  • Digital ICE³™ automatic digital image correction function
    1. Digital ICE™ (Image Correction & Enhancement), a refined version of the function known as "CleanImage" in the earlier LS-2000 and LS-30, removes dust, scratches and finger prints from scanned images
      Digital ICE™ applies to color film and color process monochrome film, but is not recommended for use with Kodachrome film.
    2. Digital ROC™ (Reconstruction of Color) restores faded images to true, brilliant color by determining ideal color tone for each image.
    3. Digital GEM™ (Grain Equalization & Management) equalizes image grain resulting in a smoother overall image.
