Re: 1st color film scan on new Epson V600

[P.J. Alling]

I see we're going to have to go over the proper PDML procedure here.

First discern there is an issue.

Frame a question to the PDML and post it.

Then decided while waiting for a reply to check Google, Yahoo, Ask, (yes 
each search engine get's worse), until finally trying Bing, not the 
worst exactly, but certainly the last.


Post message that answer has been found, and apologize for wasting group 
bandwidth.


Receive well thought out replies, for next three to six days.

Hi Everyone!

I’ve had my new Epson V600 scanner for a few months now, and 
ironically

I’ve been using it more for document scanning than film.

But today I’ve stole some time to try it out on some color film.  This
was taken with my Pentax MX, and along the film edge it says Kodak
Safety Film 5035.  Anyone have any idea what that means?  If I once
knew, I’ve long since forgotten.

Of this series, this has always been my favorite.  I did some dust
removal, but I can see more work needs to be done.  Also, does it look
like theres a bit of a blue color cast to it?  Or does it look ok to
you guys?

Scanning quality doesn’t look too shabby for a $200 scanner, though if
the expertise of the list says otherwise, I’m willing to be schooled.

Comments welcome.

Excellent quality scan - and I don't see a colour cast on my monitor.

Looks nice, Christine! Has a nice 'film" look to it, particularly WRT to 
the color balance. I have the V500 and found it to be a very capable 
scanner, though I replaced it with a dedicated film scanner.

Nice picture!  I don't know if there's an overall blue cast, but there
is an awful lot of blue (that should be blue) in the picture, now that
you mention it.

I've also found the Epson software to be good. I tried Vuescan, but
couldn't get it to do any better than the Epson. Maybe user error, but
I don't see the need to try any more.

Re: 1st color film scan on new Epson V600

[Paul Stenquist]

The interface isn't good compared to the best software, but it's good compared 
to Vuescan. I tend to like the fact that settings return to base after each 
individual scan. That way I'm always starting from the same point. I have no 
hanging problems, but I'm using the latest scanner and software on s powerful 
machine.

I have a Nikon scanner and an Epson scanner.

The advantage of using Vuscan is I have the same user interface for both
scanners. Plus, Vuescan allows me to save as .DNG files. I haven't tried
the Epson software, so I don't know if it will allow saving as .DNG, but
the Nikon Scan software would not.

Vuescan also gives me a cleaner scan than the Nikon Scan software.

You nailed it, Paul.

I tried to make minor adjustments to it and the results were all over
the map with tiny changes in the controls. And the UI was clearly
designed by somebody with no understanding of either UI design or Mac
s/w development.

The Epson s/w is by far the better choice, if imperfect.

That could well be the issue. The Epson drivers for the two OS are different,

It was a bit awkward, but I was able to get a scan with it on my epson. 
 The epson software, on the other hand would just hang.  It did seem to

The big plus I found for Vuescan when applied to my (once, state of the art;
now, desperately ancient) Canon film scanner is that it allowed multiple pass
scanning, which the Canon software did not.

The really big downside to Vuescan is the utterly unintuitive interface.  It was
(I haven't used it for a very long time) the most unfriendly GUI software I've
ever used.  That may have changed.

Epson's software is far better than Vuescan. I've used both extensively and I 
frequently scan for publication. The Epson software is easier to use and allows

To Mike’s point, here’s the link to the VueScan Scanner Software:  
http://www.hamrick.com

And from the webpage:

"VueScan can output scanned documents, photos, and film in PDF, JPEG and TIFF 
formats. It can also recognize text using OCR and create multi-page pdfs using 
both flatbed scanners and scanners with automatic document feeders”

The Epson software does the same as described above—the multi-page PDF feature 
is great when scanning multipage materials for my students.  Optical Character 
Recognition (ORC) software is included.  I’ll have to start playing around with 
the photo crease reduction and dust removal features—see how far I can push 
them for prints and negatives.

I’m not sure what I would gain by downloading VueScan, since I have the same 
features with Epson’s software.  Any thoughts if VueScan’s software is, in 
fact, superior to Epson’s software?

Thanks, John!  the V600 does have medium format film capabilities, and I

Hi Everyone!

I’ve had my new Epson V600 scanner for a few months now, and ironically
I’ve been using it more for document scanning than film.

But today I’ve stole some time to try it out on some color film.  This
was taken with my Pentax MX, and along the film edge it says Kodak
Safety Film 5035.  Anyone have any idea what that means?  If I once
knew, I’ve long since forgotten.

Of this series, this has always been my favorite.  I did some dust
removal, but I can see more work needs to be done.  Also, does it look
like theres a bit of a blue color cast to it?  Or does it look ok to
you guys?

Scanning quality doesn’t look too shabby for a $200 scanner, though if
the expertise of the list says otherwise, I’m willing to be schooled.

Comments welcome.

Kodak 5035 is Kodacolor II ASA 100.

It was superseded by Kodacolor VR 100 and then Gold 100. "Safety Film"
just means it has an acetate base rather than nitrocellulose.

http://www.taphilo.com/Photo/kodakfilmnumxref.shtml

I don't see a color cast, and it looks just fine for a $200 scanner. You
only need a more expensive scanner if you have to scan medium or large
format negatives/transparencies. I don't know if the V600 has a back
light area large enough to handle them.

If you do, there are work-arounds that will get the job done.

It's a good image. There's a nice balance between the foreground and the
kind of triangular shape of the mass of balloons & the guy pulling on
the guide rope and one balloon already in the air.

You might boost the saturation of the balloons just a touch, but you'd
want to mask it on an adjustment layer (Photoshop) or use an adjustment
brush (Lightroom) to confine the saturation boost to just the balloons.

I won't say that it needs it, but it could make the image more pleasing
... or maybe not. You'd have to try it to find out.

Yea, I’m pretty happy so far!  I have some negatives I’ve never seen in print.  
Should be fun when I start scanning that film.

If you scroll down the page, there looks like a good how-to book on scanning

I also have the V600. Very pleased with it I am too, and seems to cope really 
well with anything it is supposed to scan.

Hi Everyone!

I’ve had my new Epson V600 scanner for a few months now, and ironically I’ve 
been using it more for document scanning than film.


But today I’ve stole some time to try it out on some color film.  This was 
taken with my Pentax MX, and along the film edge it says Kodak Safety Film 
5035.  Anyone have any idea what that means?  If I once knew, I’ve long 
since forgotten.


Of this series, this has always been my favorite.  I did some dust 
removal, but I can see more work needs to be done.  Also, does it look 
like theres a bit of a blue color cast to it?  Or does it look ok to you 
guys?


Scanning quality doesn’t look too shabby for a $200 scanner, though if the 
expertise of the list says otherwise, I’m willing to be schooled.


Comments welcome.

I think Vuescan is still the standard.  It seems to work with virtually any
scanner ever built and all popular OSs.  The only regular fault that I know of
are issues with odd colour balances.  Experienced this myself and had to
reinstall to fix it.  One pay and permanent updates.  I like Mr Hamrick's

I've got a whole bunch of negatives and slides that I'd like to get

I'm guessing that it should be "good enough", but if there is something

had thought about trying it previously, but for several years, the

I can see a few white marks in the sky but, otherwise, nothing to worry about.
 Crisp and well-balanced colour wise.  You may be right baout the slight blue
cast but, if it's actually there, it's nothing I would worry about.  My only
disclaimer is that I'm looking at a ~6x8" screen image.  A larger print may draw
different comments.

I’ve had my new Epson V600 scanner for a few months now, and ironically I’ve 
been using it more for document scanning than film.

But today I’ve stole some time to try it out on some color film.  This was 
taken with my Pentax MX, and along the film edge it says Kodak Safety Film 
5035.  Anyone have any idea what that means?  If I once knew, I’ve long since 
forgotten.

Of this series, this has always been my favorite.  I did some dust removal, but 
I can see more work needs to be done.  Also, does it look like theres a bit of 
a blue color cast to it?  Or does it look ok to you guys?

Scanning quality doesn’t look too shabby for a $200 scanner, though if the 
expertise of the list says otherwise, I’m willing to be schooled.

Comments welcome.
