Before the switch to Apple's own CPU chips, you could install Apple OS 
on your own hardware (assuming it was Intel hardware similar to that 
which Apple used), even though Apple went to great lengths to discourage 
you from doing so.

Adobe stopped this development and maintenance because they intended to move

Apple is the only large-scale provider of entirely integrated hardware/software

important. When macOS development is re-tuned to use hardware features that do 
not exist on earlier systems, the earlier hardware can no longer support using 
the new OS.

Linux is a good OS, but it's never "bleeding edge" on feature development nor 
does it support the kind of user experience that macOS is tuned for. Trade-offs …

Depends on your definition of “force” or “break”.

There are a lot of features on LR 6 that stopped working, mapping and facial 
recognition.  Even without changing the OS.  I think it has something to do 
with licenses that expired and Adobe didn’t renew.

Similarly security flaws are detected, and do not get fixed in older versions 
of the OS.

There are a lot of compelling reasons that one might need to update some bit of 
software, application or OS.  At some point Apple not only won’t update the old 
OS, but refuses to allow you to install newer versions of the OS on the 
hardware.

Similarly I have several applications that I bought from Adobe that I cannot 
run, photoshop and In-Design in particular.  I quite liked In-design for the 
one or two photo books that I used it for, didn’t have time to learn it better, 
then when I went back to use it for something else, it wouldn’t run, wouldn’t 
install.  I don’t remember how much I paid for it, but I basically was able to 
use it for two books.  It is something that I might have use for once every few 
years, but in retrospect that was money that I wasted.

I am also running into similar issues with running X-rite code for the 
color-munki.  In order to calibrate my display I had to update my CMP from High 
Sierra to Mojave, which broke a lot of stuff, but Apple won’t let me update it 
to Catalina or Big Sur. With my new video card and Open Core, it should be able 
to run the newer systems, but I ran into issues. When I posted something about 
that on the support forums I got a note that such things are not allowed and 
they deleted my question.

Interestingly, I don’t seem to have this problem with the software on my Linux 
boxes.

Re: OT Epson scanner replacement

2022-01-27 Thread Igor PDML-StR


Indeed! :-)
And that reminded me the classics, - Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels 
(1726) where the Big-Endians are fighting with Little-Endians.
(For those who doesn't remember that story from the childhood, - see the 
link at the bottom of this message.)



The irony is that that story has a direct relevance to the arguments of
PC/Linux vs. Mac. There is sort of a historic loop closure (which is 
almost 300 years long now).
For those people on this list who don't know, the terms "big-endian" and 
"little-endian" describe how numbers are stored (and processed) in the 
binary representation in the computers (tail-first or head-first, crudely 
speaking).
Ironically, IBM PC's are running on little-endian CPUs (Intel), while Macs 
in 1980s were running on Motorola's 68k CPUs, which were big-endian.
So, the Mac-vs-PC war has been the war between Big-Endians and 
Little-Endians.

:-


And a little be deeper, - which makes it even more relevant to PDML:
This "big" mess has a big implication for all images (today's "digital 
photos"): Images should be read on any platform. More over, in different 
image formats the endianness can be different.
So, the software needs to recognize the kind, and reverse the order 
if needed.
 E.g. TIFFs can be of either type and that is marked by the "signature" at 
the beginning of the file, which is by itself is a palindrom: "II" or 
"MM", so they are endianness-independent.
In contrast, AFAIR, in JPEGs the image portion is big-endian, but exif 
notes can be either (or something like that).



For the history of naming that includes the relevant (and ever-actual) 
passage from Swift's book, see e.g. 
https://www.ling.upenn.edu/courses/Spring_2003/ling538/Lecnotes/ADfn1.htm

Now that i think about it, the epson drivers never did really work well
before i switched to 10.11

After digging around on the inter web it appears this V39 will work with
10.11, its a basic scanner which is all i need now, scanning of documents
and quick scans of old film 4x6's for the net

Thanks for the info

I have no idea when I got mine, but it was the very first version,
developed by Ed Hamrick out of his frustration with the software for
the HP Photosmart S20 scanner. Should have been around the same time as
yours.

Made a few attempts with Silverfast and some original software by Nikon,
Minolta and Epson and have always returned to Vuescan. I'm currently
using it with a Epson V700, Epson F-3200, and a Minolta 5400. One
software, one user interface and one learning curve for all scanners
under the sun.

In other news, I'm still trying to cope with the collateral damage after
upgrading from Mojave to Big Sur. Still looking for a replacement for
Expression Media 2. Almost thought I'd found something in an audio
database software called Library Monkey, but while it works OK on my
Macbook under Mojave it keeps crashing under Big Sur and hence is
totally unusable on the Mac Mini which is my main machine. Also still no
replacement for my Beyerdynamic Headzone and MOTU traveler Mk3.

Linux works great on the desktop. I’ve been using it on the desktop since 1993, 
the vast majority of my work computers have run Linux on the desktop.  Neither 
Windows nor Macos have any technical advantage over Linux.  The only advantage 
they have is that certain commercial software doesn’t run on Linux. Whether you 
consider this a feature or a bug of Capitalism is up to you.

Software on a Linux system is not provided from a monolithic source.  Pretty 
much every program has people who maintain it, and since for the most part the 
source code is published, if there is a problem pretty much anyone 
theoretically has the opportunity to fix a bug.  As such, updates and patches 
happen constantly, though most people get them through the people who publish 
their preferred distribution.   

As to Linux, the operating system itself, 96% of the world’s top 1 million 
servers run Linux.

Looking at this article:
https://hostingtribunal.com/blog/linux-statistics/

• In 2021, 100% of the world’s top 500 supercomputers run on Linux.
• Out of the top 25 websites in the world, only 2 aren’t using Linux.
• 96.3% of the world’s top 1 million servers run on Linux.
• 90% of all cloud infrastructure operates on Linux

Android runs on Linux and has 75% of the mobile OS market

85% of all smartphones are based on Linux.

In short the only thing I currently need that I can’t do on Linux is run 
Lightroom, and now I suppose scrivener.  Unfortunately, that accounts for a 
tremendous amount of my time using a computer and there aren’t any programs 
I’ve found that work quite as well for doing what I need to do.  With a 12 year 
investment in my lightroom catalog I’m kind of locked into using it for a 
while.

There are a lot of features on LR 6 that stopped working, mapping and facial

Over the years I’ve briefly used Windows as few times on work computers.  The 
experience was incredibly unpleasant, and unlike macs you don’t have access to 
a nice intuitive bash (now zsh) prompt. At one point, when I got a new computer 
I would often set it up dual boot until I realized that I never bothered to 
boot into Windows.  Where my Linux installations were practically plug and 
play, the Windows installations were a huge mess, particularly with hardware 
that was more than a year or two old.

 I have also recently heard that the way MS registers your software, if you 
change the hardware in your computer it will lock you out, I’m not quite sure 
if/what you can do other than a complete re-install.

Then there is the whole question of security and reliability on the various 
systems. 

Unfortunately, there is software I need that I can’t run on Linux which 
basically leaves me to choose between two unpleasant choices, and in my 
experience, Apple has been slightly less unpleasant.

So in answer to your questions, superior is relative.

Get Vuesacan and you'll be fine with practically any combination of

OT: More Epson scanner questions

2013-04-12 Thread Charles Robinson
For the life of me, I cannot get the Epson Scanner software to stop 
auto-cropping images when scanning 35mm strips.

I disable trimming and then the next time I do a preview scan, it's disabled 
again.  WTF?

This is on a Mac.  Latest software installed.  I'm sure there's just a trick 
I'm missing...

F: Epson scanner (was C-41 Tetenal Tabs Kit continued)

2004-03-15 Thread Dr E D F Williams
Thanks Jos.

I bought a big bag of outdated film a month or so ago thinking it would last
a while. But it's going faster than I thought possible. I'll have to find
more soon. But I do have a dozen or so chromes -- Astia -- and as soon as I
get chemicals I'll be able to try it out.

By the way and couple of months ago I acquired a scanner -- paid for by the
proceeds of an eBay sale. It's an Epson Perfection 3200 Photo. It's great!
So great that I gave the Olympus S-10 to the University. They've set it up
in one of the labs for scanning pictures from a 35 mm camera on one of the
microscopes. I feel a little better now -- after having received several
thousands of Euros worth of very good equipment from them. True it was not
being used and would probably have been scrapped. Just one of the cameras
(there were three) is worth it's weight in gold to me. Not to mention the
couple of dozen objective lenses and the condensers.

  I see I omitted to say in the previous post that one dose of 150 ml is
  enough, according to the instructions, for 2 x 36 exposure films -- one
  after the other. So far I've processed 6 x 24 exposure films in 300 ml
  (over a week) and intend to do at least another one. The results so far
 are
  as good as they've ever been.

SOT (Slightly off topic): New Epson scanner ;-)

At 11:42 21.3.2002 -0500, Brendan wrote:
Actually I need to retact what I said about the Epson
1680 before. I just got the new drivers for XP and the
scan quality has improved greatly. This was the first
test with the new drivers and the out of focus
problems are gone, this scan was only reduce in size,
no unsharp mask or colour correction nothing.

http://webhome.idirect.com/~trini/flowers2/por.jpg

a simple driver update.

I received my Expression 1680 Pro yesterday. 

I was suprised when UPS carried it to my desk... What a big and
heavy box! 

I had a little time in the evening (just 1 hour) and installed the
scanner to my computer, using USB. The installation was super fast
and easy and I had some time left to make a couple of test scans.

I can hardly believe the color, dynamic range and the sharpness
of the scans from this scanner. I am truly amazed ! I tried a 
couple of 6x9cm sunset and after sunset slide originals which
have previously been a pain with my old Perfection 1200. The
results from the new scanner blow the old scans away. Amazing
detail (sharpness) in the shadows and beautiful highlights (dymanics) !

My wife suprised me too. She immediately understood my need for the new 
scanner when I showed her the different results of the same slide 
(new and old scan) :-) I had been a bit afraid of what she would say ...

Hi Frankie,

I have the Epson 1650 and I think it is good enough for the web.
Resolution is more than enough for the web but the density is a bit
low for slides (this is true for all low cost flatbed scanners I know).
So you will have some problems with quite dark/bright parts of a slide.

My Florida gallery at 

http://home.wtal.de/DrBig/

is done with the Epson 1650 scanned from Fuji Sensia 100.
(Most other galleries are scanned on Kodak PhotoCD)
