Remove Dust and Scratches

(CanoScan D2400U only)

This function is available with CanoScan D2400U and FAU-S13 when [Film] is selected in the [Preferences] menu, and the film type is set to [Color Positives] or [Color Negatives]. The FARE (Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement] function automatically produces a scanned image with the areas under small bits of dirt or scratches removed. The available settings are [None], [Soft], [Standard] and [Hard].

Soft: Compensates for high-contrast dirt and scratches. At this setting, it may not be possible to restore areas under large flecks of dirt or scratches.

Standard: This setting is recommended for most purposes.

Hard: Compensates for low-contrast dirt and scratches. Although its may restore areas under large flecks of dirt or scratches, it may leave artifacts after processing.

Caution

• This function cannot be used with black and white film. It may also fail to have any effect on KODACHROME film.

Areas under dirt and scratches may not be removed if the selected scan area is too small.

There are occasions when areas under dirt or scratches on the top or bottom edges cannot be removed.

If the edge of the film guide is included in the scan area, the areas under dirt or scratches at the boundaries of the scan area may not be removed.

The Remove Dust and Scratches function will not work at resolutions above 2400 dpi. Please reset the output resolution at, or within, 25 and 2400 dpi. In addition, lower the magnification so that the scanning resolution remains at 2400 dpi or less. If, for example, the output resolu- tion is set to 1200 dpi and the magnification to 400%, the resulting scanning resolution is 4800 dpi, or four times the output resolution. (1200 dpi x 400% = 4800 dpi)

Operating Procedures

Open the [Image] menu and select [Hard], [Standard] or [Soft] from the [Remove Dust and Scratches] submenu.
