Abstract
A system and method for calibrating a production film scanner is provided. The system and method provides for providing at least one first calibration frame on an intermediate film stock, providing at least one second calibration frame on a negative film stock, scanning the at least first and second calibration frames with a reference film scanner, scanning the at least first and second calibration frames with a production film scanner, and determining a compensation calibration factor from a first result of the scanning with the reference film scanner and a second result of the production film scanner.

A method for calibrating a production film scanner, the method comprising:
- providing at least one first calibration frame on an intermediate film stock;
- providing at least one second calibration frame on a negative film stock;
- scanning the at least first and second calibration frames with a reference film scanner;
- scanning the at least first and second calibration frames with a production film scanner;
- and
- determining a compensation calibration factor from a first result of the scanning with the reference film scanner and a second result of the production film scanner.
