![]() So plenty of flexibility is provided here once more in terms of using your scans across a variety of uses. Or you can choose to Copy and Fax self-explanatory really, an Attach to E-mail mode does exactly that and Use Image mode allows you to drag an image into, say, a Word document. You can pick from Scan and Copy, great if you want to scan directly to your printer, where the scanner can be used like a copier. A press of the Start button – incidentally, the only button on the scanner apart from the on/off button – fires up the scanner software and away you go. The V700 is simple to use if you just want to start scanning quickly. I used the Epson Scan interface (through Photoshop CS) in all the modes and it has to be said, the results are remarkable. You also get a limited version of SilverFast imaging software, SilverFast SE, which provides a more advanced level of scanning. Vuescan does not scan color negatives perfectly without a lot of fiddling, and I just get it close and do the rest in Photoshop.Software includes Epson’s rather dated-looking Epson Scan (TWAIN) interface (through Photoshop for example) that provides an all Auto mode, a Home mode and a Professional mode, but given the market this scanner’s intended to address, the Auto and Home modes could be binned in my view. It is not immediately intuitive, but it does provide access to lots of capabilities. Featuring Epsons unique Dual Lens System. But lots of controls just don't seem to make any sense. Discussion in 'Digital Darkroom' started by markusmuller, Oct 20, 2009. The Epson Perfection V700 Photo is the ideal scanner for photo enthusiasts and advanced amateur photographers. The Vuescan Bible will help (google it and buy it). You just need to put in the time to play with it until it makes sense. The very slight clip on the white will find the few specular highlights in your picture, and keep the image from being too compressed in the histogram.įrank is right that you MUST select the scan are to include only image area if you use ANY of the automatic level-setting tools (even if Epson Scan doesn't tell you its applying such automation).įrom this distance, I can't help you learn Vuescan. Leave the other settings on their defaults. If you set Vuescan to clip the white at about 0.01% and the black at 0%, and if you output to a wide-gamut color space like ProPhoto, then it will capture the full density range of the film without blowing out highlights or jamming the entire range into one end of the histogram. But you can get everything set up and then save your parameters to be called up next time you are scanning that particular film. Vuescan is the result of 10,000 modifications, so the user interface tends to be rather non-intuitive and tedious. I once installed Silverfast AI-highly recommended by many photographers-and could not make heads or tails of it. I have used Vuescan since about 1999, so I'm accustomed to its weirdness. Same question Silverfast.Ken, I don't know the Epson software-I never even installed it on my machine when I bought my V750. Same question Silverfast.įinally, a friend (Rick D) uses Vuescan, have you tried it, is is any better to deal with? I took a peek and could not make sense of it at all. The color palette I cannot make sense of, and always have hated curves.Īlso, how do you get Epson to stop checking the unsharp mask! And anyway to get them scanned in Adobe 1998? any way to save scan presets?įinally, a friend (Rick D) uses Vuescan, have you tried it, is is any better to deal with? I took a peek and could not make sense of it at all. I'm comfortable with the histogram and image adjustment. Just viewing preview in thumbnail view, so best to use normal preview and do a crop to block out black areas? ![]() L, I was not even cropping like I do on documents. So in the future, it's just good to have an intern do all just all of them in auto just to see them, no tediou dusting, and then do the tedious work on final picks. I was hoping not to mess with all this stuff and save that for Photoshop, but the scanner is so off sometimes, that I guess I should now start tweaking before scanning. I thought the scanner know what to do? So you laboriously do this for each and every scan? I see levels, so like Photoshop, you just play around. Thanks Jon, have not been paying attention.
