[filmscanners] RE: A quick and simple question

2002-01-18 Thread Nuno Sebastião

HI,

I'm not quite sure about this but I've been using my FS4000us like this:
If a film strip goes numbered like, for instance, 7,8,9,10,11,12
I set 7 to position number 1 on the film strip holder, 8 to 2 and so on.
I think is the logical way to do this.

Yours,
Nuno Sebastião

Which side of the emulsion goes on the right side for a Canon FS4000us?

[filmscanners] RE: Video card for imaging

2002-01-18 Thread Nuno Sebastião

Hi all,


What about video cards for laptops. Is the default card enough or should
we go  for an update. I think that laptops video cards are quite bad?
Any comments on this!

Julian,

would you still get the CRT rather then an LCD? What kind of work are
you doing? In other words, is color reproduction very important in your
work?

Yes.  Individually adjustable gain and bias for each gun.

I was thinking further about this today and realized I don't know what
the bias adjustment does.  Many monitors only have gain controls, and so
now I'm wondering how bias is different than gain, how it's used during
calibration, and the advantages (?) for color critical work. Thanks,
Dave

Well, tech speaking about gain and bias:
Say, you have an input X on monitor
Your output will be Y = mX + b.
Where m is the gain and b the bias aka offset.

So what you see on screen (Y) is the signal (X) that comes from video
card multiplied by gain (m) and added with b (offset or bias).
In a perfect monitor you would have something like m= 1 and b = 0 so
that the signal displayed by monitor is the same as the one that comes
from the video card. But as monitors age they need to be recalibrated to
show the desired signal so the need for the gain and bias.

Hope I was clear and helped,
Nuno Sebastião

Re: filmscanners: VueScan 7.3.4 Available

2001-12-15 Thread Nuno Sebastião

This guy is awesome.

Thank you ED. I send him a mail yesterday about the fs4000 problem and he
released a fix for it today.

A lot of those big companies should learn from ED what is costumer support.


 I just released VueScan 7.3.4 for Windows, Mac OS 8/9/X
 and Linux.  It can be downloaded from:
 
   http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html
 
 What's new in version 7.3.4
 
   * Added histogram for preview and scan
   * Fixed problem with SCSI on some Windows systems
   * Fixed problem with some Canon scanners being identified as FS2720
 
 Regards,
 Ed Hamrick

filmscanners: Problem with Vuescan

2001-12-14 Thread Nuno Sebastião

Hi,

I've been using vuescan with my Canoscan FS4000 Us and everything was
fine until when I installed version 7.3.3 wich recognizes my scanner as
a FS2720.
What happened, did Ed stop support for fs4000? Is this s little problem
with version 7.3.3 or is something wrong with my scanner?

Thank's and keep up the good work Ed,
Nuno Sebastião





filmscanners: Scanning software out there?

2001-12-13 Thread Nuno Sebastião


Hi all,


I'm new to this list and to the scanning world.
Can anybody tell me if there is any software (besides the one provided
with the scanner itself) to use with a CanoScan FS4000US.

I've tried vuescan and I believe its results are great but I would like
to know if there is any other software?

Thanks,
Nuno Sebastião
