- vuescan + d660u + film scanning
- Posted by Dominique Deleris on July 8th, 2003
Hello,
I own a Canoscan D660U scanner, which works fine under Windows. As I
am a Linux user, I bought a copy of vuescan to get my scanner
supported under Linux. It works perfectly well (thanks Ed to support
Linux !) except for film scanning.
When scanning a negative film, I always obtain very noisy and bad
quality images, whatever settings I try (scan to 1200 dpi, etc...).
The problem is not with the scanner itself, I have pretty good results
with the Canon ScanGear 5.8.1 drivers under Windows. I have also tried
vuescan under Windows, same bad results, so it not a bug in the Linux
version.
Can somebody help ? Are there specific settings to apply ? Is this
part (film scanning) a known issue with D660U and vuescan ?
Thank you for your advices...
Kind regards,
Dominique

Does the upper lamp turn on and the lower lamp turn off
when you scan negatives on the D660 with VueScan?
Make sure you've set "Input|Scan mode" to "Transparency".

It would be useful if you could put vuescan.log and a
raw scan file of a small piece of film somewhere that I
can download it from.

Hi Ed,
Unfortunately I own a Standard copy of vuescan, so I guess I can not
save a raw scan file. I'll try to send the log as soon as I am back
home.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Ed,
You will find material here:

- scan with Canon tools
- scan with vuescan
- vuescan log file
Hope you can help.
I have observed better quality in increasing number of samples,
but I always have ugly vertical lines...
