Method and device for identifying and/or correcting defects during digital image processing

A method for correcting defects during digital image processing using the following steps:

• Conducting the energy of a light source (2) to a storage medium (10) in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum and generating a multitude of visible images by determining the energy from the storage medium (10), characterized in that an additional visible image is generated in the at least low density range of the storage medium (10), which contains defects and/or fluctuations in brightness during image recording, and correcting of the visible image by combining it with the additional visible image.

A device for identifying defects during digital image processing with a device (4 to 9) for conducting the energy of a light source (2) to a storage medium (10) in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum and with a device (12) for generating a multitude of visible images by determining the energy from the storage medium (10), characterized in that a device (16, 84, 88) for generating an additional visible image in the at least low color sensitivity range of the storage medium (10) is provided, whereby the additional visible image contains defects and/or fluctuations in brightness during the recording of the image.
