![]() When the profile loads it for the first time, Capture Connect presents an interface where you choose your provider, enter login credentials and browse for a cloud folder to store the scans in. To use Capture Connect, you must specify it as the destination in a profile - don't run it separately as it will fail. This isn't included in the software bundle and must be downloaded from Fujitsu's support site. The free Capture Connect app adds the ability to send scans to cloud providers such as Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive. These include hole filling, page rotation, blank page removal and front/back merging, where images from duplex scans are merged into a single page. However, as a start point, it does provide more initial colour data to start with and most professional level image editing packages such as Photoshop can handle 16-bit images.Capture profiles link up with the TWAIN driver where you can enable a heap of extra features. The 16bit per colour (48bit total input/output) is slightly misleading because as soon as the images are output to a printer or even brought into your editing software, images will be down sampled to the “normal” 8bit colour. Overall, scans are fast (though that depends somewhat on the PC system you’re using as well of course) and colour is accurate. Looking at the split screen-style scan provided (yes, it’s a very young “me” and a neighbours daughter on my dad’s old motorbike) with the test, the left half of the scan has no FARE applied to it and you can see how colour is improved and grain is reduced, dust suppressed and all without reducing fine detail. In fact, my three minute scans of 35mm framed slides at 2400ppi and 100% using FARE Level 3 at medium extended the total processing time to about 5-minutes. One down side is the greater amount of FARE processing used, the longer the scan time extends. Special processing algorithms then are applied as the scan is processed to remove defects and help to restore faded colour. FARE utilises a second scan pass using infra red light to accurately locate and identify dust, scratches and anything not part of the actual film grain. Scanning is fast but this depends on the original’s size and the scan resolution you’re using and whether or not you have applied FARE processing. Interpolated resolution offers a top whack of 19,200 x 19,200ppi scans but the massive file sizes – and the fact you don’t actually create that much extra detail – and the dramatically extend scan times make it an option only for those who require very large/high resolution scans or huge enlargements. Multiple scans can be done quickly and easily, the scanner is supplied with film scanning holders for four mounted, 35mm slides 12 unmounted negatives or slides and you get a film guide for up to four frames of 120-medium format slides or negs as well. There’s also ArcSoft PhotoStudio, ScanSoft OmniPage SE and Presto! PageManager. Slow on higher resolution scans that include the full FARE processingĪdobe Photoshop Elements 4 software is included (a superb image editing package and there’s the excellent LaserSoft package SilverFast SE to play with too) a neat and powerful stand-alone scanning package also available via the TWAIN menu in software such as Photoshop.Pocket-Lint Recommendation: Nintendo Switch.Pocket-Lint Recommendations: Xbox Console. ![]() ![]() Pocket-Lint Recommendation: Google Nest.Pocket-Lint Recommendation: Amazon Echo Devices.Pocket-Lint Recommendations: Fire TV Stick. ![]()
