Vuescan does multiscan as well. Cheap scans are almost always garbage. A half-decent dedicated 35mm scanner or a decent flatbed (for MF) will produce greatly superior scans for not too much money.
My Minolta Scan Dual IV ($250 on eBay) and Epson 4870 (couple generation old high-end flatbed) produce excellent results with not too much difficulty. With film, you either have to pay through the nose for good scans or do them yourself. The second option is cheaper but time consuming. -Adam On Wed, Sep 15, 2010 at 9:38 AM, Thibouille <pentaxl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Larry, I dunno if your scaner is supported but Silverfast does > multipass scanning which should be useful. > > 2010/9/15 Larry Colen <l...@red4est.com>: >> >> On Sep 14, 2010, at 11:14 PM, P.
