Be sure to defragment the D drive for optimum performance. I don't think having a dedicated PS scratch disc will speed up your scan time, but it will improve working speed in PS if you've been experiencing a lot of disc activity in the past. Saving files in PS native format (.psd) greatly improves opening and saving files (on a Mac it does anyway). Save as compressed format when you've finished correcting the file. .psd is also the best format for such programs as Portfolio which takes an age to open tiff's. More RAM will give you fastest speed improvement in PS but you probably know that already. -- Regards Richard // | @ @ --->>> Richard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> C _) ) --- ' __ /

Re: filmscanners: Do any scanners have what I need?
Hi Dave, I don't know that I have any "good" advice for you... but I can tell you that in terms of desktop film scanners, the majority do not have the type of design you need to thread long film lengths through. The new Kodak model, the RFS-3600, is designed to accept film across the bed, so that both sides are open, which should, in theory allow for unlimited film length (this may be a problem in terms of the software, however). I believe there are a few people who are now using this scanner who are on this list, so they might be able to provide you with some details about it. There are some low end film scanners which also were designed with the scan bed designed to allow for unlimited film lengths. Do you have some idea of your budget for this application? That might be helpful in terms of directing you toward a specific product.

Re: filmscanners: infos on Nikon LS 2000 or Microtek 4000T
There seem to be some Photoshop tools which don't quite work in "real time". The tool I typically find that makes me feel like I'm in "delay" mode, is the smudge tool. I'm using a Celeron 500 with 384 megs. I've just learned to avoid that tool.

Re: filmscanners: Vuescan scratch removal
Hi Ed!
I have worked with GIMP's despecle filter which works very well. In my
opinion much better than the one in Photoshop 4 LE. I seldom use, however,
other than on sky, because it softens the image and removes grain.

Hi Ed et Al. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I assume Acer fixed the multi-pass registration problem of the ScanWit 2720, > since the > dust removal won't work right if the infrared and color passes aren't > perfectly aligned. The mechanism of the 2740 appears identical to the 2720. I think the problem is the way that Acer address the mechanism. There's a fast, coarse motor that moves the carrier from frame to frame, and a fine stepper that does the scan. The fine stepper has excellent repeatability, but Acer seem fond of slamming the carrier backwards and forwards using the coarse mechanism for no apparent reason, whenever a frame has to be re-positioned. (If Acer's software designers had a brain cell between them, then the other scanner vendors would have to start worrying.) Despite all the unecessary toing and froing of the carrier, the digital ICE works very well, and it doesn't seem to interfere too badly with the sharpness of areas that don't have any blemishes. You can quite easily see where the detail is smudged around large particles of dirt in the attached clips. (These are 200% screen grabs BTW.) The timing for the ICE scan was 5 minutes and 10 seconds at full frame, 24 bit, 2700dpi. Without ICE the same scan was done in 54 seconds. The computer used was a 500MHz job with 320Mb of RAM. Regards, Pete.
Re: filmscanners: infos on Nikon LS 2000 or Microtek 4000T
Hi. > scanning > Is there a good rule-of-thumb for the amount of RAM needed for scanning & > editing files at different resolution in Photoshop. This is probably "more > is better," but are some specific recommendations on this? I've found that anything less than 256 Mb slows down scan acquisition noticeably, and limits batch scanning severely, especially if Photoshop's involved. However, the semiconductor manufacturers have given us a nice Xmas present this year. The price of RAM has recently dropped significantly below 50 pence per Meg for the first time in a long time. (Makes a change, prices usually go UP for the festive season.) Cheapest option seems to be 128Mb SRAM at PC133 speed. I just picked up a slab for 47 quid. Bargain! A nice little stocking filler, if Santa hasn't done all his shopping yet. Regards, Pete.

Everything I've heard about this scanner has been bad. While they're working, the results are about as good as you could expect from an 1800dpi, 24bit scanner apparently. The problem is reliability. One user put up a glowing report of the Primefilm on another BB, and then rescinded it a few days later after his scanner went wrong. After getting through 3 exchanges in about as many weeks he gave up and got something else. I've had quite a few similar reports from ex-primefilm users who've traded up to the Acer Scanwit. > > I have a couple hundred 100-foot rolls of 35mm negative It might be interesting to see whether a Primefilm would actually last long enough to scan a 100' roll!

You should make sure that the video mode is set for 32 bit colour. The speed difference between 24 bit and 32 bit mode is remarkable with some cards, with 32 bit mode being much faster. Although this seems back-to-front, the speed difference is due to the way that the video data is handled by the processor and the data bus. I've found the 2D performance of the 3Dfx chipset cards impressive. Scrolling and redraws seem to take no time at all in Photoshop5.5. > How big a graphics card is needed for a 1024 x 768 screen resolution? Only 4 megabytes. Regards, Pete.
filmscanners: VueScan 6.4 Available

Re: filmscanners: Vuescan scratch removal
What's GIMP? I'm interested because of the alaising and/or noise that I'm getting on skin tones (especially fair skin). I'm scanning negs and am wondering if this is a normal problem when scanning negs or if it is because of the bottom dollar ScanWit scanner that I bought?

filmscanners: Vuescan with GEM
Ed, The "grain aliasing problem" has been discussed on this list many times. Applied Science Fiction has, in addition to Digital ICE, something called Digital GEM (currently available in the Minolta Scan Multi II) that is supposed to alleviate grain problems. You have done an excellent job improving on the Digital ICE algorithm so I wonder if you have given any thought to adding something like GEM to Vuescan? By the way, I know, and use, the many mostly inadequate methods such as Gaussian Blur, Edge Preserving Smooth (in PSP7), etc. The problem is most acute, in my experience, in negative scans in areas like the sky. If you could make major improvements to this problem in Vuescan without the softening, etc. side-effects of the filters mentioned above then Vuescan would take another giant step forward.

RE: filmscanners: VueScan 6.4 Available
Ed: I really like the new buttons in 6.4 for preview, scan and abort. It seems that the scan and preview buttons only work from the device and not memory. Memory is a great feature for playing around to get the perfect scan. It would be great to have two buttons for scan- one for device and one for memory. If you are worried about real estate, I could live with two buttons that are 1/2 the size of the one there now. Great program, but I'm sure you hear that a lot. Doug Wise [EMAIL PROTECTED]

filmscanners: Re: GIMP info
Hi! The info was mostly intended for Ed Hamrick, but here is a short info on GIMP. GIMP stands for the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It's available mainly for UNIX-es, including Linux, but has been ported to Windows, too. It's similar to PhotoShop mostly, and very feature laden, but lacks color management and is said not to be really useful for YCMK work. It contains a filter for removing dust and scratches which I find very useful, and also a pretty good sharpening filter. The greate value of GIMP, besides beeing free, is that it's available in source code.

filmscanners: hard drive setup

I got the thing installed and formatted... now I need to know how to set it up so that I get the most benefit out of it with PS, Vuescan and my software for my Minolta Elite... I will for sure be using it for image storage, with the actual programs on the C drive (the new one is D)... but how do I get Photoshop to use the new D drive whenever it needs to while processing the image...
