Product Description

Product Description
High resolution film scanner has enhanced Multi-Exposure and Multi-Sampling for higher quality images... The Plustek OpticFilm 7300, is a dedicated 7200 dpi film scanner with Multi-Exposure (for negative film) and Multi-Sampling (brings out the best quality on photos and images). Improve Negative scans with Multi-Exposure Plustek OpticFilm 7300 bundles LaserSoft Imagings SilverFast 6.5 SE Plus software. This software is enhanced with Multi-Exposure, Automatic Frame Detection, SilverFast-Basic,NegaFix, Selective Color Correction, Auto Adjust, USM plus many many more features. (compare SilverFast models). What are benefits of Multi-Exposure? A scanner rapidly reaches its limits with a SINGLE scan of negative film. The objective of Multi-Exposure is to enhance the Dynamic Range which adds detail in highlights negatives and reduces 'noise' of scans from film material. Scanning interior images and capturing subtle nuances in the highlights and shadows is now possible with Plustek OpticFilm 7300. Multi Sampling To minimize noise, the Plustek multiple sampling function makes 4 scans during scan time. Since the noise patterns changes each and every scan, the image is averaged together and noise is canceled out if inconsistencies are present. See the photo below of a normal scan and Plustek MULTI SAMPLING scans. How does Multi-Exposure work? Multi-Exposure works best with film material (negatives). Film material, whether black & white or negative color film or slides, provides a very high dynamic range, because film manufacturers added more layers of different sensitivity. A well exposed and developed negative can hold up to 12 fstops (contrast ratio: 4000:1). Multi-Exposure for negative films means that the Dynamic Range can increase from 3.3 up to 3.5 with OpticFilm. This is a big improvement (eg. a dynamic range of 3.0 scan gives a contrast ratio of 1000:1; a dynamic range of 4.0 gives a contrast ratio of 10,000:1 obtainable by drum scanners.).

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well - but not perfect, 29 Mar 2008
By Wooster (Surrey) - See all my reviews
I'm working my way through scanning a lifetime of slides - over 2500. The 7300 does a workman like job using 'Quickscan' which gives little control over the final result. 'Intelliscan' is far too complex and long winded. I've used it a few times and simply gave up.

'Quickscan' results are fine, but may appear to lack contrast and depth. Remember that the amount of detail and colour in a slide is absolutely enormous, and (I'm sure)no electronic scan will ever capture the full depth of the original slide - at least, not at this sort of price.

I'm fortunate that I have software that came with my Nikon digital SLR that allows me to 'add contrast'. This improves 90% of the scans, but some don't respond.

The scanner is well built, and seems tough. The slide and negative carriers seem robust enough to last a long time.

To sum up: An excellent scanner, but don't expect to capture 100% of the full glory of your old slides.

One tip: Be sure to do regular back up of your scans. Scanning is a slow process - especially if you have a lot to do - and you'll want to know the time and effort isn't wasted if your computer fails.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for the price, 1 May 2008
By J. M. Tommey (Herefordshire U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Using with a Mac PC running OSX 10.5.2 I found this to be excellent and far in front of others at the price. I have now scanned some 1,000 slides using the simple preview method at 600 DPI and am fully satisfied.
A special few of my slides had been transferred from the old 2 1/4" square transparencies taken in 1948 and were in very bad condition. The Plustek and software dealt with all the rough stuff and a tweak with Photoshop and they were amazing.
I damaged the install disc and received a new one from Germany in 3 days free of charge. So excellent after sales too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much hassle, 24 April 2008
By S. Quinn "rainhead23" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had real problems getting this to work reliably, many times the device wouldn't be detected and wouldn't scan anything. The software included is rather confusing as you're not sure what program to use. The multi-exposure facility works great when it does work, got it to work on a slide and the results were very good. Tried it on a print and the image was a mixed up mess of multiple scans!
I thought this 7300 came with dust removal like the 7200i but I was wrong and you really need this for slides and negatives as I think the LED light magnifies the dust.
When the device works, you can get some great looking scans out of it for the price, but I spent too much time trying to get it to work so I took it back to the shop.

4.0 out of 5 stars Labour intensive, but worth the effort.
To get the best out of this scanner, you need to be prepared to lavish a little loving care on each slide. Read more
