Hi All, Further to my previous messages I have obtained a Scan Dual I on trial. I have tried it with the Vuescan trial version (and also the Minolta drivers - so this must be a later model that works on XP).
Although my negatives were clean and visually dist free, there must be a fair amount of dust in my camera & lenses. Also the scanner may have been dusty, as the scanned imaged (done at max resolution ~ 2400 ppi) appeared to have dust & scratches. Firstly: What can I do to prevent dust entering the scanner? Should I be turning it on a while before using it? Secondly: Software dust removal? I have tried the AKVIS retoucher, and wasn't to impressed. I have also tried Polaroid's DSR, which I like, although I found the standalone app better than the photoshop plugin. This was based on something that would sort out an entire scan, without having to highlight each individual piece of dust/artefacts (the polaroid did a very good job of doing this). Can anyone recommend other apps, and where to get them (The DSR apparently is not available in europe!).
