A real-time automatic image scanning system for optimizing the optical quality properties of photographic image digital capture, utilizing a knowledge database containing photo and scanner calibration standardized properties 22 and utilized during scanning operations. The actual photo media being scanned is pre-sampled and compared to the available known characteristics for said photo media 116. Media selection is automatically detected and deviations in color response and exposure from the standard are analyzed and optimized to those settings available from the scanner device properties. The scanner is then instructed to perform a scan of the photo media according to the now optimized custom photo media values with automatic adjustment to match the available scanner hardware optical properties 20. The raw image data directly returned from the scanner are optimized to the film media type's natural optical resolution, color fidelity, and focus requirements, having been matched to the capabilities of the scanner.
