Thanks.

P.S.  Yours is still the only site I can no longer access using my DSL line
but only my telephone line modem, which first occurred on 3/2/01 when I
tried to download 6.7.5 - previously no problem.  Anything change on your
server that I might be able to adjust for here?

I've moved them to the Device tab since this tab has the most-used options.

I've made this change for the next beta.

This will have to wait a while - it would require significant reworking
of the internal workings of VueScan.

Re: filmscanners: VueScan 7.0 Beta 1 Available

2001-03-11 Thread Maris V. Lidaka, Sr.

I've had the chance to try it out on about a dozen scans after taking care
of business (book store and dinner with my daughter).  I am very pleased
with the new layout and with the organization in terms of what's on which
tab.  I do have to suggestions:

1)On the Crop tab, move "Rotate" and "Mirror" to the right side of the
tab as they seem to fit better in that group than in the crop-settings
group - I found myself searching for the "Rotate" function several times.

2)Change the terms Clean, Scrub, and Scour:  Scrub and Scour to me are
the same thing and I get confused as to which is which when I am not
actually looking at the options where they are visually lined up.  Since the
option is named "Clean" already, how about "Light, Medium, Heavy" instead of
"Clean, Scrub, Scour"?

I also ran into what might be a minor bug twice:  when scanning 2 frames
from a filmstrip of 4 it processed the first of the 2 frames twice, though
scanning it just once.  I am using the Nikon LS-30 in a PC with Win98SE, 700
MHz with 384MB RAM.  I noted the particulars of the second instance (I gave
the first no thought) as having a 4-frame film strip in the scanner, setting
Frame numbers as "2-3", "Preview" [both]; "Scan".  Frame 2 was scanned once
and processed and opened in "Corel PhotoPaint 9.  I then returned to Vuescan
and saw that it was processing frame 2 again with a new crop number, which
again opened in PhotoPaint.  Frame 3 then scanned and was processed but
once, and opened in PhotoPaint.

One additional suggestion I did not see mentioned before - it would be nice
if multiple previews were retained for viewing on the Preview Tab, perhaps
stacked or with sub-tabs for each.

Ed,

With the new interface, I no longer see the preview window when making
adjustments. Hitting Prev Mem does return focus to the preview window. I
thought it was better to have the preview window display when entering new
parameters in the boxes.

It would be nice to have these two options:

1. Entering any data into a crop, filter or color box and hitting Enter
would automatically activate Prev Mem. That would save having to grab the
mouse and click on the Prev Mem button.
2. Return the Preview Box on the right and the control boxes on the left.
That would save time if one wanted to try a lot of different settings.

Version 7 seems to take longer to load and longer to close than previous
versions on my machine (Dell 933 w/512MB)

It's on the right of the color tab. Be sure you don't have "Disk" select as
the device or it won't show.
