Colour Restoration

Our photo scanning services 1Scan and Free Photo Scanning are powered by Kodak's s1220, and of course we get customer feedback. The most outstanding comment is how impressed clients are with the way fading colours are revived. Just by hitting a single button you can scan through an entire batch of photos allowing each image to be adjusted, with brilliant results. Alternatively you can apply the same function on an image by image basis if only a few need boosting.

I've used alternative photo editing software but nothing matches Kodak's option - typically they only operate on an image by image basis, a lot of manual intervention is required. For a commercial operation it isn't a viable option.

So when I read recently on another blog that Kodak "own" colour restoration I had to agree. Even the ROC feature (restoration of colour) on our Nikons is based on Kodak technology. Reviving faded colours, Kodak territory.
