The Rollei was an old camera and there was nothing electronic on it. In March 1984, I borrowed my father’s Rolleiflex Model T and exposed a roll of 120-size Ektachrome of Boston & Maine freights in the Connecticut River Valley. Brian is the author of more than 60 books on railways and a monthly columnist for Trains Magazine. It aims to illustrate photographic techniques, equipment and strategies relating to railway photography. Tracking the Light is a daily blog produced by author Brian Solomon. A good source of these targets is: Ī) We currently support 4668 scanners on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. Most scanners are already calibrated, but if your colors don’t look right, you might want to get an IT8 color calibration target to calibrate your scanner. It uses an IT8 color calibration target to get the color response of the CCD/lamp combination so that VueScan can produce scans in a known color space (usually sRGB). This is what VueScan’s “Profile | Profile scanner” command does. The second of these is color calibration, to adjust for the fact that the color response of the CCD/lamp combination is different for each scanner. Some scanners will let you re-do the intensity calibration by using the “Scanner | Calibrate” command. In film scanners, there’s an area where the lamp moves to in order to get the lamp intensity (it’s a small rectangular area in the plastic film holder on flatbeds that have a lamp in the scanner lid). In flatbeds, this is done when needed by reading the white calibration target on the underside of the plastic where the scanner lamp goes before beginning the scan. The first of these is intensity calibration, to adjust for the fact that the lights don’t uniformly light up what you’re scanning. It’s not especially useful for scanning negatives or paper – these don’t have much noise in the dark areas.Ī) There are two types of calibration that scanners use. This is primarily useful when scanning the dark parts of slides. For more information, see the “Noise power for sampled signals” in: To reduce the noise by a factor of two, you need to average four samples. The theory is that the noise is reduced by the square root of the number of samples. Q) What advantage does making multiple passes have?Ī) The “Input | Number of passes”, “Input | Number of samples” and “Output | XXX size reduction” all do basically the same thing – they get multiple readings of the intensity at a given pixel position and output the average of these readings. Q) How can I make VueScan ask me for the file name of each scan?Ī) Un-check the “Output | Auto file name” option Q) How can I tell VueScan where to save my scans?Ī) Click the button next to “Output | Default folder” VueScan’s new email feature requires the Professional Edition. It’s a simple, clean way to email a scan. You are then prompted to enter the email address to send to and the subject of the email. The file name of the most recent scan is displayed in the menu bar, and this is the file that’s emailed when you press the “Email” button (the same file that’s displayed when you press the “View” button). VueScan 9.5.94 now has the capability to email a scan after you’ve saved it to the hard drive. One of the most frequently requested features for VueScan is the capability to send a scan by email. Updated Linux build to use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.Added drivers for Windows 10 ARM (untested).Updated Windows compiler to Visual Studio 2017.Fixed problem with Nikon LS-8000/LS-9000 focusing.Fixed problem with Plustek OpticSlim 1180 on Mac OS X.Fixed problem with some Brother scanners.Fixed problem with 1200 dpi scans with some LaserJet MFPs.Fixed problem with network-connected HP LaserJet MFP M278-M281.Since the last newsletter, we’ve released VueScan 9.5.93 and VueScan 9.5.94. Looking forward to more scanning next year! It only leaves for us to say Happy Christmas and every best wish for yourselves and your family for 2018.
