 PROFILE
You won't find Applied Science Fiction's products at Star Trek conventions. The company licenses its intellectual property in the field of digital imaging to makers of scanners and film processing systems. Its Digital ICE3 (ice-cubed) system is used to improve the quality of scanned images by removing scratches and other defects, enhancing faded colors, and sharpening the grain. The company's digital film processing system -- aimed at the photographic finishing equipment market -- processes film negatives directly into digital form without the need for wet chemical development. Founded in 1995, Applied Science Fiction counts Nikon among its customers.
