[filmscanners] RE: VueScan Suggestions Needed
The latest post regarding the LCH mode for Nikonscan ... which, as I understand, is a color space editing mode, independent of RGB color space, reminded me to ask ... does anyone see any benefit if Vuescan were to adopt a similar intermediate space??? I.E., ... raw RGB=LCH=final color space I have to do my homework regarding LCH (... luminosity, chromacity, hue(???) ...)and its benefits, but Lab space would be another possibility ... plus, I imagine, it would be a lot of work for Ed(?) cheerios ... shAf :o) Avalon Peninsula, Newfoundland Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body

Yep, I'm happy bringing a flat hi-bit Vuescan into PS to do final color/tone correction. I set up Vuescan to get all the tones the scanner can get, and then I use the shift up/down arrow trick to dial in the final correction. It's very helpful and shows you where things are at quickly. I also like to use the color balance feature using the shift up/down technique. I start with shadows and try up and down on every color, then highlights, and last midtones. With a calibrated monitor this shows quickly where corrections may still be needed, and then if you want you can implement what you've just learned with a curve and still protect highlight detail. The interesting thing is a hi-bit Vuescan with final corrections in Photoshop is a better starting point than any other scan driver I've used in terms of natural color and accuracy. Something about the intrinsic accuracy of Vuescan?

Sliders become much less interesting, then. They can retain their function as gross manipulators.

I'll try to combine these suggestions and summarize them to the list. Could people e-mail these suggestions to me directly to keep from cluttering up this mailing list? Ah, well, if we can chat about hifi here, I can't see that enhancement suggestions would be too off-topic. And besides, some suggestions might act as catalysts to remind other people of stuff they'd like to see! Agreed. And, I do think there's not enough on the subject of Fuji Frontier printing.

I second this idea, if it is practical.

After working with them a bit I find they're good for making gross shifts in settings but not so good for finer ones, which I frequently need. I find myself resorting back to simply highlighting and entering the setting I want after I get relatively close with the slider. (again, the addition of the histogram has made scanning much, much easier). I would suggest that in addition to or instead of the sliders, having what I believe they call 'spinners'. These are little up and down arrow keys that increment or decrement (is that a word?) the setting, by individual 'clicks' or by holding the arrow key down and spinning through to the setting you want. Is it possible to have both sliders and spinners? If this product gets much better we'll be complaining that it should be loading slides automatically while we're in the bathtub! -- John Matturri words and images: http://home.earthlink.net/~jmatturr/ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
