Re: filmscanners: Is my Polaroid SprintScan 4000 faulty?

I have a similar problem with my Sprintscan when I scan B&W negs. I sometimes get a "bleed" from dark area into light. I'd be interested in what others have to say. STEPHENJENNINGS P h o t o g r a p h e r Cambridge, MA [EMAIL PROTECTED] > From: "

Re: filmscanners: Profiling, Ilford XP2 and Vuescan.

an as rgb you'll get different tones. The grain is most likely due to your scanner scanning more sharply than your lab prints. Also, some labs print their b&w minilab stuff digitally, so your scanner may be sharper than theirs. STEPHENJENNINGS P h o t o g r a p h e r Ca

filmscanners: Avoiding Posterization with Vuescan

Re: filmscanners: Avoiding Posterization with Vuescan

Tony, I generally work the way you describe; produce a 16bit file, open in Photoshop, adjust levels and curves in 16 bit. The posterization appears in the 16 bit file. I'll take your advice and rescan. What adjustment would you suggest I try first? STEPHENJENNINGS P h o t o g r

Re: filmscanners: Avoiding Posterization with Vuescan

The histogram looks fine, and the prints look ok too; I only see the posterization on the monitor. I suspect the profiling s/w as well, although my monitor is pretty old (>5 yrs) and may be part of the problem. I noticed on another post you mentioned setting ".01 black and .01 white points." I

You might consider the Polaroid Sprintscan 4000. The scanner is excellent; there are several scanner programs available for it, including Insight, Vuescan, Silverfast and binuscan and several of the Polaroid support people are on this list and can help you out. STEPHENJENNINGS P h o t o

Raise the black point (BTW, how does one do this? Change it from 0 to -.01 for example)? Adjust the media settings? Anyone have a preferred method? Perhaps it's not a problem; is it ok to have some 0 values in an image? I'm experimenting, but an experienced opinion would be ver

Re: filmscanners: This Gamma Thing...?

Tony, for us users of Vuescan on a Mac scanning for output to an Epson Printer, would 1.8 be good gamma starting point? Vuescan defaults to 2.2, I'm guessing because most users are on Windows. STEPHENJENNINGS P h o t o g r a p h e r Cambridge, MA [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To
