Re: filmscanners: VueScan Long Exposure Pass

2001-05-04 Thread Steve Greenbank
I believe some scanners (SS4000/A4000T) do not position themselves too well for multipass - so this is of limited use. I just tried 8x MP with the artixscan 4000 and there are echos in the image. The result is pretty useless. I just tried 8x with long exposure (for completeness) and there

I previously mentioned that I had been suffering some problems with noise with the artixscan 4000. I have been trying to scan (with both Silverfast and Scan Wizard Pro) a slide that is high contrast that looks great when projected. I have been unable to get a usable scan particularly in the

Hi James Never used the 1640, but I noticed the UK computer magazine liked it whilst having a free browse at Smiths. It was up against some proper film scanners as well as flatbeds. I didn't read it properly and I am not always too impressed with their reviews. They may even have preferred it

There are two issues involved scanning head speed and data transfer speed. Unless you have dual interfaces it would be difficult to tell if the scanning head is held back by a slower interface. If you consiser a full resolution scan of A4 you get approx 11(inch)*8(inch)*2400*4800*6(16 bit
