Hi Ian Thanks for the tips, appreciate your help. I think I need to buy that whole IT8 page - most of the emulsions I use have dedicated targets. Are these targets good and have you compared results to those from the likes of Fuji et al?
I had looked at Vuescan when I got the Dimage but at the time, Ed was still developing the drivers and I thought I'd wait until it had been tested and bugs ironed out. That is an attractive feature because I would prefer to have individual control over ICE/Grain/Pixel Polish. I've noticed the softness with the scanning as well, I had a naturally lit portrait and it scanned looking as if I'd focused on the person's ear versus their face so I started experimenting. I find that even if you target an area for focus using autofocus, it prescans fine but in the final scan it's a bit softer. I just manually control it as you suggest but its interesting that you say that because I thought that perhaps the transparency wasn't completely even and maybe the scanner had focused on a slightly uneven part but it seemed fine. Thanks Alex >>I do however recommend you get an it8 target from http://www.targets.coloraid.de and purchase a serial for vuescan. Ed has now managed to program =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
