I closely examined the calibration port on the negative film area, there is nothing in there to interfer. I also did a little vaucumning of the entry door on the scanwit and a squirt of compressed air to remove dust etc that may have found refuge in the scanner to no avail. The yellow/brown

I've had a number of niggling PC hardware problems using the Minolta software with my Scan Dual II, typically related to having the system hang with the film holder in the gut of the scanner (using a PC with [gulp] windows millennium), requiring a reboot. What's interesting about this is that

My first Minolta Dual II produced scans with severe banding that was probably due to faulty CCD - thick band of yellowish color located always at the same position within the frame. That scanner was returned for replacement. The second Dual II works flawlessly so far. Scans are very sharp with

As I have said before, I am new to scanning. I am in a learning mode. Working with flatbed scanners...HP ScanJet IIC Microtek SlimScan C6...with the HP Microtek bundled software...using both VuePrint Pro_32 and Photoshop 5.0, when I scan, I have to close out the HP or Microtek software to work

I assume you are opening VuePrint or Photoshop first and then using the Acquire menu item in the File list to start the TWAIN software and scan the image. I am not familiar with the HP or Microtek software so I don't know the answer to your question, but in my use of Corel PhotoPaint and the

I am annoyed that my Nikon LS-30 can't scan a whole 35mm frame. With my old Leitz enlarger I could project the whole 24x36mm frame, plus about 1mm of clear film all round. I used to print the whole frame, including the black border as evidence that the image was complete and uncropped. (Ah, the

Sadly, I suspect you are right about each PC being its own DNA code (to paraphrase), and we all know what percentage of success doctors run. It is obvious to most of us who use the equipment that this system of everyone writing their own software, changing libraries, and confounding hardware

I have to agree with Ed's comments. Wouldn't it be nice if products came with a diagnostic chip and buffer, that would record all basic information of conditions at a specific time (well, maybe not all, such as composition of air in the room, or how many beers the operator had consumed ;-)),

VuePrint and VueScan are different and separate programs - it sounds to me like you have only VuePrint. Go back to http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html and download VueScan - if you have paid the $40 to register VuePrint then VueScan is already registered as well, and if you haven't then you will be
