i have an LS-2000 and VueScan 6.7.5
i finally learned how to use it (VS) after a few weeks of experimention
and man does it kick NikonScan's butt.
but i have some questions:
1. cropping seems to be off, i lose about 1% of the image on the long
side. that's with everything on auto. if i select the crop size to
35mm slide it's too small, 35mm film is too big (everything i scan is
mounted so the original is irrelevant). if i use manual, it looks like
the corner location of the crop is also manual. is there a way i can
set the size of the crop manually but have it positioned automatically
(so i can do batch scanning this way)
2. what if i want to batch scan and output crop files but i don't want
the raw file cropped? is there a way to do this? (i want to be able to
walk away and come back and have a batch of crops and scans (raws) but i
want to be able to redo the crops if they're overcropped, for example,
but right now even the raw is cropped).
3. it would be really nice if the user interface somehow told you what
options affect the raw file and which don't. is there a list?
4. i'm using "generic" even for print film. when i scanned some
ektapress pj100 and applied that media setting the images were way too
light. using the generic setting gives me more of the saturated pj100 i
expect. (problem is i never saw this film printed from film directly,
i've always just scanned it, so i'm not sure what it's actually supposed
to look like! <g>). my question is, when do you REALLY want to use the
media settings other than generic?
that's it for now, i think. thanks in advance.
