![]() ![]() I set "BatchScan | On" and "AutoFocus | Scan". I used a plain slide in frame#1, and put the "split level" test slide in frame#2. I made a test slide that's split, with two different "heights": on the left side, the film is in the same plane (same height) as a normal slide, and on the right side, it was raised the thickness of two slide mounts. I decided to do a test to see if this is done. It seems to me that if I preview all 5 slides, then set the focus location manually for each of them, Vuescan ought to be able to remember those X,Y pairs and use them when it does the actual scans in batch mode. This is probably more of a Vuescan question, than a general scanning or Nikon one. I wonder if others have dealt with this problem, and if so, how. But it appears to me that it doesn't actually retain the 5 distinct focus points that I set for the 5 slides), but rather just uses the first one. I thought perhaps it would work to batch preview the slides, then manually set the focus point for each one, and then batch scan. This seems to give good results, but does not allow batch scanning (the user must manually interact with Vuescan between each slide) - and this scanner is SLOW. Then scan the image with "Auto focus" set to "Scan" so that focus is done at the individually defined focus point, just before the scan. On each one, first do a preview, and then manually set (by moving the focus "cross hair" icon) the focus point to a spot that is not too near the center of edge of the slide, typical of the most interesting part of the image, and with some texture upon which to focus (such as an edge between very different brightnesses). The way to get the best result seems to be to step through the five slides individually. This would be a decent solution, except for times when, for a particular slide, the focus point lies on a part of the image with no edges or texture for the focus algorithm to use. As I understand it, Vuescan will have the scanner focus each slide at the specified X/Y focus point, before scanning it. Then (in the "Input" tab) set "Auto focus" to "Scan", and "Batch scan" to "All". The simplest thing is to set the focus point X/Y midway between an edge and the center of the transparency, to "split the difference" on a "cupped" slide. I am confused about how to achieve good focus, while still being able to batch scan. The interface is suitable to all user categories, the response time is good and the system’s performance is not going to be burdened at all.I am scanning mounted 35mm slides (using the 5-slide film carrier) in my Nikon LS-8000, using Vuescan. To conclude, VueScan is a pretty efficient piece of software which comes bundled with a large number of customizable options. This makes VueScan an easy to use program for every computer user. The interface comes with two display modes: simple for the average user and advanced for those who want to view all the options available in the program. For instance for a PDF file you can select the name, the compression, the paper size and you can create a multiple page document for the batch scanning jobs. ![]() ![]() The output image can be saved as TIFF, JPG or PDF and the properties of the file can be customized at will. You can choose from one of the presets (fluorescent, incandescent or natural light) or manually change the brightness of every individual color (RGB). The program offers the option to change the color balance of the image depending on the light source or the environment of the photo. It is also possible to use the application to adjust the colors of the image before scanning. For bigger images you can choose multiple crop that allows you to split the image into more parts. You can use one of the presets available in the program (the most commonly used photo images such as 3x5 inches or 6x9 centimeters). Crop images in different ways and customize picture colorīefore scanning the image you can preview the original and crop the part that interests you the most. You can customize the options and save them to a file that can be quickly loaded for certain media types. The application provides the basic functions of a scanner software allowing you to change the scanning parameters such as the transparency, the resolution and the output file. If you are not satisfied with the software delivered by the scanner vendor or if you want to improve it with new functions you should try this program. VueScan is a powerful scanning application that allows you to acquire high-quality images using a flatbed or film scanner. ![]()
