Image Capture can both copy photos off of digital cameras and control a scanner to scan paper documents. I am using two PC's and each have a different version of XP Pro.You should consider using Apple’s easy-to-use Image Capture.
VUESCAN INSTRUCTIONS SOFTWARE
I tested scanning slides and negatives using the V700 (both B/W and Color) with Vuescan and the Epson V700 software and quickly determined that I was getting much better scans with the Epson Software. I have never had any issue with "Green Cast" for B/W Negative (or Color Negative or Slide) scans when using Vuescan with the 2450 or when using The Epson V700 and Scanning software that came with the V700. I used Vuescan for a few years when I had an Epson 2450 scanner (before I got the V700 and the included Epson Scanning Software) and soon determined when using Vuescan that it is very necessary to use the software "Color Tab area" to make proper adjustments for Black Point, White Point, Brightness' and especially to make proper adjustments for RED, Green, and Blue colors.Īlso, when scanning to get the best Dynamic Range and colors there is NO substitute for a person to have a trained eye to be able to evaluate and get the best possible scanned images. But why does Vuescan think the film has a green base color ?Īre you depending too much on the scanner and Vuescan making the proper exposures (and color balance) based on the film type. This must be compensated for by adding more green resulting in the color cast. Uncorrected scans would then get too orange. Now everything is clear to me : Vuescan thinks that the film base color is greenish. In my case it is determined to be "film base color red"=0.82, "film base color green"=0.906, "film base color blue"=0.84. If I use the stated workflow to "calibrate" to the film base color I can see that on the "color" tab of Vuescan the film base color is displayed. As I am not able to determine the filmvendor and type (all I can find is a "S-200" on the film edge) I resorted to the recommended calibration which makes sense to me.
Using the Vuescan builtin profiles as well as the GENERIC/NEGATIVE results in varying shades of green color cast. Now to problems with scanning of negative film. I have not got enough experience yet to say if the problems are due to my limited understanding of scanning, or bad hardware or bad software or axiomatic problems which cannot be fixed using todays technology. So if anything one could be arguing that scanning stinks. Dark regions which have good detail in analog get almost totally black after scanning. : Actually the scanner/Vuescan combination has problems coping with high dynamic range in my slides. I would probably never finish this, but as my wife is doing the job chances are that we finish sooner than in eternityĬoncerning the one post : film stinks.
VUESCAN INSTRUCTIONS ARCHIVE
You are right : I am starting to scan my analog archive in order to have everything in digital. If it is either the Epson V700 or V750, the Epson Scanning Software (that shipped with my V700) has been somewhat better for my scanning than the Vuescan software What Brand and Model Scanner are you using.
The expectation is that Vuescan should use the info about the orange and then subtract" this from the following scans resulting in scans which have "correct color", at least to the extent that the green colour cast (orange in negative is green in positive) is totally removed.
Now I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or my expectation is wrong. I have tried this multiply but alway end up with scans which have a green color cast. This should tell Vuescan what the "orange" precisely looks like.
VUESCAN INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
In order to "remove" the orange color cast of the film I followed the procedure describes in the manual as well as in following link :īasically you scan a region which only contains the orange film-dye and then "lock film base color". I'm having problems scanning negatives with vuescan.
