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.

I can't claim to be an expert but I'm finding less reason to use color-correcting
filters.  An example of what can be done is at:

This is like a Twilight Zone episode.  When I log into this FTP directory,

Perhaps Adobe pulled the file?

filmscanners: RE: Help: Trouble with UMAX Powerlook 1100 Scanner

[Melberg, Rorik]

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?

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.

The head has ink on it where it shouldn't be.  If it's going into the
margins, it's not the actual jets which are causing the problem.
Run a cleaning cycle from the utilities in the printer driver.

The best place for Epson related problems is the Epson inkjet list;
go to www.leben.com and subscribe from there.

Barbara suggested using the "-" setting on the paper thickness lever.  I
would *not* advise using the "thin" paper setting for photo thickness paper.
 You could damage the printer transport, or at least increase wear on the
head.  The lever should be set to "+" for all photo paper thickness papers
(generally those over 100gsm).

I see this with mine, only to minor degree. Nikon probably considers

certainly NOT normal if you cannot scan 100% of the film-frame.

Windows has a standard way of turning the button polling on

Yes, FireWire is next.  The code is structured in such a way that
adding FireWire support shouldn't take more than 100 lines of code.

It runs in compatibility mode.

Yes.

Yes, this will be a problem as well.  Most of
the USB routines I'm using aren't supported
on Mac OS X.

filmscanners: Nikon Problem LS-2000

[Robert Kehl]

I have an LS-2000 with a probelm that Nikon's "quality service" doesn't seem
to be able to resolve.  I need some input from LS-2000 users.

When scanning negatives with the autofeed filmstrip adapter, the scanner
doesn't center on the images but leaves a white banner on top and crops a
little at the bottom. It seems as though the CCD is not centered on the
image area.   I'm not talking about centering between frames, which can be
corrected with the "offset" control.  I'm talking about centering the image
top to bottom of the filmstrip.

It does this consistently.  I've sent it in to Nikon's USA Service
Department in New Yourk TWICE!.  The first time they changed a few parts but
didn't fix the problem.  The second time they just checked it and sent it
back.  Both times they included a form that stated "teh unit  is functioning
normally".

Is this Normal?.   I'm not sure, because it's done this since I first bought
it.

Help.

Great news, now for some questions:

1) Do the problem scanners (w/button polling) present the same
problems under Windows?  If not, why not?

2) Is FireWire next?  Especially for the Mac? This would open up the
new Nikon and various flatbed scanners.

3) Does VueScan function under MacOS X.  As a native application or
under compatibility mode?  Are you waiting for a carbon version of cross
platform windowing library or is the problem with accessing
SCSI/USB/FireWire under MacOS X?

VueScan doesn't support USB Umax scanners, either on Windows
or Mac OS.  They don't use the same type of commands as the
scsi Umax scanners, and the command format they use isn't
documented (and can't easily be reverse engineered).

VueScan 6.7.3 adds Mac OS support for those USB
scanners that were previously supported in the Windows
version of VueScan.

You should be able to get the driver from there. Note, the driver to

it is a Fast SCSI board.

filmscanners: VueScan 6.7.3 Available

[EdHamrick]

I just released VueScan 6.7.3 for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
It can be downloaded from:

  http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html

What's new in version 6.7.3

  * Added support for USB scanners on Mac OS
(HP S20 film scanner only supported on Windows)

  * Improved robustness of USB scanners on Windows

Some other information from the release notes for users
of Mac OS and USB scanners:

  If your scanner has a button on the front and
  if a program starts up when you press this button
  while running VueScan, you need to disable this
  behavior to get VueScan to work properly.
  Unfortunately, it appears that this behavior
  can't be disabled on some scanners, especially
  Agfa USB scanners.  To disable button polling on
  Epson scanners, use "Epson Scanner Monitor Setup"
  in the Apple menu (uncheck "Enable monitoring").

  VueScan supports the same USB scanners on Mac OS
  as Windows (except for the HP S20).  You need to
  first install the software that came with the
  scanner and verify that the scanner works (you
  only need to do this when you first install the
  scanner).

Re: filmscanners: OT: looking for a directory printing program

[Arthur Entlich]

Hi Bob,

And thanks.  This is being suggested to me by several people in private 
mail, and it may ultimately be the answer.  Silly to have to go this 
route, but it IS Windows, after all ;-)

It really makes me wonder how people can ask $10-20 shareware fees for 
the programs I downloaded from ZD, since they basically, they basically 
do the first part of the process, but allow for very minimal formatting.

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

filmscanners: VueScan USB support on Mac OS

[EdHamrick]

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.

Might try this (I had to do it with a Modem):

Boot to Win2K
In Device Manager, remove the Adapter (if it's listed)
Shutdown, remove the card, and reboot into Win2K
Shutdown again
Reinstall card
Reboot to Win2k
Hopefully Win2K PinP will find the card and install the the proper drivers.

This procedure *should* not mess up tour WinMe installation as long as you do not boot
into WinMe during the process.

RE: filmscanners: USB and data transfer as a constraint on time needed to scan

[Vladislav Jurco]

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
scan&write to the disk.

The roller does seems to be designed for film as well, according to their

not (the reverse of inkjet printer practice?)

If anyone on the list tries them out, please let us know how they work.  I

RE: filmscanners: SS4000: Aspi32/Advansys for Win 2000

"I never even opened up my Advansys envelope, since I already had a SCSI
card, the Adaptec 2930. At any rate, I cut it open just for your benefit,
and found that the wnaspi32 file had a 1998 date on it! I bought the SS4000
towards the end of 2000, too! It has no Windows 2000 drivers on the disk.
Totally disgusting. The way I would look at this is, if I can afford the
SS4000, I can afford to spring for a real SCSI card and forget the Advansys.
The Adaptec 2930 costs $100."

Thanks very much for checking, Frank. If all else fails, I'll get the
Adaptec. Since I was able to download Win 2K drivers for the Advansys, I
just need to find the NTASPI32. I can't understand why neither Polaroid or
Advansys have this on their web sites, since it necessary to run the SS4000
on Win2K using the Advansys card that Polaroid now bundles with the ss4000.

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).

One more try
There are wnaspi32.dll files on the Win 98SE and Win98 CD ROMS

Win98SE in the Win98_44.CAB directory
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q238/7/67.ASP
WIN98 in the Win98_40.CAB directory
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q188/4/34.ASP

Might try looking through the Cab directories on the Win2000 CD or, there is
probably a
readme file on the CD listing all the files and where they are located.

Good Luck
Mike

Bill,
Re: my previous post.  Closer look at file reveals it's ver 1,0,0,0 for Win95... The
"Other Version Information" shows 2,0,0,0 so, who knows?

Re: filmscanners: SS4000 on Windows 2000 problem

[Mystic]

Bill,
Might try this site for the wnaspi32.dll... It's listed

The DLL Archive
http://solo.abac.com/dllarchive/

I downloaded it and will send it to you separately if you send me your email address.  
Its
an Adaptec file, ver 2,0,0,0 and  ~ 6.7KB Zipped, 16 KB UnZipped.
Aloha,
Mike

Since a search found no such file on the Win2K system, I took that
wnaspi32.dll(a 1999 version) from my win Me system and installed it in  the
Win 2K system folder.


Thanks
