Re: filmscanners: Vuescan: Incrementing TIFF file names

2001-03-13 Thread Gordon Tassi

Joel:  Be sure you do not remove the "+" sign after the number.  You can replace
any part of the information before the # 1 and the + and vueScan automatically
increases the number by 1.  e.g. Crop0001, Crop0002 etc.  The key is don't mess
with the +.  You can even chang the number Crop21+ and Vuescan will start with
21 and then will add an increment (22 and so on) to each slide with the same
title after that number.

I hope I did not muddy the waters for you.

APS and numbering was Re: filmscanners: Vuescan: Incrementing TIFF file names

2001-03-13 Thread Rob Geraghty

Just on the topic of incrementing the numbers, it would be really useful
to be able to have a *negative* increment.  I never had a need for this
until last night when I plugged in the APS adapter for the LS30 (which worked
flawlessly BTW).  When you load the film, the adapter winds the entire roll
out of the reel to check how many frames there are.  But if you then tell
Vuescan to scan frames 1-25, the adapter has to wind the film back in again.
 If a negative increment for the filename was available, the scanner could
start at the *end* of the roll and scan frames in reverse order, winding
the film in as it went.  This would reduce the risk of the APS cartridge
failing with most of the film still in the scanner, but you'd still end
up with the frames numbered correctly.

The main reason for this suggestion is APS - apparently the film can come
away from the cartridge, and there is a warning to minimise the number of
times you wind the film in and out.  This is an excellent argument for saving
raw scans from APS.

It would be really nice if Vuescan could display the number of frames in
a given strip of film.  At least with the Nikon, the scanner always scans
the whole strip to count the number of frames, and Vuescan seems to record
this number, but it doesn't display it AFAIK.  This number would be great
to catch odd numbers of frames in a film strip - especially APS - so a batch
scan doesn't miss frames, or fail because too many frames were specified.
Nikonscan displays it in the form of the number of frames in the drawer.

BTW I'm using Vuescan 7.0.

filmscanners: Vuescan: Incrementing TIFF file names

2001-03-12 Thread Joel Nisson

Is there a way to increment the numbering of TIFF output files from Vuescan.
Unless I am missing something, they are always saved as crop001.tif (or
something similar to that) and if a rescan again, the name is overwritten.
I would like to perform several different type of scans and have them saved
in different TIFF files without having to rename them after each scan.

Thanks.

It increments the number each time you do a new scan, whether it's the same
image or not. You can chance the starting filename to anything you want,
e.g. xy023. The first file will be xy023, the second xy024, etc.

Put a "+" after the name and before the ".".  ie. crop001+.tif

Just don't forget to put the plus sign after the "xy023" - so you type in
"xy023+.tif"
