filmscanners: Vuescan 7 and PS 6.01

Hi, can anybody help with folllowing problem: I used Photoshop6 as an external viewer in Vuescan. The scans have been opened in PS without problems. Since a few days, maybe since Vuescan 7 or PS update 6.01 , in PS the new file dialogue opens up after scanning and asks for the filesize and mode.

Dear Arthur, I've just experienced yet another photographic archiving lesson, this time rather a painful one, with a lesson for all of us about dependence on current technology. I have thousands of colour slides, taken from approx 1970-1991, and about 7800 of these are stored in Hanimex Rondex

filmscanners: Vuescan sharpening

2001-03-18 Thread Jeremy Nicholl
It's generally advised that sharpening should be the final step on a file before printing or publication, but Vuescan, like most scanning software, has a sharpen filter. Since I always end up doing some work in Photoshop I never use sharpen filters in scanning software. However, I'm curious:

The first question is if these are true glass negatives (the emulsion is directly placed on the glass plate) or if they are actually 4 x5" negatives on a film base that have been sealed between on or two pieces of glass usually with tape around the edges. If they are negative film which has been

Make sure you have the correct ASPI driver installed for your SCSI controller. This has happened to one gentleman on this list I think. Once he had the ASPI driver installed he scanner works. If you have Adaptec controller you may down load it free from Adaptec. Quoton SD M wrote: I had ME

Googling on "Hanimex Rondex" was in fact my first stop, but I found nothing relevant in the UK. Most of the hits I got were second order hits on Hanimex lenses. I imagine intercontinental transportation costs would be prohibitive, and probably not worthwhile on something that's worth

using Epson Expression 1600 - scanning BW 8x10 neg (processed in Pyro) - using color neg setup - Gold 400 - preview looks pretty good, but 24bit scan is much, much darker -- why? Also, though proper subdir is set for file output, if I go to Vuescan subdir to load a profile, my tif output ends

Hi! This is not really about sharpening in vuescan, but a reflection on sharpening in general. 1) Sharpening should be done before retouching the image, because sharpening causes many details to show up which have to be retouched. 2) Scanning itself introduces some unsharpness, I think it

No flames here... But, every book I've read on working with PhotoShop (and I have more invested in books than I care to think about) states that the application of sharpening (actually Unsharp Mask in PShop) should be the last thing you do before printing the image on the inkjet or whatever

1)The only details that show up would be the radius pixels the sharpening itself creates, which is exactly what we want. By sharpening initially we create these extra pixels. Thereafter, applying levels and curves alters all pixels including these new extra pixels, and the levels and curves
