Hi All
Now that HP, Canon and Epson are doing 2400dpi flatbeds with tranny
adapters, has anybody tried or seen any comparison between the three?
Especially dealing with film would be a plus.

AFAIK the film profiles are limited to those published by Kodak as PhotoCD

If the intent is to reproduce the slide image accurately, it would seem
to me other than some oddities due to CCD response, (such as the unique
Kodachrome dyes) having a lot of fancy profiles for reversal film
probably isn't that important.

I'm going to take this step by step, so that you don't have the wriggle

to get acceptable photo results from 100 dpi input, and I
Could be a faulty monitor, but could equally be a poor quality or faulty
cable from card to monitor, or poor quality/faulty video card.
One other thing to check is that you have the correct monitor profile
loaded. That can work wonders (I didnt believe it myself until I saw the
results)

Hello, I am looking for the best 4 shoot digital camera back; I guess today the 3
major players are Megavision, Imacon and PhaseOne.
I heard that basically the CCD is the same for all of them and each one claims the
best and easy to use software; I saw the demo of the Imacon 3020 and 4040

I can see that there is a lot more range in the negative films, but
still - should Velvia and Provia both be scanned under Generic?
Feels strange to me, although I admit that so
I think you would be doing the right thing by not using USM in SilverFast. As I mentioned before, I think it was intended for users who would be doing no further processing with Photoshop or other graphics software and were going directly to press with the scanned image. By using unsharp masking

I'm using the 4000 for the first time since an initial test to make
sure it worked properly. I've been trying Insight, Vuescan and
Silverfast 5.1 ai on a Win 98 box. So far all my scans are color
negs.
I don't really like the Silverfast interface - too many gizmos, and
the one scan I tried so
If you want to scan color negatives, you really need to upgrade Silverfast to 5.5 as its NegaFix film profile feature is a big improvement. Silverfast will output high-bit (48-bit) files, but it's a raw output. You have to do all processing on that file with Silverfast HDR, Photoshop, or something

To me, as a past Electronic Engineer, this sounds like analog
ringing; most likely caused by a poor video cable, or a poor video
cable connection, or a failing component in the video card (seems
unlikely) or a failing monitor (most likely).

t here is an Auto Sharpen filter and the USM
filter has many parameters, even seemingly beyond those in PS.
Don't use Auto Sharpen it's not good. Use the USM feature and prescan at up to 3 times the magnification if you need to see very fine
