If you mean ICE, then yes. The scratch removal feature of Vuescan has no impact
to
the streaking problem.

I have found the Minolta software produces better results for slides than
Vuescan,
while Vuescan does a lot better for negatives (

Yes me too, I'm more than pleased with the 48 bit TIFFs I'm getting, just a
little more fin

Never calculated it just reading from the manual, shouldn't that be 24mm x
36mm ?

Did you experiment with the infrared cleaning filter?

I've not got to slides yet, I guess that will be the real test, greater
dynamic range required from the hardware.

Thanks Alan, I'll be keeping an eye open for any streaking.

Indeed, especially for colour negatives.

Yes, and it can be fixed with the Single Row Marquee Tool in Photoshop, before
the
image was rotated in anyway.

I'm finding the results with Vuescan much better than the supplied software
That's very reassuring to know, thanks Bruce.

I thought it could calibrate around that sort of thing (much like the
Minolta software does).
I downloaded the trial version for use with my Multi Pro but
Hmm. Interesting.
I suspect something else could be the problem. When I first got
the Scan Dual II, I ran the MInolta software. I wasn't satisfied
with it, it both tended to crash frequently and my scans weren't
particularly sharp. That's what motivated me to try Vuescan ...

I've got over 5,000 scans on my Scan Dual II, so my mirror must not

Alan,
I have been using Vuescan and a Minolta Scan Dual II since Fall
of 2000, have scanned perhaps 2000 or more negatives with it,
and have never seen a streak.
Where did you hear of this? And how would the scanning software
know how to compensate for what sounds like a defect in your
scanner

Hi all
I'm about to digitally archive my negs and slides from the past 25+ years.
I've got the use (long term) of a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual and a late version
of Vuescan, I'm familiar with the interface and I've been experimenting with
the options available. Currently scanning at 48 bit TIFF,
25 matches
