Q2 from RaglanSurf: does anybody know if it's possible to batch scan medium format using Vuescan with an Epson 700?Ī2 from Strappy : It works ok for me but that's on a Canoscan 9000F so probably doesn't help much. Q1: how much effect does the JPEG quality setting (in the Output tab) have, and what is an appropriate value? I'm currently using it at 95 or 96, and don't know whether I'm missing quality in the JPEGs as a result.Ī1: see post #5 from john-oh, who owns the Vuescan Bible: "The default is 90, lower will reduce file size but increase the likelihood of artifacts." And if it's not a good idea, no doubt it will rapidly languish onto page 16. Well, since so many of us use Vuescan for scanning, I thought perhaps we should have a thread to ask questions and receive advice from the wise members of F&C. There are also a ton of videos on using Vuescan on y*utube, some of which contain useful information, though you'll often have to spend minutes going through the basic stuff you already know!ĮDIT: I plan to edit this first post freely, so what you see is NOT what was originally posted! I was quite surprised, however, to see it at around £60! Rather than Amaz*n, here it is on Abebooks (though that's probably also owned by Amaz*n these days!): Someone on here has recommended the Vuescan Bible. If like me you got your copy of Vuescan some time ago, it might be worth refreshing your mind with the Vuescan User's Guide, which has been updated fairly recently: You'll need the Professional version to scan negatives and slides, but it's worth it when you consider it works with just about any scanner, and you get unlimited updates! It's quite fully functioned scanning software, at a reasonable price, with unlimited updates available if you buy the Professional edition (which you'll need anyway unless you're only scanning prints). Many of us on here use Vuescan to scan our negatives and slides (and prints, etc, too). Oh, there's also the "scan by digital camera" trick, but that can be quite a faff. About the only ways of avoiding it are to always get your film processed and scanned by a lab, or build a darkroom and stay away from the digital world altogether. Scanning is an important part of a hybrid analogue/digital workflow.
