Thanks, Mike. I have these files from my Win Me(I'm dual booting until Win 2K is running properly). When I just copy the file to my win nt system folder, I still get the same message(can't find the SCSI board). Maybe I have to reinstall the AdvanSys ASCSI card after I do this?? I tried the Adaptec installer, but it just said I don't have an Adaptec card. Polaroid SS4000 FAQ shows that I should be installing NTASPI32(not WNASPI32, I guess, although it is unclear on their FAQ).

RE: filmscanners: USB and data transfer as a constraint on time needed to scan
I work both with Elite/SCSI and Dual II/USB and I see very little difference (if any) in scan speed. Each will take app. 3 minutes for full res scan (With ICE in case of Elite). My machine is Celeron 450 with 320MB memory, scan time was measured with freshly restarted WIN98SE and no app. running in the background. Minlota's tech spec. indicates 45 s (Elite) - but I did never even come close to this number. With very dark negatives it grows up to even more than double (6 minutes) and I can hear how the scanner radically slows down - so I suppose (IMHO) neither transfer channel nor the speed of computer (at least 450 MHz Celeron) is an significant issue. With my old HPS20 (2400 DPI) which was also USB - but I think it didn't have variable exposure, these times were constant - app. 1 min. 40 secs for full scanwrite to the disk.

The new Nikon and Minolta scanners use USB rather than SCSI to communicate with the computer. Since USB has a lower data transfer rate than SCSI, I was wondering wether this makes any difference for the overall amount of time needed to complete a scan. Is data transfer speed the limiting constraint on the amount of time needed to complete a scan, or is there some other aspect of the scanning process that constrains speed? ... I would believe a scanner is faster than USB, but not by much. The primary time constrant should be that of exposure ... that is, image brightness values are more dependent on what the CCD needs for integrating the signal, rather than how fast the data can be sent to the computer. shAf :o) --- Prchoz zprva neobsahuje viry.

filmscanners: VueScan USB support on Mac OS
I just thought I'd drop a quick note to let the Mac users on this mailing list know that I now have VueScan working with USB scanners on Mac OS. I'll release this in the next 24 hours as VueScan 6.7.3, but I thought people would like to know the good news. It was quite hard to do (I probably spent 100 hours on this), but it now works reliably, even with multiple USB scanners hooked to the same computer. There's a bit of a problem with some flatbeds (i.e. Agfa SnapScan e50) that can't disable the button polling, but Epson USB flatbeds and the Minolta Scan Dual II work nicely. Regards, Ed Hamrick P.S. The HP S20 doesn't work on Mac OS however, since the only way I can talk to it is via an HP .DLL file on Windows that isn't available on Mac OS.

Of course, I'm not a programmer, so maybe it takes genius to do even that...

filmscanners: RE: Help: Trouble with UMAX Powerlook 1100 Scanner
I am trying to help a friend setup a UMAX Powerlook 1100, on a Windows ME machine. The connection is Firewire. When attempting to install the MagicScan software, we encountered a problem with the "umaxusd.dll" file, as documented in UMAX knowledgebase article SC00166. We were able to resolve this issue, but the MagicScan software could not link with the scanner. When I checked the "Scanners and Cameras" control panel, there was no scanner listed. When I attempted to add a scanner, I chose the appropriate model from the list, then was presented with a choice of ports: COM1 or LPT1 (neither of which apply -- firewire). I chose COM1 anyway, and the Add Scanner wizard would not complete because it said the scanner name (I had accepted the default name) already existed, though there were no scanners listed. UMAX knowledgebase article #SC00144 stressed the importance of finding the "SBP2" device in the System control panel. This device was not present, and when I used the "Add Hardware" control panel to add this device, it appeared to work OK, but never appeared in the Device Manager tab of the System control panel. His computer is a Compaq Presario 5900T that does not use the PCI OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller; instead, it uses an embedded controller from Texas Instruments, which is inconsistent with article #SC00144. He also had more driver files and a newer driver date than indicated in #SC00144. There are no instructions in #SC00144 for adding the SBP2 device, though this article is assuming Win 98SE rather than Win ME. Has anyone had a similar experience or a solution?

The problem is not the printer since I am seeing the objectionable color on the monitor as well. These sorts of deviation from neutrality (and different colour casts at different densities) are very common. Vuescan manages to reduce them on most films far more successfully than any other s/w IMO. However unfortunately I don't think Ed has managed to reverse-engineer USB as found in the Dual Scan 2. The only way to cope (without profiling software) is to edit the R,G B gamma curves manually, and individually to give a more neutral result. This will drive you half crazy, but once you've done it you can save the curves (in PS anyhow), and they'll be re-useable for other images on the same film. Thanks. I did do the individual RGB adjustments to the best of my abilities. It was fun seeing what could be done, but my result was still imperfect. Does the darkroom still rule? Or will I eventually learn to beat this problem? -Berry

Marc Pawliger [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] posted a message on the Photoshop Discussion List which read as follows: A number of Mac sites have pre-announced the Photoshop 6.0.1 update. The link they posted is not the official one, and may no longer work when the real one goes live tomorrow 2/27/01). I will post more info when we're "legitimate". This may explain why some may have been able to download a copy from an unofficial link while others could not download it from the Adobe site or why some may have been able to download it from Adobe's site earlier but could not later in the day. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Edwin Eleazer Sent: Monday, February 26, 2001 7:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: filmscanners: PS v.6.01 Sure was, cause I downloaded and installed it.

This is like a Twilight Zone episode. When I log into this FTP directory, what I see are three tryout versions of PhotoShop 6.0 in various languages and nothing else. Perhaps Adobe pulled the file?

If it really was that easy, why would we need colour filters (eg for tungsten lighting on daylight film)?

Re: filmscanners: Colors in Neutral Gray
Read any of Dan Margulis's "Professional Photoshop x" books. You can read Chapter 2 - By the Numbers, which describes the procedure in detail and in a nutshell (though it's a hard nutshell), online at http://www.ledet.com/margulis/PP6_Chapter2.pdf You'll get the hang of it - I've been working at it about a month and I'm only starting to get some things right. It takes time and lots of practice.
