[filmscanners] slide holders for sprintscan
I called microtek to see if I could get one of their slideholders for their artixscan 400T, since it will work with the sprintscan 4000. They will sell me one for $60. Yes, that's SIX-OH DOLLARS -- WOW. Even polaroid sold them for about $15, and BH/Adorama used to sell them for $12. If you had premium support through polaroid, you used to be able to buy them discounted for as low as $9. But, sixty bucks!? I even had her find one and look at it and describe it to me to be sure this was, in fact, that very item. I think I'll pass while I still have one that's fully in tact. -- --dan Photo Gallery: http://www.danheller.com/ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body

[filmscanners] Re: Building PC system for image editing
I would go further. It is true that this is not the place to have ongoing, overbearing discussions on the topic, but there are some reasons why the subject could be covered here: - Most of us are interested in the subject at one level or other. - The subject of 'system suitable for image editing' is to some extent exclusive to this kind of group. Specialist PC how-to-do-it groups would not have the same emphasis or even understanding of what is needed/best for imaging. People using their PCs for video, or at the other extreme, for word processing, may have quite different needs. - Given that most of us use computers for a specific purpose rather than being specialists in the things, most of us will be at a lower level of understanding than those on the specialist groups, so the discussion level is more likely to be appropriate to our needs. - We are all affected to some extent by the problem that every time we upgrade our machines the technology has moved on, so there are different questions to ask and different optimal price/performance points. The sort of discussion suggested will help us all to make sensible decisions. - The fact is that by definition we all own a computer which is used for our scanning, thus it is relevant to all of us and essential for all of us. To me this subject is as relevant as lighting or screen adjustment - which are discussed here. - I have looked at some of the computer sites suggested, and none has provided me with as efficient a background as I am sure could be gained on filmscanners if the knowledgeable ones were allowed to speak. Most of the sites tend to be obscure and forget to give the potted summaries (e.g. what is the story with RAM these days and what does it dictate in your purchase decision - in two pages?) that I need since I have not looked at the subject for nearly 2 years. - as always it is a pretty simple matter to delete or ignore these posts if not wanted. There are some very peripheral or detailed subjects that get discussed at enormous lengths on this list sometimes which I am sure are ignored by most subscribers. Meanwhile the very topics that interest me are flowing invisibly backchannel, thus forcing me to ask the same questions of maybe the same people at a later time. Unless Tony has violently objected in the past I for one would like to see such discussion in public so I can learn about this essential aspect of filmscanning.

Thanks Bob - yes, this method sort of works, except I would really like to keep my graphics folders free of INI files. I work in a number of different folders and it seems Vuescan wants to keep its INI's in the working folder. So by the time I hunt down where I left the ini, I might as well just change the settings..

[filmscanners] Accessing film types with VueScan: ArtixScan 4000t on Mac OS 9.1
I've just purchased VueScan 7.4 for Mac and am running OS 9.1. I'm very impressed with many of the features, although the startup window flickers alarmingly (wasn't this addressed in an earlier upgrade?) and every redraw is painfully slow. I have the required amount of RAM dedicated to the program - 91Mb - and still have heaps of headroom on my G4 with 896Mb total RAM. The biggest problem I have - and I've read the user notes but can't find anything to point me in the right direction - is that I can only select 2 slide vendors - Kodak or Generic - in the 'slide vendor' window when scanning from positive film. I shoot mostly on Fuji Sensia or Velvia and although the online manual lists the 'available' profiles for over 200 tranny types, I can't select any of them. Is this a platform problem, or is the ArtixScan 4000t unable to utilise the data? Ed, I've followed your posts and am impressed by the amount of work you've put into continually upgrading the program, as well as taking the time to respond to user's requests.

[filmscanners] RE: OT: problems installing SCSI card
It sounds like there is an IRQ conflict in the system where the SCSI card is conflicting with your video card. If your video card is an AGP card, then you can not change the location of it; but you can rearrange the location of the SCSI card vis-à-vis the other PCI cards in terms of the slot it is using as the Adaptec Tech suggested. Alternately, you could go into your system BIOS and change the IRQ of the slot which your Adaptec card is using. You failed to mention if the free IRQ is free with the card installed or without it installed. If it is with the card installed, that means one of two things: either you have two free IRQs with the card not installed or your SCSI card is sharing an IRQ with something which may be the cause for the incompatibility. The devices hooked up to the card will not effect the conflict that you describe since it is a conflict between the SCSI card and something else which is at the root of the problem and not one involving the connected devices. If it were the latter, the system would boot but it would not recognize the SCSI devices. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Eric Etheridge Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 9:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [filmscanners] OT: problems installing SCSI card I'm trying to install an Adaptec 2906 card in my Gateway desktop and getting a monitor/video card conflict.

Eric, first of all you have to become accustomed to startProgramsAccessoriesSystem ToolsSystem Informations TAB= IRQ (because you are using W98 ... !! isn't it ?) ... second ... you have to start to become accustomed to the BIOS of your system as Laurie is rightly telling you ... BUT BE WARNED ! ... the BIOS texts are somehow obscure and MORE obscure the results of the different parametres ! ... DO NOT TOUCH till you are absolutely sure of what the result will be ... in facts .. BIOS settings are gonna changing the behaviour (at a low level) of your system thus if not properly set they can (apparently) make your system unusable or so. I am available off-list to guide you step by step you need (IMHO) advices because the system and yourself seem to have a conflicting set of IRQs + difficult or impossible sharing of the same . Laurie is right ... you should act on the IRQs , the physical sequence of the PCI boards (when PnP) .. the physical setting of legacy boards with their IRQs ... etc. etc. ... So it is a matter of screw-driver and IRQ hammering ... and remember 2 very peculiar parametres ! ... PnP Operating System .

[filmscanners] Re: Film types with VueScan..
Hi, Tim. ..I can only select 2 slide vendors - Kodak or Generic - in the 'slide vendor' window Ed created this option purely to try to correct for the different 'look' of E- and K-chromes. Transparencies by their nature shouldn't really require a vendor setting - the primary reason you have it for negatives is that each vendor/film uses a different mask color. He has stated before on this list that the *Image* setting should normally be used for slides, as the Slide setting may (and does for me) result in clipping. I suspect his intention was to provide a 'quick and dirty' color correction to show the differences in the way these film types capture reality. For 'serious' scanning (whatever that is), I suggest you use the Image settings, and do those corrections yourself if you want to change the look of the film. although the online manual lists the 'available' profiles for over 200 tranny types, I can't select any of them. If you look carefully, you'll see they are all color negatives or bw, not transparency.. regards, mark t Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
