![]() I abandoned the Canon proprietary software that came with Canoscan 8880F. I believe you can sharpen the pic in the filter tab. Afterwhich, I did further editing in Lightroom if required. And I have been exploring Vuescan, particularly the available options in the Colour tab. I've decided to hold off purchasing the Plustek 8200i as I feel I have yet to give Vuescan and Canoscan 8800F a chance to proof itself (because I am new in scanning). No scanner calibration is necessary if scanning negatives in Vuescan (so I understand). I'm new to Plustek, as well as scanning in general, so please let me know if I would benefit from calibration in this type of use. Also I'm scanning a very flat image, not adding any sharpening (and then doing all my adjustments in Lightroom/Photoshop) and I assume my scans from the lab have been sharpened The scans definitely aren't as sharp as my lab scans but I put this down to the difference in consumer versus commercial equipment at this point. I didn't go through a calibration process. ![]() scanning 35mm negatives in the holder provided. I hope this isn't a silly question but I've been using my Plustek straight out of the box (with Viewscan). I would assume the IT8 Target can be purchased from the Vuescan website, correct? I can see IT8 calibration not important for negative film as colors are reversed, but definitely Vuescan needs calibration just as does my monitor. Do you still see that book as relavant or has the application not changed in the 10+ years? ”The Scanning Bible” is from 2011 so 10 years ago. From YouTube videos appears Vuescan is better, however, SilverFast is the app included with scanners, so at least a Vuescan license isn’t as expense or complex as SilverFast. Hardware- wise the Plustek may be a better scanner.īTW, Ed Hamrick advised I can purchase an IT8 Target to work with Vuescan. "The Scanning Bible" by Sascha Steinhoff helped. I must the say the learning curve for Vuescan was long and frustrating a times (for me), however I have got used to it and find it plenty good enough for me. I have no idea how good SilverFast is, but I am pretty happy with Vuescan. BTW : I am using Vuescan 8.6. Also the DMAX is 4.2 vs 3.6 on the 8200i. 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. ![]() For myself I understand the actual effective resolution scan for the PrimeFilm is between 4200-4600 which is higher than most others, I believe the 8200i is below 4000 but can’t find anything now on that. PlusTek also has the 8300i AI but I can’t seem to find who sells that machine or much else on it.Ĭurious if you looked at the PrimeFilm and what were your thoughts? What persuaded you towards the 8200i AI. Small specks in the calibration area often result in lines down a scan. If it doesn’t work at least ScanVue is “only” $99 which is cheap compared to everything else. A bad calibration can be anywhere from colors slightly off to very slow scans that produce bizarre distorted colors. I prefer ScanVue, but both scanners come packaged with SilverFast, so I’ll probably try that software. I have the scanners down to PlusTek 8200i AI and Pacific Image PrimeFilm XAs, but leaning towards the PrimeFilm. ![]() That means I need a way to digitalize the negatives to print from the computer, so I have been reviewing scanners and software as well. With recently getting back into film and looking at current development prices I have decided to develop my own film. Our software, VueScan, solves this problem by independently reverse engineering the scanner drivers and creating a new version of them so that you can keep using the scanner you already have.Plan to upgrade to a dedicated film scanner - the Plustek 8200i AI. There are many reasons that your scanner software might not be working, but the most likely is because there is no scanner driver available for it on the operating system you’re using. You can use it on a 20 year old flatbed to the newest fast sheet feeder scanner. What is the best scanner software to scan a document?Īlmost all scanner software can scan a PDF document, but VueScan is the best because of the diverse amount of scanners it works with. Press the “Save” button to complete the scan.Continue until if you’ve scanned all pages.Once the first scan is done, press the “Scan +” button (to scan another page).Once VueScan detects your scanner, load paper on the flatbed or in the automatic document feeder. ![]()
