Re: How is the Kodak new RFS 3600 Scanner?

Is it out yet? I read about it in kodak homepage. Does anyone know anything more about this scanner? It seems like a great scanner for its price. All I can tell you is what I've been told secondhand. It's a Kodak-badged design from Pacific Image, allegedly, and although it can scan an

RE: Microtek Artix 4000T

The Polaroid is considerably cheaper than the Microtek at this time. I also like everything I've heard about their support. They seem extremely interested in improving their software offering, continually updating it. Silverfast is bundled with it now. I sent them email asking a couple questions

VueScan beta for Epson Scanners

I added support for Epson scanners to VueScan 6.3 beta 1, and I'd appreciate it if people could test it for me with a variety of Epson scanners. You can download it from: http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html If it doesn't work, could you: 1) Run VueScan 2) Turn on "Files|Output log file" 3) Exit

RE: hi-bit images

Dave - Why not spot the hi-bit image? Rubber stamp works in hi-bit mode, even in PS 5.5. That way, one can rescale/recrop/reuse the hi-bit another time, without spotting again. Richard Wolfson [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Dave King Neither can you print a hi bit image, so after you convert to 24

OK, it looks absurd, and isn't comfortable, but it's cheaper and more portable than a monopod, though not quite as effective But does sticking your monopod down the front of your trousers look any less absurd or any more comfortable? Al Bond

Vuescan mode

Vuescan "mode" detects the slide adapter for my LS-2000, and assumes "slide" while I am really scanning a (flatter) negative. Does Vuescan pass this "color positive" assumption to other parameters which would adversely affect the scanning of a negative??? I haven't found any implication

I've gotten e-mail from someone who took their LS-30 apart, and it has exactly the same 12-bit A/D converter chip that the LS-2000 has. It's _exactly_ the same hardware as the LS-2000. The only difference is the firmware, which only allows transferring 10-bits of the 12-bit data from

What about the "input" side for the uncut roll. Do you think one could bypass the input spool and feed in a 100-foot roll from a bulk loader next to he scanner? Sorry, I know no more than I posted and what appears on Kodak's website. Regards Tony Sleep http://www.halftone.co.uk - Online
