Hi,
I've been lurking around here for quite some
time
and it's really informative - thanks to
everybody!
Since I finally got my MDSD II and made first 30
or
so scans I have a couple of questions:
1. Is there some type of "full frame" frames for
slides?
I would like to decide myself if I want to crop my
slides
or not.
2. Why do I get some strange "double line" on one
side of the slide frame? It looks like black,
unsharp line
running parallel to one of the longer sides of
frame.
3. Sound during scanning varies - i suppose it's
because
of different exposure, but on one slide it was like
some weird
"zig-zag" sound, like scanner is going
backward-forward in
small steps. Slide scanned OK, though. Why is
that?
4. Minolta manual says emulsion side should be up.
That way
slides come out reversed. Is that really
OK?
5. I've been trying Vuescan and since it seems that
consensus
on this list is that the best way to use it is to
output raw files
that's what I've been doing but...
...some of the scans stay very dark no matter what
I do in
Photoshop (I'm not new to Photoshop-started with v.
2.5.1-
but not expert with curves either).
Are these slides cases for multipass
exposure?
I'm asking because I was never able to see any
difference
between Auto
exp.-Long exp.-Multipass exp. regular (not raw) scans.
I really apologise for long post and lot of
questions,
few months of lurking have cleared many foggy
issues for me, and this is the rest.
