(2) (Card Information S scanner that is bus-powered with up to 2400 x 4800 dpi - the new CanoScan(R) LiDE(TM) 80 Color Image A (digital) color image is a digital image that includes color information for each pixel. For visually acceptable results, it is necessary (and almost sufficient) to provide three samples (color channels Scanner. Appealing to style-conscious users in need of a serious scanner, the new flagship model features high image quality in an ultra-slim design. "With the LiDE 80 scanner, we continue to deliver new and innovative digital imaging and scanning technologies that meet the needs of today's customer," said Yukiaki Hashimoto, senior vice president and general manager of the Consumer Imaging Group at Canon U.S.A., Inc. "Our new scanner provides consumers and small business owners with a versatile, high-resolution scanner that fits the decor of virtually any environment." The LiDE 80 joins Canon's family of slim-line scanners as the flagship model in the LiDE (LED InDirect Exposure - LiDE) series of scanners. The LiDE scanners use a small, low powered LED light source and the integration of lens elements directly on the scanning sensor to substantially reduce the number and size of individual components needed to produce a scanner. This results in a slim-design that is lightweight and feature rich for the consumer. This scanner is the first CIS scanner in the world with up to 2400 x 4800 dpi for high resolution scanning. Single-pass scanning technology and 48-bit color (both input and output) provide both fast and detailed scans with smooth gradation gradation: see ablaut. and more than 281 trillion possible colors. It will also be the world's first film capable bus-powered CIS scanner on the market. The LiDE 80 will come with a film adapter unit (FAU FAU Florida Atlantic University FAU Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo (Portuguese: Architecture and Urbanism College) FAU Friedrich-Alexander-Universität (Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany) FAU Film Adapter Unit ) as a no-cost standard accessory that will allow the user to scan a 35 mm un-mounted frame (positive or negative) at up to 2400 x 4800 dpi. The scanner also is the first CIS scanner to use Canon's exclusive Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement (FARE(TM) Level 2). This is the next generation of Canon's built-in automatic retouching technology that has previously only been featured on CCD CCD in full charge-coupled device Semiconductor device in which the individual semiconductor components are connected so that the electrical charge at the output of one device provides the input to the next device. scanners. This technology builds on Canon's previous FARE and FARE Level 1 dust and scratch removal benefits and adds two additional features - Grain correction and Fading correction - for more productivity and even better quality of scans. FARE Level 2 also helps deliver high quality scans from damaged originals and increases support for Kodachrome film. The Fading correction feature examines originals with faded color and intelligently rebuilds color quality, for example saturation where required, restoring the image to its near original pre-faded color balance In photography and image processing, color balance (sometimes gray balance, neutral balance, or white balance) refers to the adjustment of the relative amounts of red, green, and blue primary colors in an image such that neutral colors are reproduced correctly. .
