It does an unbelievably good job of restoring color to faded slides. Here is the description: Digital ROC Digital ROC (Reconstruction of Color) reads the dye signature in the base layer of faded slides and negatives and rebuilds the original color values based on data that it gathers during scanning. The resulting image is true to the original. This process is far more accurate than post-scan software solutions that attempt to guess at the original colors and tones. This software is also available separately from Kodak: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/professional/products/software/imgEnhancePlugIns/roc.jhtml?id=0.2.22.24.3.16.3&lc=en Hope this helps!
