Re: Suggestions for Negative Scanner

2007-04-12 by David Keenan

>Vuescan is better for me

I have no doubt that VS is capable of making excellent scans.

I have tried to use it recently with an Epson V750 to scan medium format
6x4.5 negatives with the betterscanning.com dual MF film holder.

Getting VS to create and maintain predictable framing of two strips of four
frames using this holder was incredibly complex and convoluted.
Took oountess hours to figure out how to do it and even then each new scan
cycle requires more messing around to get the frames to align again.

The documentation in this regard is useless.

Maybe my distaste for VS comes from trying to use it for something other
than vanilla 35mm scans using the stock Epson holders.

But in this day and age not being able to grab a marquee around a frame to
resize and move it (something EpsonScan can do) is down right ridiculous.

If I am missing something related to easier scanning with VS then I stand
ready to be corrected -- so please let me know...

Dave.
