RE: filmscanners: Scanning and memory limits in Windows

I had 512 MB RAM and upgraded to 1GB with Win Me and it didn't work well. It recognized the 1GB, but I got a lot of crashes. After I switched to Win 2K, all is well and the 1 GB memory is definitely helpful in Photoshop even with the 100MB images from 35mm scans. Less switching to the scratch dis

So far the PCI 5.x looks like a definite improvement over 4.51. Although I like Vuescan and will still use it, I think I will use PCI more often than I did in the past. Some initial observations(SS4K, Win2k, Pentium III 667, 1GB ram): 1. The main improvement is the ability to scan and correct at

Good to hear. I tried it a few times, with Provia 100F and APS neg, and it seems to be an improvement, with 12 bit scans/Color space embedded. It allows corrections(but no curves) and so far the scans look good. David, are the corrections done after or during the scan? Bill -Original Message
