Film scanners are devices made for scanning photographic film directly into a computer without the use of any intermediate printmaking. It provides the photographer has direct control over cropping and aspect ratio from the original, unmolested image on film; and many film scanners have special software or hardware that removes scratches and film grain and improves color reproduction from film. Film scanners can accept either strips of 35 mm or 120 film, or individual slides.
