I see lots of used specialized scsi scanners at bargain prices. Are those going to be a headache working with recent-ish computers for subpar quality compared to Epson Vxxx models ?

I picked up a cheap V100 and started playing a bit. While it's far behind what I see posted here in terms of image quality it lets me play around with curves and color rendition, and maybe decide if I'd like to go all in later for a more recent model. My only complaint is that the scans lose lots of details, which seems more like a focus thing than a limit in resolution. Is it something I'll have to accept for now or is that what the betterscanning holders are for ? e: I'm scanning 35mm negatives e2: betterscanning doesn't have V100 models, oh well unpacked robinhood fucked around with this message at 09:04 on Jul 10, 2015 |

SMERSH Mouth posted:Will pick up an Epson tomorrow. I hope it does better. I'm shooting an event tomorrow, too, and I'd like to have negatives developed and scanned by the end of the weekend. If I could get both those things done at home, that would be awesome. I just bought a V600, it's way sharper than what you posted on 35mm. e: better but not by a huge margin, I guess that's what the betterscanning holders are for unpacked robinhood fucked around with this message at 11:43 on Oct 10, 2015 |

I'm not sure if this question makes sense but if I'm scanning a really dark negative, I end up with a lot of digital noise on my V600. Is there a setting to augment the "exposure time" to get more data out of the dark areas ? This is assuming the scanner uses the same amount of light and sensor time for each line of the final image. I recently shot this and I'm kinda bummed about how it came out on scan. Maybe I should just expose like a normal person though I don't know how scanners work

big scary monsters posted:I haven't experienced that problem but VueScan lets you do multiple passes at different exposures, perhaps see if your software allows that? It sounds really interesting, I'll try that next week end . thanks !

 I don't know how to do this reliably without relying on my eyes and taste e: fiddled with the green channel a bit. VelociBacon posted:Are you setting each channel's (RGB) black individually? It might help. You can use the RGB all-in-one for setting highlight clipping. Adjusting levels like that will make your scans more 'reliable' without having to play with each image too much. Yes but in the end I always adjust the "middle point" on one or more channels (I don't know how it's called) until I get a result I like unpacked robinhood fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Sep 12, 2016 |
