 it output clearly superior scans to those produced by the Polaroid (or

 Have the Nikon scanners been mechanically reliable, in general? My Polaroid

 Thanks for any advice.

Hi Craig,

As far as I know, Polaroid themselves still offer support on the 120.
I too have one and spoke with their support people about 2 months ago and as
of then they were still offering support.

Hope this is of some help.

 Hi

 I have a Polaroid sprintscan 120; it must be about 2 years old. It has
 had quite constant use during that time - perhaps being operated 2-3
 times a week. Last week it developed a dark line/patch running the
 length of the frame. This is most noticeable in blue skies; I rescanned
 some earlier work to check the difference and it not present on those
 but appears on any new scans.

 Can anyone suggest what this is? A carriage fault or bulb? And being in
 the UK can anyone suggest a service centre etc? Can these things be
 repaired?

 Thank in advance

[filmscanners] Wanted Polaroid SS 120 Glass Film Holder in the UK

Can anyone in the UK please help.

I am trying to purchase the Polaroid SS 120 Glass Negative carrier to enable

I am still waiting for Polaroid UK to come through with one, and thought I

[filmscanners] Re: vuescan problem

2002-05-21 Thread Eric

John:

Ever since I started to scan color negatives with vuescan
(on SS4000) I periodically get scans that differ greatly
from the preview. Usually with a much narrower range of
values and odd casts, often a bright, almost solarized blue
cast in white highlights and more recently an overall green
cast. This makes batch scanning impossible because somewhere
in the strip the scans eventually start having these
properties.

I've encountered similar weirdness with Vuescan (don't remember the version
number I'm on, but it's about 2 months old.)  Usually only happens when
batch scanning.  Sometimes with BW, sometimes with color.  Instead of
getting a weird cast, I get an image that's totally unrecognizeable.  Looks
like the memory has been corrupted.  I actually saw this doing a single scan
for the time ever.  I was scanning all the negatives on a particular strip,
but scanning one at a time.  I ejected the film carrier, and did a new
preview and a new scan, and all was well.

I'm using the SS4000, too, on WinNT with 256 meg of memory.  I rarely scan
all the negatives in a single strip, so it's not a huge deal to me.  I'm
guessing that memory is being corrupted somewhere.  But ejecting the carrier
and re-inserting it helps.

I don't share your enthusiasm for this, but if you really want it you can
scan twice and combine in PS.

2002-01-31 Thread Eric

Tom:

I'm having a very strange problem when using Vuescan to batch scan slides on
my Polaroid Sprintscan 4000.  It ALWAYS scans slides 1 and 2 properly and
NEVER scans slides 3 and 4 properly, the registration is always off by at
least 1/2 of the 3rd slide and the scan of the 4th slide can be of an area
from anywhere on the carrier.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  If so how have you resolved it?
Ed Hamrick has been trying to help but so far nothing has worked.

I've noticed that before.  I think for me, it did 1-3 fine and 4-5 were
messed up like you describe.  I tried to redo just 4 and same result.
Shutdown and restarted Vuescan, and then it would do 4 and 5 fine by
themselves.

I rarely batchscan an entire strip anymore.  Usually, I just want a picture
or two, and I've had problems with dust sometimes lately.  So my work flow
is to scan a single image, bring it into Photoshop, verify there aren't any
dust lines running the length of the carrier, and then go on to the next
one.

But you aren't alone.  :)

[filmscanners] OT: problems installing SCSI card

2002-01-14 Thread Eric Etheridge

I'm trying to install an Adaptec 2906 card in my Gateway desktop and getting
a monitor/video card conflict. When the card installed, the monitor won't
come on when I boot up. I've tried booting with the scanner attached
(Sprintscan400) and with nothing attached; same result both time. When I
pull the card, everything goes back to normal.

My system is a little more than 2 years old; running Win98SE with a
flatscreen monitor and an ATI LCD Panel VideoCard Rev0. Device manager shows
one (and only one) IRQ channel free: 14.

Adaptec tech suggested booting without the scanner, but that didn't work.
His next suggestion was to try reordering PCI cards on the motherboard. I'm
wary of that. Hoping someone here has some guidance, on- or off-list.

Thanks

filmscanners: Rescans and archiving

2001-12-10 Thread Eric

I have a question for the group.

  I recently upgraded from a original  Photosmart scanner for 35mm film to a
Nikon LS-IV scanner.  I recently scanned about 100-200 images from a trip
and then changed scanners and monitors.  The Photosmart was  2400DPI scanner
and teh Nikon was a 2900DPI scanner.
  This past weekend I opened up some of the old scanned images and was
looking at them and noticed that there is a big difference in the scans
compared to new scans I have done with the Nikon scanner.

Question is.. IT is worth my time to rescan all those images again
It will take some time to do since I will have to fish them out again.

Secondly,  I have been burning my finished scans onto Verbatim CD-R discs.
But I have read and been recommended  recently that the Kodak Ultima CD-R 80
are better for long term storage.  Does anyone have a opinion on this?


Thanks

Eric
==



  Dare I say it, but the mistake here might be the belief that a 4000dpi
  scanner is actually capable of 4000dpi scans (or samples per inch, if
  we
  want to reduce confusion).
 
  Anyone got any hard evidence of the *actual* resolving power of these
  scanners?

 Objectively measured? No. AIUI it's pretty hard (ie expensive) to achieve,
 as conventional test target images don't work properly with digital
 systems. In any case, I am more interested in real-life use :)

 Empirically, yes - I have scanned several ISO100 originals on both
 2,700ppi and 4,000 ppi scanners. There is a difference, which is somewhat
 analogous to that between fast and fine-grain film but without the grain!
 At the same time it's obvious but subtle. The 4000ppi scans show better
 tonal smoothness and inner detail, though only look marginally sharper.

 Printed on the same Epson 1200, both are perfectly acceptable, especially
 in terms of sharpness, but the 4000 scan looks somehow smoother and
 clearer, whilst the 2700 appears almost slightly smeared or veiled. But
 you'd only really notice this in a side-by-side comparison. After carrying
 out this test, I concluded I wouldn't be bothering to rescan all the stuff
 I had done at 2700, apart from a few originals which had produced massive
 grain aliasing problems. 4000ppi is very much less sensitive to that.

 I suspect the Nikon mentioned was having a bad focus day.

 Well, I finally got around to picking up my Nikon Coolscan LS40ED this
 afternoon, and I'm very pleased with it.
 A surprisingly small machine (despite the *huge* cardboard box it came
 in!), it's produced some superb results so far. Installation was very
 easy - I plugged in the USB cable and XP immediately recognised it
 correctly and installed a driver. I installed Nikon Scan 3, and have
 already done a few decent scans. I particularly like the batch-scanning
 feature - just slipping a film strip in and letting the scanner do the
 rest (just what I wanted).
 A couple of questions:
 1. For some reason the batch scanning facility defaults to assuming that
 each strip has 6 pictures on it. That's fine, except that some of mine
 don't - and it generates an error for the 'missing' pics. A minor
 annoyance, but not the end of the world.
 2. Is VueScan going to be a better option for scanning than Nikon Scan
 3? What's the batch scanning handling like?
 Small questions, but all in all I'm very pleased so far. :-)

any thoughts?

not going to print them, yet, just scan and post on web and other things...

 Hi Eric;
 You're going to get conflicting answers from different folks on this list.
I
 have the SS4000 and love it and I wouldn't consider the other two for my
 purposes. If you think you may want to crop your images and you want to be
 able to make the largest prints you can out of the resulting file, you
will
 want the most resolution you can get. Every thing else being equal, 4000
dpi
 beats 2700 dpi for file size every time. You no doubt know that Polaroid
has
 filed chapter 11. You have to make your own judgement relative to that.
I've
 had my SS4000 for a year and a half and made hundreds of scans with great
 results and no problems. For me, ICE is a non issue because with the
SS4000,
 I wouldn't use it if I had it. If you have scratched slides or work in a
 dusty environment, you experience might be different. Oh yes, I sell fine
 art nature and wild life prints so I'm a little fussy.  Regards, Ron
Carlson

 Assuming you're using Mac OS 8.x to 9.x, remove the following files
 from the Extensions folder that's in your System folder, then restart
 your Mac:
 
Nikon LS4K Family
Nikon LS4K Expert
Nikon LS4K Driver
Nikon Common Driver
 
 If you later want to use NikonScan (either standalone or as a
 Photoshop plug-in) you have to copy these files back into the
 Extensions folder and restart your Mac again.

filmscanners: VueScan and Mac OS 9.x

2001-11-01 Thread eric . calderwood


Hello ,

Has anyone out there managed to get VueScan 7.1.25  ( or 7.1.26 ) working
with the Nikon 4000 ED ?

Ed has been very helpful , but i still cannot get VueScan running.

If i leave the Nikon extensions in then VueScan does not even see the Nikon
scanner , and
if i disable the Nikon extensions then the Mac freezes when i launch
VueScan.
If i remove just the Nikon 4k extensions then the Mac will not finish
booting and
locks up , forcing a reset with the button the front with the Nikon powered
off.

Can anyone help please ?

PS  If any replies off list please send to 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

so I can receive them at home , where the scanner is.

Best Regards
Eric

Hi,

I'd like to ask whether anyone has come across or created an ICC profile for the 
Minolta Scan Dual (not Dual II) and would be willing to share it.

Thanks,
