[filmscanners] RE: Scanning Software Quality

["LAURIE SOLOMON" <laurie@advancenet.net>]

I checked the web site and Vuescan does support your scanner with Firewire.
As a first troubleshootiong step, I always check both the cable connections
at both ends and the cable itself to make sure that neither are faulty
before moving on to other potential trouble spots.  I suppose that it is
possible that the Firewire card may be ok but that their is a problem in the
registration of the scanner's Firewire drivers such that they are in
conflict with something which prevents the scanner software like Vuescan
from seeing the scanner.

Vuescan is supposed to suppourt the Polaroid SS4000+ with a Firewire
connection according to the web site.  I will have to check and see what
type of Firewire card I have as I put it in a while back and don't remember.
But I have no problem making the corrections in PS as long as the scans are
as sharp as possible from the native scan.

<<I concur with your advice and wonder if Vuescan even supports Firewire
connections (and if it does, does it support them with the scanner in
question).  I have to admit that I do not use the latest version of Vuescan
and that all my scanners are SCSI scanners used with a Windows platform.  I
know that in my case, Vuescan does not use the twain driver under Windows
but uses a proprietary driver developed by Hemrick and often does not work
well with Windows XP using Adaptec cards and ASPI layers with scanners that
Windows XP does not support with its own ASPI layer factsimile.>>
