epson 1670
Posted by john white on June 25th, 2005


I have an epson 1670 scanner. I am trying to scan some old negatives.
They were taken with a fotron camera in the 60's. I can't seem to get a
decent scan. I have read everything that I can find there is simply
little detail. I have the software that came with the scanner and also
vuescan. The software that came with the scanner seems to do the better
job although I suspect that its in the vuescan settings.

My system is an athlon 2.??ghz w/1gb of memory and I have lots of disk
space. I am running w/w2000

I also have corel 12 and photoshop.

I also suspect that I am missing something. Can anybody point me in the
right direction?

What seems to be the problem, color or B/W negatives, can you post an
example/crop?

file instead. The tiff was 7 million+ and the jpeg was 800,000 the
strange thing is that the jpeg was a BETTER picture than the tiff! this
makes absolutely no sense at all but I can live with the jpg file.

thanks for the response - it is appreciated....
