Digital DEE—Enhancing Detail in Shadows and Highlights

Digital DEE (Dynamic Exposure Extender) reveals details in

shadows and highlights, correcting for underexposure in

back-lit subjects or shaded areas and for overexposure in

brightly lit areas. Digital DEE is only available with 9000 ED,

5000 ED, and COOLSCAN V ED ﬁ lm scanners.

Enhancing Details in Shadows

To enhance details in shadows, select Enable Digital DEE

and adjust shadow brightness using the Shadow Adjust-

ment slider or by entering a value between 1 and 100 in the

text box to its right. The larger the value, the brighter shad-

ows in the image will be. The default setting is 50.

To preview the image at the new settings, click the Redraw

button. If the desired results are not achieved, adjust set-

tings and click the Redraw button again.

Digital DEE

The status of Digital DEE is shown in the scan window information

panel. A warning icon ( ) will be displayed if the preview image has

not been updated to reﬂ ect changes to Digital DEE settings. Digital DEE

is not available when the FH-816 or FH-8G1 is used with the 9000 ED,

or when the FH-G1 is used with the 5000 ED or COOLSCAN V ED.

Scanning and Preview Times

Scanning and preview times will increase when Digital DEE is enabled.

To reduce scanning and preview times, remove the check from the En-

able Digital DEE check box.

Medium-Format Film (9000 ED Only)

When using Digital DEE to scan medium-format ﬁ lm under Windows,

adjust “Crop” palette settings so that ﬁ le size is 169 MB or less. A ﬁ le of

169 MB is equivalent to a full frame of 6 × 9 ﬁ lm (crop size 6588 × 4482

pixels) scaled to 100% at 2000 dpi.

Selecting a Crop

When using Digital DEE, select a crop that excludes the frame borders

and other unexposed areas of the ﬁ lm.

Monotone Shadows

Digital DEE has no effect if details in shadows have been totally obliter-

ated, leaving shadows a single, uniform color.
