Polaroid's Image
Quality Assured (IQA) imaging technology automatically evaluates
and color corrects your scanned image before it appears on the screen.
IQA uses the original image as its target, reducing "redo's" and
the need for color correction or enhancement. Automatic sharpening
and focus also take place during the scanning process. |
