So... I was lured by those cheap cheap *istDS prices and the excellent
GBP-USD exchange rate into purchasing a new toy from B&H. Less than a
week later, and the stop-down coupler has started making a mechanical
grinding noise like a knife being sharpened every time I activate the

I have the same scanner. Print film is easy enough. I have yet to
achieve a decent slide scan. So far, auto-correction and a bit of
desaturation seem to get close to the real thing if the photo was
taken with plenty of light. Most of my dawn/dusk slides have proven
to be unscannable. The scann

Good luck with that. I quit trying. I don't think it's possible.

I agree with the other respondent who suggested Vuescan. I've never
gotten results with the manufacturers' scanning software that could
even approach what Vuescan could get out of a scanner.

Gautam,
I have a different scanner (an Epson RX500), but have
been struggling with the same problem for a year. I'm
making progress, though.
Vuescan is a great program in that it produces
gorgeous scans, but its interface is awful and the
learning curve is steep. For prints, I use it; for

Is there any cheap alternative to Vuescan that comes closer? I am a beginner
who got a Minolta Dimage Dual Scan IV yesterday. Last night wasn't a very
successful night but then obviously I need to spend lot more hours figuring out
how to use all these scanning tools and photoshop etc.
But if someo
There are no free scanner driving applications worth a damn.
There is nothing even remotely comparable to Vuescan for under $150
or so. The only third-party scanning application that comes close and
is the same price as Vuescan Standard Edition is SilverFast LE ($49),
and then you get a ver

As to the color, its hard to comment without knowing what the original looks
like.

Depending upon when you bought Vuescan, and, after some point, which
version you bought, upgrades are free. I paid for Vuescan in 2000 and
have upgraded regularly. You should see whether your version supports
free upgrades and get the latest.

I just have to comment - I happened to own the same exact scanners -
Scan Dual II and Epson 2450. I always drive the Minolta with Vuescan
- the Epson varies - Vuescan for negatives/slides and the Epson
software for prints.

If what I'm scanning is just text stuff, I use Mac OS X's Image
Capture application, which does a good enough job. For photographic
prints, I'm not sure why you'd switch to Epson's software and not use
Vuescan. Any particular reason?

Scott, Rob, Rick, Godfrey,
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying out
VueScan and the other suggestions. Will tell
what happens after a few experiments.

Yes, they'll accept a return. As long as you have the box and all the packing
materials. They've never refused a return from me, even when I just decided I
didn't want something. Call and request a return authorization number.
