filmscanners: Device Profile in VueScan

2001-06-05 Thread Ramesh Kumar_C
Hi I use Minolta Dimage Dual II with Vuescan. In VueScan, Is it good to use RAW scan or Scan with DeviceProfile? In VueScan, If I select Device Profile, is it the profile of the scanner? In my PS6.0, I see two profiles related to Minolta Dimage Dual II , but none on Vuescan.

I would love to see a scanner that can scan from film edge to film edge, not just the exposed frame in the middle. That's because I'm scanning negatives which have a serial number exposed on the film outside the sprocket holes and it would be great to get that on the raw scan. Dave Suurballe

For Win95/98/me/w2k(aka nt5): The scsi devices need to be turned on prior to booting only if it requires the scsi bios to be loaded -- bios only needs to be loaded for disk/bootable devices. So for scanners, no need to do so. Just use the device manager and click on refresh. For nt/Win3.x:

To the best of my knowledge Device Profile applies to Scan and to RAW scan. As to your second question, yes - Device Profile transfers the profile of the scanner. Vuescan itself does not apply a Vuescan profile. Maris - Original Message - From: Ramesh Kumar_C [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

Hi Ed, Again, not to be argumentative, but, I do understand it is the same CCD. That isn't the issue. We know that, for instance, typically the blue scan is noisier than the green or red, right? I have no idea what type of response the infrared sensitivity of the CCD is, but I'm (guessing)
