[filmscanners] Polacolor Insight version 5.5.x

["Hemingway, David J" <HEMINGD@polaroid.com>]

Hopefully my late next week PolaColor Insight 5.5.x will be post on the
support section of www.polaroidwork.com. As usual this latest version is
available at no charge by download. This version has dropped support for the
Sprintscan 35 scanners and the Sprintscan 45/45Pro. There are previous
version supporting these scanners available for download.
The new features are as follows:

1. Support added for the SprintScan 4000 Plus scanner - This scanner
features
Firewire (IEEE 1394) or USB connections and offers a color bit depth of
14-bits per channel.

2. SprintScan 120 interframe gap support - On the Preview tab, a new Media
type now allows
you to preview an entire 6 x 24 cm, medium format film strip. This provides
greater flexibility
in finding and cropping all medium format film sizes. Note: In this version
of the software,
you are still limited to scanning a maximum length of 9 cm. Panoramic
formats will be fully supported in the next release of PolaColor Insight.

3. Resampling - If you scan at less than the scanner's optical resolution,
you can now select
an interpolation method, which will let you produce a higher quality low
resolution scan.

4. New Film Profiles - New color slide profiles have been provided for all
supported scanners.
This feature adds better color fidelity and reduced noise in dark colors.

5. Additional Preferences - A new Preference allows you to turn off rotation
on final scans.
This can speed up the processing of large images. Edit menu > Preferences >
Scan tab.
