A batch feeder might help the time side, but i don't remember a batch feeder availible for that scanner.
EPSON SCANNING DARK SLIDES MANUAL
IT8 calibration and auto settings may get you the time side of the equation, but for some of the slides you may want to go back and do manual adjustments. Time versus image accuracy - i'm, afraid the two don't meet in the middle. Otherwise, calibration of the monitor will help Ll my scanned slides are much darker than what I see using a slide projector. 1) calibrate your crt with something like Monaco ez color 2) calibrate the scanner for the slide type you are using with an IT8 calibration utiility - SF or Monaco etc. I don't seem to be able to reproduce what I see when I use a projector digitally. Post scan corrections would save me time if that?s possible, and time is a factor in my purchase decision. My computer is fast with 2Gb of fast RAM. I think a general correction setting would work for most slides and scanning time is a factor. Last but not least, I'm a system's analyst and not afraid of complicated software. At the same time, I want my children to be able to watch them on their current DVD players. I also want to use the 16bit color option of the scanner and I would like to store the images in three formats (uncompressed Tiff, JPEG-minimum compression maximum size, and JPEG size that will display on current DVD players.) I'm converting these slides so they can be enjoyed by my grandkids someday thus I want to save as much detail as possible. Which version should I consider if I'm going to be converting 6-8K slide to digital format.
EPSON SCANNING DARK SLIDES SOFTWARE
What can Silverfast software do to help me. I've never used a darkroom or taken a course in photography. I'm amazed at the detail of the scanned file (and the 200Mb file size.) Still, it would seem that there ought to be a simple way to change the "starting point." The film negatives seem fine. I also own a copy of Photoshop 7 (full version) but I'm don't understand color or the tools to fix it.Īll my scanned slides are much darker than what I see using a slide projector. I just purchased a Minolta Scan Elite 5400 II (could I have asked for better timing?) and I don't seem to be able to reproduce what I see when I use a projector digitally. 6-8K slides that I need to convert to digital format.
