what you have said previously and what you now say you did that corrected the
problem, I would say that you have something in the scanner which is
either a loose part that tends to move from vibration or the movements of
the scanning device causing interference with correct operations

Yes, claim it now to Minolta. The worst that can happen is that they deny
the claim, but at least you will have a record of having made the claim
before the warranty period expires.

Good, I'm glad I haven't fully "lost it" yet ;-)
Two comments.

in CCD scanners.

The ability to do a separate and independent grain reduction *would* be an

Hi Lynn,
I don't think it's off topic at all. As a former VueScan unuser, I now use
it all the time on both scanners and welcome Ed's feedback to the forum.
After all, isn't that what this forum's about.

Thanks Arthur,

Hi Vlad,
I do see the striping in the sky you speak of. There are a few
possibilities I can think of that could cause this. When you say the
problem seems to occur as the scanner is used during a session, is it
possible something other than the scanner is also heating up (like the

Most scanners use some type of "Advance to frame X" command,
while the Nikon LS 30/40/2000/4000/800
Seems to me the easy way to test is take a blank piece of mounted slide
film, draw a bunch of grid lines on it with a thin marker, (or use a
sharp razor knife and embed the lines) and then scan it. No camera lens
involved, so the whole field of the slide should have equal focus.

Hi Jerry,
If these spots are in an area that can be isolated, and they are
different enough from the rest of the area, you can do a few different
things in Photoshop (I believe in LE also) to fix it.

Grain removal has nothing to do with the infrared channel. The

I just wonder how this scan alignment works:
does the software give a command: "advance to frame X" or

because if it is the latter, it would perhaps be possible to test the
