Abstract
A method for digitizing images stored on film material has, after the image conversion by means of a digitizing device firstly an electronic color value correction independent of user inputs. A user-controllable correction and manipulation of the electronically stored information is subsequently carried out only after the electronic color value correction, which is effected in a manner dependent on properties of the digitizing device and on film material properties. The electronic color value correction depends on parameters which can be adapted to varying properties of the digitizing device. A film scanner adapted to this method has a digitizing device and also a device for controllable correction of the converted image data. A device of discrete construction for electronic color value correction is connected between the digitizing device and the device for controllable correction. An interface for reading in and reading out electronically stored correction data is connected to the device for electronic color value correction.
