[filmscanners] Vuescan - scan to a specific size
Hi . . . I seem unable to figure out how to scan a slide and achieve a specific size and dpi (or spi). Specifically, I would like to end up with pixel dimensions of 2040X1530 at 180 dpi. I am using Vuescan 7.6.50 and a Polaroid SS4000. I have no problem scanning and can produce results, more or less, selected in an automatic fashion, then resize in PS. Any suggestions?

[filmscanners] Vuescan settings for Kodak new high definition neg ?
Hi group! i'm going to test a new Kodak 35mm 200ASA negative called high definition. A friend of mine brought it to me from Belgium. it's a consumer market product. As I never heard about it before, I think it's a new name for an old stuff, but I'm not sure. Has anybody an idea about the right setting I should use in Vuescan? Thanks and best regards.

[filmscanners] vuescan cropping
I keep trying to upgrade vuescan but all versions after about 7.6.28 (up to 61) are unable to keep a manual crop, set using the mouse, in the final scan. The crop works fine for a preview but when the scan itself is made it shifts to maximum crop, throwing all values off even with the highest crop-buffer setting. The only way I can take advantage of the later versions is to do a raw maximum scan, bring the image into photoshop and crop out the borders there, and then do a file scan on the resulting file. That's OK, though not ideal for sure, for final scans but obviously not practical for proofing scans. I'm using a ss4000+ on win2k machine with 1gb ram. If anyone has come across this problem and found a solution -- even an explanation would be nice -- I'd appreciate hearing about it. I contacted Ed at least once about this at some point; don't remember the details but obviously nothing was resolved.

[filmscanners] Vuescan vs Insight: what is better about Vuescan ? (was 24 bit vs more)
For the SS4000: I have tried many times to use the Vuescan software rather than Insight but I keep returning to Insight. First, I find Insight significantly faster than Vuescan. Second, I find the controls in Insight to be just easier to use. I still have Vuescan on my computer and am interested in continuing to learn it. I am interested, though, to understand exactly what Vuescan does better in the hands of others. I can't see that it focuses any better. I don't get more accurate color rendition. I can't see that it handles shadow areas any better. Or I could ask the question this way: are there any specific image types or image characteristics that Vuescan handles better? To be fair, I still am using version 7.5.41. Does the latest 7.6.XX offer significantly more features or functionality? I got the last free upgrade before Ed started charging again.

[filmscanners] VueScan freezing in OS X
Environment: Power Mac G4/867, 1.5GB RAM Nikon LS-4000ED Mac OS X 10.1.5 VueScan X (versions 7.5.37 back to perhaps 7.5.34) I have seen three instances of VS freezing in OS X.

[filmscanners] Vuescan and multipass algorithm
I noticed the other day a peculiarity with Vuescan's multipass algorithm. I scanned transparencies using a flatbed, did 16-pass scans. (Very noisy scanner, especially after being powered on a few hours.) The output images seem to be calculated by averaging the value in each pixel. The result is a smooth noise level, but no real noise elimination. As an experiment, I scanned 16 passes and did the noise elimination myself in Photoshop, using Apply Image in Darken mode. This mode takes the lowest value for each color in each pixel. The resulting image was very clean! Noise was completely gone, and real-life Dmax was much better. Colors did not seem to be affected, except for improved contrast. So: It would be great to have the option in Vuescan to choose algorithm in multipass scans, between Average and Minimum. Does this sound reasonable?

Hi Simon, At least with the Leafscan 45, you DO load the film into the holder emulsion side down, AND the holder is placed in the scanner upside down, therefore emulsion side up...so for the Leaf, what you say makes perfect sense...except the Leaf has the CCD on the top, and the light source is on the bottom. I am guessing with the Imacon, the light source is on the top, and the CCD on the bottom? Either way, the emulsion faces the CCD, just like in an enlarger, the emulsion faces the paper...

It created one folder containing a carbonized Photoshop 7 and a carbonized ImageReady 7. These applications will run in either OS X or OS 9. Strangely, I read a report from someone else who claimed that he ended up with separate OS X and OS 9 applications. I can't explain that. Maybe he was smoking something and had double vision. Or perhaps that was the design for some of the beta versions. The PS 7 installer creates a new folder - it does not install into the PS 6 folder, and you should not choose that folder as the install location. I let OS X application installers use their default locations, usually at top level in /Applications. This is because many of the updaters are stupid - they expect to find files in the default location, and fail if they don't. I think (altough I am not certain of this) that if you are installing the PS 7 upgrade product, it will see a pre-exiting PS 6 installation as proof of prior purchase. Then you only need to enter the new s/n from the PS 7 product. After installing PS 7, you can delete PS 6. If you delete PS 6 before installing PS 7, you may need to enter a s/n or mount a CD from an earlier version. -- Julian Vrieslander [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=- Topic: [filmscanners] LS-8000ED examples === Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2002 18:54:20 +0900 From: David J.

[filmscanners] VueScan and MojoWorld - the hidden connection
This is a bit off-topic, but might be interesting to some on this list. Many of us are VueScan users, and some of us already know that Ed Hamrick builds his program on the wxWindows cross-platform framework. I have been trying out another product that is built on wxWindows: the MojoWorld Transporter. MojoWorld synthesizes and renders artificial, but realistic looking landscapes (entire planets, in fact), based on fractal mathematics. http://www.pandromeda.com/ Wired has an article with interesting background info on the MojoWorld project and its chief scientist, Ken Musgrave. Check out the screenshots. http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,48155,00.html The software is available in versions for Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, Windows, and Linux. I discovered that it was written on wxWindows after inspecting a crash log (this was for Mac OS X version of Transporter). Some people have complained that VueScan's user interface does not follow proper standards for Windows. I use it on a Mac, and I find it rather spartan, not totally consistent with Mac UI standards, but usable. The authors of MojoWorld took another approach. They built a unique, highly stylized, and platform-independent UI on top of wxWindows. I'm not suggesting that Ed needs to go this route. But it is very stylish, worth a look if you are interested in UI design. And the images produced by the freebie Transporter softare are certainly impressive and fascinating.

I have a bit of uncertainty regarding using the Canon FS4000 IR cleaning (FARE) with VueScan. Do you need to scan in the 64RGBI mode and then choose IR Cleaning from the 'Filter' page, or can the scan be done at any bit depth ie 24 or 48 bit RGB?

At 2:12 PM + 3/1/02, Steve Greenbank wrote: There is a perceived problem with noise with the Canon FS4000. I wondered if the problem was related to the scanning software as I get much less noise with Vuescan on a Microtek Artixscan 4000T (these are frequently perceived as having more noise than Polaroid SS4000 - perhaps its the software not better quality control as suggested on this list). I think there is something to this. I get better scans using VueScan from my Minolta Scan Dual II - less noise as well as better colour. On a related topic - I've recently been using the Long Pass feature in VueScan, again with the Scan Dual II, and I'm amazed at the reduction in shadow noise. I stopped using Long Pass with my earlier Canon FS2710, because of a CCD overload problem which produced bright red smears in the scans. The Minolta doesn't seem to suffer from this problem, and I've been getting good scans from some previously almost unusable dark slides.

[filmscanners] Vuescan: batch scanning raw files made by NikonScan.
Hi, Vuescan's problem was dealing with grain or texture removal, which might be a problem with LS-4000ED and some materials, especially the Kodak E200 Pro scans were beyond use. Someone has suggested to generate a large raw file using NikonScan, as neutral as possible (Nikon Color Management off, neutral exposure) but in the full 14bit mode and by utilizing GEM and ICE. This file should be later scanned by Vuescan to take advantage of Vuescan's exposure and the state of the art color rendition. It works. I made a series of 119Mbytes tiff files and processed them using Vuescan with size reduction 4 or 5 to obtain fine smooth images of a customary size and correct colors. But: I discovered that there is no mean to process files in batch. Vuescan lacks the ability to select a set of files and to process them just like it would do it with film frames. Furthermore, I discovered that there is not much difference between making a huge raw file and using size reduction factor, versus generating a smaller *.tiff file using NikonScan and processing it in Vuescan without size reduction. I am not yet ready to pass a final judgment about that, though. In any case on my 333Mhz + 384 Mbyte PC NikonScan needs 14min per frame, that is 8h38min for the roll of film with 37 frames. The SA-30 does not eject the film, what means that NikonScan manages somehow to avoid the ejection and thus I conclude that Ed will also be able to prevent it. Currently Vuescan 7.5 can not be used with SA-30 as the adapter ejects the film before finishing a scan with IR on. Thomas.

[filmscanners] Vuescan 7.4+ raw scan file change
It has been quite awhile since I have posted to this list but with a recent change to Vuescan I would like to get the opinion of others. Actually, I posted this message more than 2 days ago but it never showed up on the list so I will post it again. I have been using Vuescan for close to 4 years and in the last year or so I have settled on the methodology of scanning with my Minolta Scan Elite using multi-scanning to create a high-quality scan and archiving the high-resolution raw scan files to CD. I probably have a thousand or so raw scan files archived now. I like to archive the raw scan files so that any time I want to use the photo I can use Vuescan to scan from the raw file at any resolution and using any setting (infrared cleaning, grain reduction, color parameters, etc.) I want. Using the raw file I can scan one time using no grain reduction, another time using grain reduction at various levels, with infrared cleaning, without infrared cleaning, etc. Another advantage of archiving the raw scan file is that Ed from time to time improves the infrared cleaning and/or grain reduction algorithm and by rescanning the archived raw scan file with the latest, greatest version of Vuescan I can take advantage of that improvement. This brings me to the point of this message. Starting with version 7.4 Ed has changed Vuescan from creating a raw scan file to a creating partially processed raw scan file. The raw file now has infrared cleaning already done and, in a message a couple of days ago, Henk de Jong says that grain reduction processing has already been done to the raw scan file also. I'm sure Ed has some very good reasons for making this change but, I for one, much prefer the previous method of saving a raw file with none of that processing. In recent months Ed has made some tremendous improvements to Vuescan (histograms, etc.) that I have been wanting for years and I heartily thank him for those. Certainly I trust Ed's good judgement because he usually gets things right, but this time I can see no advantage from a user's point of view, but there is a serious disadvantage. With the way Vuescan 7.4+ operates I must do one of two things: 1. Scan the slide/negative 8 times and archive 8 raw scan files: a. no infrared cleaning, no grain reduction b. no infrared cleaning, light grain reduction c. no infrared cleaning, medium grain reduction d. no infrared cleaning, heavy grain reduction e. infrared cleaning, no grain reduction f. infrared cleaning, light grain reduction g. infrared cleaning, medium grain reduction h. infrared cleaning, heavy grain reduction 2. Scan the slide/negative using the infrared cleaning setting and grain reduction setting that I *think* I will usually want for this image and when I want a different setting I will have to go back and rescan the original image again -- sort of defeats the purpose of archiving in the first place though. I hope Ed will reconsider and return Vuescan to creating raw scan files that don't have the infrared cleaning and grain reduction already performed. Maybe there is some advantage to the new method that I can't think of and if there is maybe someone can enlighten me. In my opinion, it would have to be a really huge advantage to offset the very serious disdvantage though. What do others think?

[filmscanners] Vuescan crashes
I tested and tested again and now I am shure: Choosing a grain reduction reduces the grain in the scan raw file... And with al this testing I discovered another problem: Scanning a slide Choosing a different Color balance is no problem: I see the differnt color setting on the screen But, After scanning the slide AND save the files to disk, then changing Color balance will crash Vuescan. __ With kind regards, Henk de Jong The Netherlands Burma - Photo Gallery http://burma.wolweb.nl Nepal - Trekking Around Annapurna - Photo Gallery http://annapurna.wolweb.nl Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
[filmscanners] VueScan 7.4.2 - an appreciation, and questions about file sizing
The rate of development for VueScan over the last few weeks has been astonishing: Histograms, graphically selectable focus point, live display updates, monitor color spaces, separate panes for controls and displays, and much more. For a lot of VS users, I suspect that the top items on their requested feature wish lists have already been added. Thanks once more, Ed, for producing a great product, with terrific support for your customers. And I'd like to know what vitamins you are taking... By and large, I think Ed has done a good job at expanding the functionality of VS, while keeping the user interface elements organized and transparent. If there is a fault to VS as a product, it is in the documentation (User's Guide). The descriptions are often too brief, unclear or confusing. This material really begs to be fleshed out. In some places, diagrams or screenshots would be very helpful. An improved User's Guide might reduce the amount of time that Ed spends responding to frequently repeated questions. There is one area that really needs better description. I am not sure I understand it myself. This is the new group of controls in the File tab that control Image units, Image size, and Image dpi. I understand the basic concepts of resolution and image scaling. But the documentation does not explain the various options in the Image size popup menu. Here is my guess at what is going on: In the following descriptions I assume that image refers to the data written to the tif or jpg output files, and that scan refers to the cropped area of the scanned media. Image size = Scan size Image resolution is set to the dpi selected in Device |Scan resolution. Image dimensions are set to the crop dimensions: Crop | X size and Crop | Y size. Image size = Fixed dpi Image resolution is set to the value entered in Files | Image dpi. Image dimensions are computed by multiplying the crop dimensions by a factor F = (scan dpi / image dpi). Image size = Manual Image dimensions are computed by multiplying the crop dimensions by the largest factor G which will keep image size within the limits set by the user in Files | Image width and Files | Image height. Image resolution is computed from (scan dpi / G). Image size = a standard size Image dimensions are computed by multiplying the crop dimensions by the largest factor H which will keep image size within the limits set by the selected standard size. Image resolution is computed from (scan dpi / H). If the above descriptions are correct, none of these settings will cause any resampling (no pixels are changed, added or deleted). They only affect the image size and resolution tags in the output files. I hope that Ed or someone else will correct me, if my understanding is wrong. -- Julian Vrieslander mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
[filmscanners] Vuescan Save button
Every time I push the Save button, both the raw scan file and tiff crop file are saved. Before versions only saves the raw scan file one time after scanning the film. When I change a color or white point / black point setting, only the tiff crop file need to be saved, because there will be no change in the raw scan file. I am a little bit lost after all the changes made in Vuescan... It think I have to change my work flow, because more and more tweaking of the image could be done in Vuescan, while before I did that in my PSP graphics program. ___ With kind regards, Henk de Jong The Netherlands Burma - Photo Gallery http://burma.wolweb.nl Nepal - Trekking Around Annapurna - Photo Gallery http://annapurna.wolweb.nl Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
[filmscanners] Vuescan 7.4 raw scan files not realy raw?
Coming back from a month holiday I discovered a very very different Vuescan :-) It took me almost an hour to find out that you have to change the resolution setting from auto (default) to 2700 under the device tab to get a real scan with enough pixels :-( There was some e-mail or ng-message about the filosophy about the raw-scan files, but I can not find it anymore. I experienced that changing the grain reduction under the filter tab changes the raw scan file size. The output file is 48 bit RGB. I have no infrared cleaning on my scanner (Acer 2720S Scanwit). Does this mean that grain-reduction alters the raw scan file? In my opinion that would be undesirable. I strongly support the filosophy of raw scan files with no processing at all. Also the size reduction under the filter tab reduces the raw scan file. Before versions only alters the crop file. If I need a smaller raw scan file, I change the scanner resolution under the device tab. There are three places to reduce the file size: size reduction under the filter tab size reduction for tiff (crop) files under the files tab size reduction for raw files under the files tab The size reduction under the filter tab reduces both the tiff (crop) file and raw scan file. But this can also be accomplished by the resolution setting under the device tab or by the size reductions under the file tab. One setting too much? ___ With kind regards, Henk de Jong The Netherlands Burma - Photo Gallery http://burma.wolweb.nl Nepal - Trekking Around Annapurna - Photo Gallery http://annapurna.wolweb.nl Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
[filmscanners] VueScan Crashing System
I would appreciate any help that you folks can offer with a VueScan problem. My copy of VueScan is no longer functional, as it will not open. I am running it on Windows ME. I have been updating with new versions as they have been released. I have not had as much time to scan lately as I would like, so I can not guarantee that each update has been working totally normally, but I can say that I have never had a problem installing and then opening each update. The last one I had downloaded was 7.4.0 or 7.4.1….I can't remember which. I just downloaded version 7.4.2 for Windows. The installation went normally until the little gray box came up saying that F1 can be pressed for help anytime. I clicked on the OK button and the VueScan 'splash screen' with the picture of a scanner came up….but then it just stayed there while I could intermittently hear the hard drive whirring. Ultimately, by closing the folder that I downloaded to, the splash screen went gray. I had to shut down the system with alt-ctl-del. I restarted and clicked on my VueScan shortcut and the system again came to a grinding halt on the splash screen. If I tried clicking again on the shortcut I was told the file was already being used. I rebooted using alt-ctl-del and reinstalled an earlier version of VueScan that I had saved. Again, the same thing happens at the opening splash screen. Alt-ctl-del always brings up the program not responding box and I have to reboot. Again, although I have not used all the prior downloads I have successfully opened them all. Would sure like to know what the problem is and how to fix it and get VueScan back. Thanks for any help with this!

[filmscanners] Vuescan 7.4.2 and saving RAW files
Recently I sent a note to Ed asking about a performance feature that I believe no longer exists in the 7.4+ versions of VueScan. I stated: In previous releases of VueScan (versions 7.3.7 and up) saving a RAW file was significantly improved by scanning and writing files at the same time. With version 7.4 and up this very important feature seems to have been removed. Perhaps the disappearance is because of the enhancement that applies Infrared cleaning and Size reduction filters to RAW files before saving them. However, if Infrared clean is set to None and Size reduction set to 1, then VueScan should still (as it did in the past with version 7.3.13) save RAW files while scanning. Ed kindly and promptly replied indicating that the performance should be a bit better in 7.4.2. Unfortunately, VueScan 7.4.2 still seems to scan the image, then apply whatever filters are appropriate, then save the RAW file to disk. It does this even if all filters are set to none. Saving a large RAW file to disk can take considerable time -- 40 seconds with tif compression on my machine. In contrast, release 7.3.13 of VueScan saves the RAW file to disk synchronously with the scan. When the scan completes, the RAW file is on the disk. On my Nikon LS40 with VueScan 7.3.13, I can scan and save a full resolution (2900 dpi) 64 bit RGBI file (59 MB) in 137 seconds. With VueScan 7.4.2 the time to scan and save is 175 seconds -- an extra 40 seconds. Please note that I set no filters (like infrared cleaning) or size reduction to the RAW scan. Am I the only one who misses the scan/save performance feature of 7.3.13? By the way, I am also in the camp that does not want any processing (infrared cleaning or otherwise) applied to RAW files.

[filmscanners] VueScan 7.4 beta: still having white pixel clipping with SS4000
I am still having trouble with bright pixel clipping with VueScan and my SS4000. I am scanning 35mm color transparencies--Velvia and ProviaF--and using Image as Media Type. I just did comparison scans of a landscape with deep shadows and bright clouds. Using VueScan with the white point setting way down to 0.02 and the black point at 0 and using the White Balance setting, I am still seeing clipping of the brightest pixels once the image is imported into Photoshop. The VueScan gray histogram looks as though the line reaches zero at the far right end of the graph. However, using the ALT+click on the white point triangle in the Levels dialog box of Photoshop shows the clipping of bright pixels in some of the clouds. When I use Polaroid's Insight to scan the same slide, the brightest pixels are well below the white point in the Photoshop histogram. There is no clipping. I tried scanning with the Color setting at Neutral rather than White Balance. That results in moving the entire gray histogram to the left, but there is still bright pixel clipping when I look at the histogram in PS6. I used PS to look at the R,G and B channels in the levels dialog box. The bright clipping seems to be in the blue channel, for what it's worth. The image scanned by Polaroid's Insight doesn't show this phenomenon.

Re: filmscanners: Vuescan + Infrared
This is very interesting information. Does Canon's software work consistently in dust removal, or do they have the same problem? It does make some sense that the IR channel be refocused, since we know that IR light has a different focal point than does visible white light, and this is often indicated by the little red line or dot on camera lenses to show the offset from white light focus, for those using IR film. I have heard reports of FARE (Canon's IR dust removal system being either very good and causing no softening of the image, to not as effective as dICE. Perhaps this explains it in part, that being, some scans work well, others are less effective in registering properly.

Re: filmscanners: VueScan 7.3.5 color space bug?
I disagree ... what we end up with in Photoshop should never go thru the gamut funnel you describe above. What we end up in Photoshop should be the result of as few profile conversions as possible, and only one should be needed ... i.e.: sorry, didnt i say that? device space = scanner space . scanner data is corrected in scan program (which is done in some device independent internal space) image is represented in scan program through monitor icm (but which doesnt do anything with the image data) image is saved through whatever space you choose to. conversion (corrected output) from scanner space to working space: scanner space scan program correction saved to working space X or no conversion: scanner space vuescan scans only uncorrected output in scanner space to pshop jan
filmscanners: VueScan 7.3.6 files default location
Vuescan (for windows) is putting my scan and crop tifs in the wrong location. That is, in spite of me setting the default location for a specific drive and directory, Vs is putting these tifs in the 'c:\vuescan' directory. I don't know for sure, but it may be because I saved options in the vuescan directory, before I asked for a scan. Regardless, I cannot seem to change the default directory(?) Confirmation: I re-started Vuescan, and it defaulted to the same preferred directory I had set previously ... and worked properly. However ... as soon as I saved an options 'ini' file in the Vuescan directory, Vuescan after did not recognize the default directory. So, it would seem saving an options file messes with the default directory location. shAf :o)

Re: filmscanners: VueScan 7.3.6 Available
seems that i was fooled by the Adobe RGB/Apple RGB bug. Color spaces look like working ok now. Congratulations. I tested various settings: Result: if i set for monitor space the most proximate match to my image in pshop, then no matter what file space i choose, there is always a pretty good match to the result in photoshop. In my case the monitor space is most proximate to PAL/Secam space. More precise results can be obtained with some large gamut critical test images and by testing with the custom monitor profile , when that setting comes available in vuescan.

filmscanners: VueScan 7.3.6 IR dust removal (#2)
For Vs users' comments and Ed's attention: With respect to my earlier post, and trials with Vs v.7.3.6, attached are 2 images ... (1) the IR channel (2) the RGB. Both of them are in exact registration, but I believe the IR is mis-registered with respect to the defect. These scans have been rotated CW. I cannot imagine any reason for the mis-registration ... that is, a LS-2000 scans IR coincidentally with RGB. Ed??? shAf :o) attachment: infrared.jpgattachment: RGB.jpg

This is the first time I've been able to sit down and play with Vs my LS-2000 since early in v.7. I'm scanning Supra 100 today ... and for Vuescan exposures I am getting numbers like: RGB = 3.33 IR = 4.57 It seems to me, for earlier versions of Vuescan, possibly as early as v.6.x, I was getting exposure numbers near 1. Anyone know what these differences represent? ... or, how it reflects on an ability for Vs v.7 to return to previously raw scans, and color process them? shAf :o)

RE: filmscanners: VueScan Histogram
Philip writes ... *From my observations if you just scan with the WP at 0.1 as default, you can compress the tonal values rather than making sure the image ocupies the full range available. If your image allows a WP of say 0.4 just before clipping then the available range isn't wasted in the 0-0.4 area* ... That's my impression as well. For example, any given photo depending exposure and subject, the scan may be asked to include white without detail into the histogram ... which may sacrifice levels for white with detail. I believe as you force the histogram to include the former and play with the Wp=0-.4 region, you'll notice significant effect on brightness (or apparent gamma). Once you set Wp so as to exclude most white w/o detail you'll see less effect ... and it is here where you should probably set the Wp.

I set up 7.3.5 to display images in Apple RGB, and to save files in Adobe RGB. The file images, when opened up in Photoshop, are significantly darker than VueScan's preview and scan displays. The difference was much less when I was using version 7.3.4. Recall that with 7.3.4 (and its single Color space setting) I was using Apple RGB and gamma 1.8 while adjusting color tab settings, and switching to Adobe RGB and gamma 2.2 just before doing the final scan to file. I have some sample images which demonstrate that 7.3.5 is actually worse than 7.3.4, at least for the above combination of color spaces. http://julianv.home.mindspring.com/color_test/color_test_1.html and http://julianv.home.mindspring.com/color_test/color_test_2.html The behavior in 7.3.5 might be explained if you are (incorrectly) setting gamma 2.2 when Apple RGB is selected for Monitor color space. -- Julian Vrieslander mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: filmscanners: VueScan Histogram
I would second Julian's comments - expecially the part about leaving the histograms in view for the Preview Memory function - that's the first thing I tried to do and was a little frustrated by not being able to see what happened until I had hit the tab again. Ideally leave the old histo there until the moment that it changes - then when we see the actual 'switch' take place I think we will quickly get the hang of the relationship between the numbers and the graph. mark t PS - I find it hard to believe we are all sitting here having our needs/wants met by a software developer, often in hours, let alone months or years.. Ed, I hope you never learn the 'normal' way to develop software... :-) Julian wrote: Looks good so far, Ed. I like the layout, with the combined histo on top, and the RGB histos superimposed. I'm sure there will be a raging torrent of suggestions on more gongs and whistles to add. I would like to see some way of connecting the histograms to the numbers entered in the WP, BP, and gamma settings, but I am not sure about the best way to do this. .. Here's one request that I think makes sense, and which would be easy to implement. If the user is viewing the Prev Hist tab and then executes a Preview or Prev Mem, leave the Prev Hist tab in front, rather than switching to the Preview tab. Chances are, the user wants to see the effects of the new scan on the histogram. Similarly, if Scan Hist is in front, leave it in front if the user does a Scan or Scan Mem. My own preference would be for disabling automatic flipping of the display and histo tabs altogether, and let me choose when to flip them.

Hi Ed! Just a question, is the y-axis in the histograms linear or log? Best regards, Erik Kaffehr -- Erik Kaffehr[EMAIL PROTECTED] alt. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mariebergsvägen 53 +46 155 219338 (home) S-611 66 Nyköping +46 155 263515 (office) Sweden -- Message sent using 100% recycled electrons --

Re: filmscanners: VueScan Histogram
i like it linear, it shows differences in comprehensible proportions. i suppose the histo in pshop is also linear. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2001 10:36 AM Subject: Re: filmscanners: VueScan Histogram In a message dated 12/16/2001 4:15:12 AM EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Just a question, is the y-axis in the histograms linear or log?
