Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED  Review
ROC Image Examples

The following 3 image sequence was scanned from a faded Ektachrome side dated 1959. This slide was kindly donated by an interested third party. Each image has the corresponding Photoshop histogram of the full size image embedded near the bottom center of the image. The only image adjustment was +.2 of gamma correction in Photoshop. Nikon Scan's default color and exposure selections were used for each scan. Each image can also be seen as a 2655X1788 pixel low compression JPEG at about 450K by clicking on the smaller image. The first image has had no ROC (restoration of color) applied. The second image had ROC applied at level 5 and the third image had ROC applied at level 10. You can apply ROC  in increments of 1 between 1 and 10. Just like GEM, ROC is a post scan process.


No image processing


ROC at level 5


ROC at level 10, the maximum
