I did my test using a slide not a negative so I don't know if there is a
difference between the two. That would be an interesting experiment. Also,
it's possible that different times may be obtained by varying some of the
settings in VueScan such as selecting a specific preview resolution instead
of Auto, focusing only at scan time, etc. I don't scan many slides at one
sitting and I can be doing other things on my PC while scanning is taking
place so the scanning time is not an issue with me.

Tom . . . .. I am running 7.5.59 on ME. The preview time sounds about right
but I will check it the next time I scan a negative. It sounds like I am
getting similar results, which tends to answer my question: Does Viewscan
normally take this much time to prescan. I would like to know why there is
a difference between VS and Insite. Perhaps the prescan time in VS can be
reduced. Thanks, John

I just timed mine using a slide in position one and these are my results. I
am using version 7.5.57 with an SS4000 (SCSI) on a PC with W98SE.
Preview time: 1 minute 13 seconds
Scan time: 3 minutes - This does not include the time to write the image to
the disk as that is a function of your PC and hard drive, not VueScan or the
scanner.
My VueScan settings are: Preview Resolution - Auto, Scan Resolution - 4000
dpi, Auto Focus - Always.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Tom Maugham

I have noticed that when using the SS4000+ with VueScan (USB connection as
the Firewire consistently crashes VueScan), that before the actual scan
there
is about 1 minute of waiting along with I think one or two movements of the
slide carrier. The bottom of the VueScan window intermittently says "Busy"
with a % next to it. I believe it is calibrating the scanner at this time
(it takes longer than the Polaroid software calibration). On many versions
ago you could do a calibration (don't know about the Polaroid as I was usng
a
Canon at the time) with the calibration pull down and it was stored...but
when I try that now with the SS4000+ it doesn't do anything so I think the
delay at the start is calibration. Not sure if this is what you are
experiencing or not.

<< Thanks Tom . . . . I have cleaned the scanner using the supplied brush.
This seemed to have eliminated some banding issues that started to show up
in the scans.
I am not sure the "indexing" time is a problem it just seems to take . . .
well, time. If I use Polaroid Insight there does not seem to be any
hunting
for the frame. The time to the start of the scan is quicker with insight.
