Introduction
The KODAK Professional RFS 3570 Film Scanner combines high resolution, high speed, and scanning of a variety of film formats from 35 mm to
70 mm (RFS “3570”), in one easy-to-operate desktop scanner.
Once you’ve scanned the image (color negative, color transparency, or
black-and-white negative) you can view it as a color or monochrome
image.
The Scanner works by flashing a filtered (red, green, blue) strobe through
your image against a Charge Coupled Device (CCD). The Scanner provides 6 million pixels per scan — crisp images of 3072 pixels wide by
2048 pixels high.
IntroductionG1-1
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The features of the Scanner include:
Fast scanning speed.
Quick and easy loading of film—no position adjustments are required.
User-selectable autofocus.
High quality analog-to-digital conversion with 12 bits per RGB color.
Automatic color balance with manual fine-tuning.
User-selectable image sharpening.
Ultra-fast image preview.
Support for a variety of film sizes from 35 mm to 70 mm.
Support for a large variety of film types.
A variety of scanning resolutions.
Automatic calibration.
Magnification adjustments that allow you to optimize the area of the
imager used for your scan.
A KODAK Driver plug-in for Adobe Photoshop (Macintosh Computer).
A KODAK TWAIN Driver that provides access to the Scanner for the
growing number of TWAIN compliant PC applications (PC only).
Support for SCSI host adapters including ASPI Windows host adapters
such as those from Adaptec, Inc. running EZ-SCSI 4.01 or later
(PC only).
If your computer has a video card that supports 24-bit color, the image is
displayed in full color (16.8 million colors) on your monitor. If your video
card supports only 8-bit color, the image is displayed in 256 dithered
colors. If you are using a black-and-white system, the image displays in
black-and-white. Regardless of the monitor you use, the quality of the
scan (in 24-bit color) is not affected. In all cases the best possible image
supported by your hardware is displayed on your monitor.
1-2Introduction
G
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The KODAK Drivers are used to capture images from the scanned film
(negative or positive), and open that image data in a window in your
supported image editing software. You can then edit images and save
them as files on your computer hard disk.
NOTE: You may be able to use the Scanner on other computer platforms or with
additional operating systems, using drivers prepared by companies other than
Kodak, or by developing your own driver. Contact Kodak for information.
