A color separation scanner comprising a movable support arranged for mounting thereon of a two-dimensional input picture to be scanned and color separation sensing apparatus arranged for sensing the two-dimensional input picture for providing electrical signals representing color separations of the two-dimensional picture, the color separation sensing apparatus including a scanning head having a plurality of generally parallel CCD arrays, associated with dichroic filter means and operative for simultaneous scanning of the two-dimensional input picture.

Color separation scanner

A method of color separation scanning an input picture includes the steps pre-scanning the input picture at a lower resolution for providing a lower resolution image on an output device, indicating desired geometric manipulations to be performed on the input picture, and scanning the input picture at a higher resolution in accordance with the desired geometric manipulations to provide higher resolution color separations of the input picture. After the pre-scan, a point of the lower resolution image may be selected and a second pre-scan conducted at higher resolution over a region around the selected point to permit evaluation and modification (if desired) of sharpness prior to final scanning.
