Ed,
I was just testing this very thing. I tried changing three things: 1) "focus"
from "always" to "on preview"; 2) Changing both monitor and file space from
Apple RGB to Adobe RGB and back (remember I have a b&w image); and 3)
checking/unchecking the "release memory" box. I normally leave this u
ll very valuable. I just
wish I could upload it to you and this could be figured out fast. But I'm not
going to bomb you with an 11.8 mb file, and my ISP would not like it either.
My last version I tried that worked was 7.2.8...I loaded ver 7.3.3 but didn't get
a chance to use it, slight correction there.
Thanks,

I too am appreciative of Ed, since an early version 5 worked much better than
Insight 3.5 on the SS 4000 for B&w about October of 1999.

On my SS 4000, Win98SE version 7.33 worked fine. Using version 7.35 with b&w
Tmax film the following happens:
1) Scan takes 15 minutes instead of about 3 minutes.
2) The image opens up in photoshop upside down and too light, with a histogram
that spans only about half the range. I selected "flip"

Yikes, The control knob for it is near my foot when I work well under a table,
and somehow it got cranked up(?) to 60 psi!! I u

mind spotting away for two hours or more, as long as I can get up every half
hour to take a quick screaming break.
Hopes that helps.

Two points (in the instructions that come with PEC-12, btw):
If you put too much on, you get white streaks. It's not the film mount
disolving, it's simply the cleaner drying. PEC instructions recomends cleaning
again evenly to remove the streaks. I don't know how to do this if your going to
run i
I hate to recomend the old Nikon LS3510AF to anybody, because it's
really a terrible scanner from the dark days. But you can live with some
reduced image quality. They used to cost about $5000, but you can get
them in good shape for under $300 US now. Shows how worthless they are
in these enlighte

time I can't get him a log file- it freezes the machine before I can bail out,
so the log file gets lost. I can't even get to the end of preview now without a

Yikes! I sent Ed my log file from running Vuescan 7.07 and getting nasty hangs
on my SS 4000 in Windows98SE- it froze everything up, so I had to do power
off/on reboots. Within 12 hours he sent me a test file, and about two hours
after I e-mailed him telling him it now works, he releases it ( the
hangs my SS 4000. Went back to ver 6.4
(been away awhile) and works fine. Already sent Ed log files.

The LS-3510AF had MANY more problems than steppers. Trust me. I had painful experience
with one for years. And my machine worked for it's specs. Examples: dynamic range
(never published, but told to me by Nikon after warranty period) only about 2.4;
Windows version software had bug which effective
When I read the Kodak specs carefully, the anti-scratch coating is mentioned for
the 400 speed Supra, but not for the 100 speed Supra. Also, I was told the 100
speed has just been renamed from Portra. The impression I got from Kodak was
that the 400 and 800 speed were new formulations.

I don't understand either the condemnation or the worship. All I know is, in the
dark days of the Polaroid SS 4000, when Insight 3.5 was all that was available
in the US, scanning b&w was almost hopeless. But it was the only 4000 ppi
scanner in that price range. Vuescan 5.x made it possible for me
though I have had no
trouble with Mitsui golds.
Anyone know what else Phillips makes besides TV's and CDR's that would be reliable?
Maybe I should replace my stereo?

Opinions on using Kodak Supra 100, 400 color neg instead of Tmax 100,
Tmax 400CN for SS4000 scanning into pshop for eventual b&w output?
Anti-scratch coating,Grain, sharpness (after color supra run thru
channel mixer in pshop) vs Tmax?

I think it's time to save up for the Epson 1600...

the picture in the Epson manual is grossly deleinated banding. Now remember Im
using the piezo driver which prints differently than epson driver. Much more
fine lines. I get different types of banding but all much more subtle than in
that picture. Yet still quite visible with naked eye at a foot u
About a month ago I touched off a thread on the piezo list about banding going
away at certain dpi with piezo driver. But I was mistaken, it was extremely
sensitive to kind of paper, getting a good printer, image file(scan) quality,
and getting absolutely anal about nozzle and alignment checks. I
In addition to $$ you might want to consider film scanners that take "naked" strips as
opposed to carriers, if time is a factor. Personally I just load up 3
strips in old Polaroid 35 holders, 3 at a time and plop them into an opaque sheet of
gatorfoam , plastic, whatever. The template positions
