RE: filmscanners: Announcements for SS4000+
I was using OD and dynamic range interchangeably.
Polaroid has recently applied for patents on new software based dust and
scratch technology that you will be hearing more about soon. There will be
no hardware involved, the removal part of the technology only works on the
area of the dust particle and the user has some control over that area. It
is currently standalone but could be embedded or written as a plugin.

Yes David, you're probably correct, I just hoped there will me some kind of
ICE or similar
technology incorporated.
BTW, what do you mean OD ?
What about greater dynamic range ? Shall the difference be noticeable or
more theoretical also ?

It is real and in fact some members on this list are currently Beta testing
the unit. The SS4000+ has USB and firewire(with feed-through). OD is better
from 12 to 14 bits. Although the difference is real I think you would be
hard pressed to easily see that difference in an image at least from a
practical sense. Yes you may see it looking at pixel level in Photoshop but
on the printed image probably not.
Frankly if it was me I would purchase the current SS4000 given it great
value.

Anyone saw any announcements for new version of SS4000 (probably called
SS4000+ ) or just
rumors only ?
Sincerely,
Alex
