Plustek has launched a new high-resolution film scanner, the OpticFilm 7300, aimed at SOHO users, digital imaging enthusiasts and photographers.

 

An upgrade to the OpticFilm 7200, the 7300 offers a high optical 7200dpi resolution and features Plustek’s new multi-exposure function for negative film and a multi-sampling feature which reduces noise. Also included is LaserSoft Imaging’s latest SilverFast SEPlus 6.5 ME image editing software, which provides a powerful scan with high-quality results.

 

The new multi-sampling function enhances the scan quality of the OpticFilm 7300 by minimising noise found in the image caused by varying factors such as low-level lighting or low resolution images. In operation, the unit quickly scans the slide four times with each scan generating four separate readings of the noise level on the image. These are then automatically averaged out to produce the final high-quality scan.

 

Providing a 48-bit scanning capability, OpticFilm 7300 supports recognition of trillions of different colours. The result is a highly accurate colour repetition when compared to the original with even subtle details such as shadows and highlights being picked-up.
