What follows is exactly what I did, and it worked. The specifics of what to get rid of though were not specified. I remembered the problem with the CX6400 and managed to find the solution I used back then (luckily I had saved the solution to a file and found it using Spotlight).Īs someone elsewhere suggested, you need to unistall the scanning software. I just recently purchased an Epson V200 Photo scanner and discovered the scanning software would quit when run. I had a problem scanning with my all in one Epson CX6400 way back in January 2006. witht he scanner unplugged while installing. i unistalled everthing, silverfast too, and started from scratch. ![]() looks like you have to uninstall the old epson driver, and reinstall the new one. That file is then opened with the SilverFast HDR application to process and adjust the image.Found these instructions on the apple discussion board. This raw scan information is saved to a file. This involves an infrared scanning sensor that creates an independent file that identifies dust, dirt, and scratches on the film being scanned by setting the scanner software to 64-bit color, a combination of the 48-bit full dynamic range plus the 16-bit infrared channel. (Check for specs and prices.) For my test color scanning I chose to work with the new Archive Suite of both the scanner and HDR software to learn how the new iSRD image cleaning system functions. A basic SilverFast SE package is sufficient for black-and-white and basic color scanning. All the adjustment needed is to set the size of the image in dimensions and resolution as well as the frame line within the edges of the preview image, and then click Scan.Ī choice of packages with LaserSoft’s SilverFast are available. This presents a usually darker preview from a Prescan. Using LaserSoft’s SilverFast to scan High Dynamic Range (HDR) files, select the Scan Type option: 64 bit HDRi. Getting good reproduction of the light skin tones in a portrait is the crucial element. Landscapes and similar “hard” subjects are easier to scan to a file that prints well compared to portraits because the characteristic curves of the density ranges are so different. I also choose to scan both landscape and portrait black-and-white images because each is exposed and developed quite differently. Black and white tells me more about the scanner’s ability to reproduce fine detail and whether it is or is not prone to reproducing graininess in scanned images. I prefer to scan black-and-white film because it is inherently sharper with usually more distinct grain than either color negative or transparency film. So I did little with the Epson driver and moved on to SilverFast for a series of black-and-white film scans. Brooks, All Rights ReservedĪfter many years of working with Epson scanners using LaserSoft’s SilverFast software to run the scanners and adjust my scans, I must admit to being spoiled. I instead opt for the SilverFast solution.Īll Photos © 2010, David B. It looks simple but involves many obtuse options and settings that have never worked well from my experience. The Epson Scan scanning software (in Professional Mode) is much like it has been for many years now. My only reservation is that the Epson software is not effectively supportive of the hardware, particularly with carefully adjusted film scans, and that’s where the LaserSoft SilverFast software comes into play. In general, the resulting scan images are exceptionally fine and especially so for the modest $250 cost of this scanner. From my use of the V500, which I considered extraordinary for its cost, the V600 provides more refined scan image quality, better film support, and ease of handling. In addition to light effectiveness and efficiency, the quality of film scans is noticeably improved with the V600. (Bottom): Although the film holders look similar to the earlier V500, the design and construction has been refined, particularly the 120 medium format holder. In addition to the new advantages of LED scan light sources, the V600 supports 6400 ppi resolution and a 3.4 Dmax dynamic range. (Top): The new Epson Perfection V600 Photo is just a bit larger than the earlier V500, but contains a much better film scan operating system. ![]()
