01af Posted July 19, 2012 Share #22 Posted July 19, 2012 Lastly, be prepared for a steep and long learning curve that will be (I promise) very rewarding. Steep indeed (and rewarding, too)—it would be slightly less steep when Steinhoff's so-called 'Vuescan Bible' would be avoided as a textbook. There is so many good and helpful literature on scanning available ... don't go for the worst just because it has a friendly title. And which book do I recommend, then? Umm—no idea. I never used a book to learn about scanning, but a bazillion of various Internet sources that I don't recall off the back of my head ... oh wait, I remember two: Wayne Fulton's Scanning Tips, and David Dunthorn's website C F Systems which is a revealing cornucopia of tips and tricks ... and lots of theory, too, if you're interested. But there are many more useful information sources ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted July 20, 2012 Share #23 Posted July 20, 2012 First of all, the above is unnecessary and should have been moderated. I don't understand why that is not done. Sometimes I get the feeling that the more posts one's sidebar shows the greater the leeway in issuing disparaging comments. If it makes you feel any better, I did notice your 'low' post count but regardless have responded as your report as requested. I normally never look at the post count of anyone. It seems immaterial to me. All this at my earliest convenience. ie. even before my morning cup of tea! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Posted July 20, 2012 Share #24 Posted July 20, 2012 Olaf's tips are very good (and btw, I do agree with you re the Vuescan Bible and have not bought it due to various reviews I've seen online; I just thought it was unnecessary to comment about the author personally. No hard feelings, I hope). I have found ColorPerfect excellent, particularly for Kodak Portra but also for touching up scans of slide film. I know one can colour correct quite easily in Photoshop too but ColorPerfect is my preferred choice (I just hope they issue the 64-bit version for Mac soon so I don't have to open CS5 in 32-bit mode all the time). There are some very good threads in this forum by members who've taken the time to dig into the details about Vuescan and ColorPerfect, such as this one, this one and this one. Here are some other links I've found helpful in devising my own workflow: Scanning black and white film with the Nikon LS-8000 Vuescan & ColorPerfect, A Guide. | Urban Motion That last bit, about devising one's own workflow, is important. We all look for different things in a scanned image so it is difficult to set firm rules for how to proceed. The best is to play around with settings. Vuescan is good in that it allows soft-scanning, basically scanning the file, as opposed to the negative, again. This saves time when one tries out different settings. I have more links on my computer at home so I'll post some more after work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
