2002-02-11 Thread
Now that I've started reading the patent details, it is obvious those drawings don't exactly paint the full picture :-). I didn't notice this before (did they just change the site?) but there is a link to the patent from that site (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0202/02021102foveonx3tech.asp) and

Yes, it is made with National Semiconductor, and it is considered equivalent to a 7 meg in current bayer pattern technology, although it actually has 3.53 "million pixels". Due to the fact that each pixel records all three colors RGB, using color filtration/separation caused by the natural charac

If the lines are flickering/moving, then I would suspect either the monitor, video card or cable. If they are stationary, and you have verified that they are not in the file, I would suspect your video card driver. The following q's may help you to identify the fault: - Do they appear in all p

Al, Thanks for the suggestion. I've just tried this with my Nikon LS4000 - turning off color management and setting the preview gamma to 1.0 so that the raw tif file is suitable for Vuescan. Then I used Vuescan to color process the file, and lo and behold, the final image is better coloured and s

[filmscanners] LS-40 - timeout eject

2002-02-11 Thread Mark Otway
I'm scanning some negative strips with my Nikon LS-40, but VueScan is taking a fair while to process/save them on my lowly laptop. After a certain amount of time (5 minutes? I've not timed it) the scanner seems to automatically eject the film. That would be no problem, except that if I'm not arou
