I'm having a great deal of difficulty doing 48bit raw scans with
either the Minolta5400 or Nikon LS5000. If anyone is able to do this
consistently with either instrument, please let me know.
First, with vuescan 8.0.10, 48bit raw scans will not run at all on the
Minolta 5400. Nothing. Dead. So I take it this isn't supported?
The situation on trying 48bit raw scans on the Nikon LS5000 seems much
more complex. I started out trying to do 48bit raw scans using the
"scan from profile" workflow, using vuescan 8.0.10. The raw file was
not written to disk, although jpg versions were.
Next, I unchecked "scan from preview" and tried again to output 48bit
raw files. This worked for a while, until I clicked on "abort" at the
bottom of the window. What a mistake!! Sometimes the program can be
restarted without very major problems by closing the program and
reopening, or deleting ini file, or by reinstalling the program. Other
times, nothing works. I keep getting the error message "The scanner is
not ready." Other versions of vuescan (8.0.4, 8.0.9) seem to have the
same problem.
On another topic, the new auto cropping in 8.0.10 doesn't work as well
as the old (say version 8.0.4) using mounted slides and batch scanning
on the LS5000, while it works much better with filmstrips.
My settings:
4000dpi
48bit
Media:Image
Filter: with or without medium dust
ICC profile: generated by vuescan
output: various, but mostly 48 bit raw, 48 bit tif, and jpg
with and without medium dust removal
My system: Windows XP
Thanks for any input.
