FilmGet FS Features
● A Scanner Driver that Adjusts Images Too
FilmGet FS is the driver software for the CanoScan FS4000US scanner, and is equipped with a
variety of image processing functions and input and output controls. The Windows version can be
opened as a 32-bit TWAIN driver from within TWAIN-compliant application programs. The Macintosh
version can be opened as a plug-in from within plug-in compliant application programs.
● Color Matching System Support
(Windows: ColorGear, Macintosh: ColorSync)
This software supports color matching systems so that the colors read by the scanner are faithfully
reproduced on your monitor without forcing you to perform any troublesome adjustments.
● Batch Scanning of Multiple Frames
Save time and effort by setting the color adjustment and resolution settings for individual frames and
then scanning the selected frames in a single batch. You can scan up to six frames of 35 mm (135)
film, four frames of slide-mounted film, or 40 frames of APS (IX240) film in a single batch.
• APS film refers to APS standard film.
APS is the abbreviation for Advanced Photo System.
● Dirt and Scratch Correction Function FARE
This software is equipped with the FARE (Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement) dirt and
scratch correction function. This function eliminates troublesome and time consuming cleaning and
scratch retouching work by automatically identifying dirt and scratches on the film surface and
correcting these defects to provide a clear image.
● Easy Scanning with Auto Settings
Settings for images that are to be used for specific purposes, such as for display on a monitor, for
output to a printer or for transmission in a fax, can be set automatically. You are now free to scan
without bothering with resolution and size settings.
● Tool Tips Provide Guidance
Guidance is always at hand when you position the mouse cursor over a button or tool. The tool tips
provide useful information if you are unsure how to use an item.
● Common Windows and Macintosh User Interface
The Windows and Macintosh versions of FilmGet FS both share the same user-friendly window
design and functions. You can switch between either platform without noticing the transition.
