<div>when you choose Raw in Vuescan (tiff or DNG) it will save uninverted image, it's basically the raw data scanner reads from your medium. If you choose Tiff, not raw, you will get positive image. You could be confusing DNG tiff output with raw DNG output. DNG is simply a file format wrapper. I always use Raw output, not DNG anything, this gives me a tiff file, uninverted, no adjustments by scanner and gamma 1.0 value. You can wrap it in DNG after the fact too. Lightroom e.g will let you do so on import.</div><div></div><div>If you want to keep some filter and other adjustments in raw files, you need to choose 'Output with...Save' not 'Scan'. It's all on the vuescan website.</div><div></div><div>87 months ago(permalink)</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>vuescan 9.7.96 download</div><div></div><div>DOWNLOAD: https://t.co/UP0SDLIaaw </div><div></div><div></div><div>My comment isn't about vuescan and Silverfast</div><div></div><div>But for my use, scanning many dias images form 1960-1980 I scan at 1200 dpi. I actually think Epson Scan software works better than vuescan. And easy, a simple as set the options you like save as a scan profile hit prescan check everything looks as expected. Hit the scan button wait 2 minutes, open cover, replace the 4 images close lid, hit scan without doing anything else and repeat. For my setup vuescan did a bad job with cropping. I'm using i Epson v600</div><div></div><div></div><div>I gave up on vuescan for color neg film. In my experience it was totally useless. And with Ektar film specifically, it just gets maddening because of high contrast of the film. Even after locking exposure, base color, etc the vuescan still tries to guess exposure and balance for each frame and usually it royally screws it up. I could only find two ways to make it work with color neg film:</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Anyway, for B/W work I love vuescan, but for color, I switched back to EPSONscan. It's not perfect, but results are at least useful. And if I see a frame that deserves extra work, I can rescan it raw and invert/color-balance manually.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>The Scanwit in general seems to be set up for negatives. This causes every </div><div></div><div>slide, not only night skys, to appear very dark. I would do a RAW scan in </div><div></div><div>vuescan (i.e., without any processing in vuescan), take the pic to a photo </div><div></div><div>editor and adjust the curve. Make it look like an arc (from bottom left to </div><div></div><div>upper right, ofcourse ;O)) as this gives the best result IMHO. A nice </div><div></div><div>"howto" can be found at (short description in the review, more on the links on bottom of the page).HTH</div><div></div><div>Sebastian</div><div></div><div></div><div>yay -S vuescan-bin, the PKGBUILD then automatically grabs the latest version.Sometimes you also have to use the Packages to cleanBuild? option since the software author does not always rename the version on their website when making very small updates.</div><div></div><div></div><div>These timeouts happen when the script is trying to download some of the OCR packages. My internet connection is stable (1 Gbit/s down via optical fiber) and I only ever have such issues with vuescan-bin.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Today i installed my epson xp-201 printer/scanner to scan some photos. I was able to scan once, but when i want to scan another photo, it never worked again.</div><div></div><div>When i ran scanimage -L, i saw the scanner just once too, and it never appeared again. I changed the usb cable, and rebooted the system several times with same results.</div><div></div><div>But, vuescan works perfect. It's so weird...</div><div></div><div></div><div>I have been trying to find a solution for a scanner problem I have for a Canon LIDE 210 which won't work when plugged into a usb3 port but works fine when plugged into a usb2 port on an older machine - using xsane from GIMP. I am going to try to test with vuescan but I wonder if your scanner was connected via a usb3 port? If so it might indicate a corresponding issue to the one that I had. I have seen a Ubuntu posting that vuescan worked where other scanning software didn't so I was interested to see if there is a common underlying cause here?</div><div></div><div></div><div>I tested vuescan today with my Canoscan LIDE 210 - and it works fine when connected to a laptop with USB3 connection, where the scanner jams solid with xsane. This is interesting and seems to indicate a bug in xsane when using USB3. Maybe it is worth putting in a bug report upstream to the sane-devel list.</div><div></div><div> df19127ead</div>
