the image may be reduced.
The image is processed digitally to remove the effects
of scratches and dust.

the Preview button in the scan window (the preview image
can not be updated using the Redraw button, which can

Noise may appear if Digital ICE is used to process overexposed images
or images that have acquired very vivid colors through the developing
process. The best results will be obtained in correctly exposed images
that have been developed normally.

Kodachrome in the fi lm type menu. Depending on the frame scanned,
blurring or localized loss of detail may occasionally result when Koda-
