Hi All
I have had my Epson 4990 for a while and usually scanned one piece o
film at a time and reset the parameters for each scan.
All was well
I needed to scan 4 frames of 6x7cm VC-160 film and it exceeded th
scanners maximum area at 4800 DPI.
That was not a good sign..
The frames need to have the same color balance or it is a problem whe
I stitch them together
I started scanning the film 2 frames at a time and immediately notice
that the color was significantly (20-30 points) different from scan t
scan
Each scan takes 20+ minutes
I tried putting the scanner on a voltage regulator to eliminat
voltage fluctuations as the lamp is an analogue component. I als
upgraded the Epson scan software to the latest. I have not liked th
silverfast or vuescan results
I am still getting inconsistant color from scan to scan with the sam
settings..
I found an old post somewhere from Rafe where he had come to the sam
realization and had emperically proved the problem
Is there a way around this or is this scanner fatally flawed
