Hi,
If you like please take a look for some results obtained from FS4000.
I have shown influence of exposure control on dark slides scanning, and
results obtained for print films (no correction) and results of FARE activity.

I'm usre this is generally true, although I imagine there's such a thing as

I just released VueScan 7.2.2 for Windows, Mac OS 8/9/X
and Linux. It can be downloaded from:

What's new in version 7.2.2
* Added support for automatic image sizing and
cropping when using flatbed scanners
* Improved automatic cropping
* Added
I don't believe that the scanner is the limiting factor at the moment,
and that's why I'm looking at getting at least one better lens. I'm not
planning to buy a new scanner - I'd much rather spend the money on a new
lens!

I have a portable light table (light box?) that I use for viewing slides.
This is a Just-Normlicht Mini, with 5 x 8 illuminated area and a 5000K

put the light box (inverted) on top. Wouldn't this be sufficient to make

This was either a dumb question on my part, or it required a complex response. Which is

Hello Ed,
I use also the Microtek 5 wizard software and SilverFast 5.5; maybe is one of them who
create conflict? Is Vuescan running and needs special extensions? Do I need to keep
loaded specific Microtek extensions as well? OR Vuescan can also operate without
almost any extension?

* Fixed problem with CCD exposure = 6 on Canon FS4000
I have two questions about exposure in Vuescan,
1. should I select long exposure pass + RGB exposure
2. how the numbers 1-6 refers to stops (e.g. in filmGet you can select from
-2stops to +2stops)
I was trying to scan dark slides (2stops
I think that examples shown at
http://ket5.tuniv.szczecin.pl/tc_www/photo/FS4000/index.html
will answer your question.
By increasing exposure (With vuescan and/or filmGet) you can reduce noises
obtained for underexposed slides.

Hi, on the back of the transparency adapter
hiya there,
I have a quick question for the group here.
I am looking for a new slide scanner.. Right now I have a Photosmart
scanner with Vuescan software and it works ok, but with tough slides or dark
slides they don't scan quite that well.
I have been looking at three different scanners.
Ed,
You're spoiling me:) I don't know if recent improvements are the
reason or I just didn't try hard enough before, but I'm getting better
color neg Agfa T-2500 scans with VueScan now than FotoLook. The
SS4000 for 35mm and the T-2500 for anything bigger are both running
VueScan and happy.
I finally got my Scanwit in and have been puttering around with it.
Question for Ed Hamrick - it seemed that I needed to load the Miraphoto
application to get Scanvue to recognize the scanner. Having loaded the
appropriate SCSI card driver and getting the device recognized by Windows
wasn't
Thanks for your efforts in putting up those samples Tom - it does appear that you get
less noise using this method.
But it also looks like the extra exposure has blown the highlights pretty badly, so 2
merged exposures would be required. Unless Vuescan's abilities can do it all in one..?

Nothing in the same league. If I was using Leica/Contax primes,
I'd probably need 4000ppi to get the best scans -

How do you put a +2 in filmget or getfilm??
Having followed the comments on this list for several months now, it appears to me that
the FS4000 has had the least problems as experienced by other users, when compared to
SS4000 (after sales warranty) and Silverfast (upgrades), depth of field with Nikon etc,
and the price is right. I have seen
Someone feel like expounding briefly on the multiple pass technique?
I'm using Vuescan and a FS2710, slides and both color and BW negs.
What is the purpose and what determines the number of passes you set?
I tried a couple at 2 passes, and saw no noticeable effect, although
I'm not at all sure

Ah, yes. Seriously, DO chase a better lense! The Contax 50/1.4 is a
cheapie and any of the Contax lenses are in the same league as Leica glass.
It's Zeiss glass...and they are superb performers, most any of them, and
about 1/3rd to 1/4th the price of Leica glass.
I'd love to, but
I'm going to read Wayne Fulton ro get clear on the difference between
sharpen and unsharp mask, but PSP 7 has an adjsutment called
Clarify which looks sort of like a combination of contrast and
sharpness adjustment. Anyone know exactly what it does?

Not particularly, but nearly all of my Nikkors are at least pretty
good, and some of them are excellent. The softest 35mm lens I own is

due to a noisy filmholder feed.
