Kodak DIGITAL ROC Pro
Kodak DIGITAL ROC Pro (ROC stands for "Restoration Of Colors") addresses the problem of color fading in photographs. Over time, both negatives and prints begin to acquire a distinct reddish or bluish tint that spoils their aesthetic effect. Once you have scanned the images into a computer, DIGITAL ROC Pro can correct even extreme color fading, making them viewable again.
Another application of DIGITAL ROC Pro is to correct color casts on images taken more recently under tungsten or fluorescent lights with daylight film. These have a yellow or whitish color that needs to be removed. Again, the software performs this specialist task very efficiently. It works with images from any digital source, but black-and-white images need to be scanned in RGB mode. DIGITAL ROC Pro can restore density and contrast to B&W pictures.
Comment
Countless millions of faded color prints languish in albums and picture frames all over the world. They can be saved if people scan them and correct their color before it is too late. Kodak DIGITAL ROC Pro is an excellent product for this purpose.
