Easy-yet-powerful software
Kodak Picture Saver Scanning Software features a highly
intuitive, easy-to-use, icon-based interface and oers a variety
of automatic and manual image improvements. It’s a photo
scanner and document scanner in one, so it can also be used
to scan documents for your business and empower you to do
more with the information you capture.
• Kodak Perfect Touch Technology automatically delivers
fewer dark shadows, more vibrant colors and richer detail
on photo scans
• Built-in image processing enhances color/brightness/
contrast, removes red eye, and automatically rotates and
straightens images
• Smart Touch functionality lets you assign one-button
shortcuts to common scanning tasks to save time and
simplify operations
• Change settings mid-job for greater control over how items
are scanned and to enhance workflow
Streamline digital conversion of entire
photo albums
The Kodak Photo Selector Accessory option permits users to
extract individual images from a composite image (such as a
multi-picture photo album page) and have each image saved as
a separate digital file after scanning. Now fragile album pages
are protected, and there’s no need to risk damage to photos
by taking apart a complete album, removing pictures that may
have been in place for years, or even lifting the page protector.
The Photo Selector Accessory option requires purchase of a
Kodak Legal Size Flatbed Accessory or Kodak A3 Size Flatbed
Accessory, available at a very aordable additional cost.
