scan Multi II film scanner is indispensable for both imaging professionals and avid amateurs. Its software driver offers nearly 600 automatic settings in nine categories with additional customization easily possible. Working with a variety of Macintosh operating systems, it functions equally well on Windows 98, 98, and NT 4.0, connecting through a simple USB port.

Standard usage permits up to six sleeved or four mounted slides. Optional accessories include the AD-100 adapter and the SC-100 slide feeder, both of which improve productivity by allowing you to scan up to 50 images in one batch. An additional timesaver is Multi Sample Scanning, which quickly reduces the random noise present with scanned images. Using RGB sensors that scan images line by line, the finished images have a maximum resolution up to 2,820 dpi, ensuring finely grained results in print sizes up to 8 by 10 inches. Taking the extra time to use features like Digital ROC (Reconstruction of Color) and GEM (Grain Equalization Management) virtually guarantees perfect clarity in all your photos.

With all these advanced functions, the scanner remains relatively easy to use with a simple window- and tab-based interface that allows you to control everything from color balance to histogram compensation. --Jill Lightner

The Dimage Scan Multi II's new driver software provides Applied Science Fiction's Digital ROC and GEM technologies, which give time-saving and effective solutions for correcting faded colors and reducing graininess. Combining these sophisticated features with Minolta's Multi Sample Scanning and Color Matching system further enhances the excellence of the high-quality images.
