Reflecta Crystal Scan 7200 + SilverFast SE 9
The reflecta CrystalScan 7200 is a compact elegant film scanner for home use where it's not about large quantities. Mounted slides can be comfortably inserted individually and film strips of any length (many a more expensive film scanners can't keep up with that) can be drawn in manually image after image. Additional wearing out film holders or adaptors are not needed. The integration of the dust and scratches removal ICE, the colour restoration ROC and the grain reduction GEM is sensational for the low price of the CrystalScan 7200. Usually these are features only of more expensive film scanners.
As you can read in our detailed test report a scan in the highes resolution takes about 8 minutes; that is a good speed compared to some other scanners, however still a long time. Additionally there is the time for the rework of the scans. If you don't have installed a good image editing program on your PC we recommend you Adobe® Photoshop® Elements for the post processing of your scans. The reflecta CrystalScan7200 provides an acceptable image quality, which can be increased using the SilverFast scan software. In our test report we come to a good price-performance-ration for the bundle with SilverFast SE Plus.
Please, choose above, below the price information, between the SilverFast version SE and SE Plus. The essential difference between the SE and the SE Plus version is the multi-exposure function of the SE-Plus version. Multi-exposure means that a photo is scanned with different exposures and that an optimal image is computed from the different scans. This partly leads to a significant increase of the image quality of the scans. More information about that function you can find on our SilverFast FAQ-site under Multi-Exposure.
In order to get the optimum image quality we recommend to operate the Crystalscan 7200 with the professional scan software SilverFast Ai. With the SilverFast IT-8 colour calibration you can individually colour calibrate your scanner and work in a professional colour management process. Thereby you increase image quality and you don't have to spend a lot of time for editing the images with an image editing software. That's why we offer the Reflecta CrystalScan 7200 in combination with the SilverFast scan software in a low-priced bundle.

On this page we present receommended accessories which help you a lot at your work scanning slides, negatives and photos.
When working with film strips it often happens that you accidentally touch the emulsion side of the film. The damage often is irreparable. You can avoid damages to the film material and comfortably insert film strips into the scanner or film holder by wearing fine cotton gloves.
|
Anti-dust spray is used to clean film material - no matter if it's mounted slides or film strips - by removing dust and fluffs with a flimsy current of air without touching the film material at all. There is no better, more comfortable and more efficient way to clean your film material. Additionally anti dust spray is suitable to clean the scanner from dust thus avoiding disturbancies in the scans.
|
For working with single negatives or positives or film strips we highly recommend using tweezers with flat shovels, because otherwise you run the risk of touching and damaging the film. Additionally, with such tweezers you easily take out film strips from archive sheets or photo bags.
|
If you work with digital images - no matter if they come from a digital camera or from a film scanner - you should calibrate your screen. Without a screen calibration performed with objective criteria you run the risk of wrongly adjusting the settings of the scan or the image editing software, which makes the image look right on your screen, but will cause unnatural alienated colours on other output devices (printer, image service, new screen).
