So in the second round of the exchange, we try to explain the difference between a cheap flatbed scanner that can handle Jumbo prints and a real film scanner. That doesnt discourage anybody either. Not that theyll buy a scanner that can handle film. No, no, no. Theyll grab a multifunction printer or an inexpensive flatbed with a transparency unit on top. We never hear from them again.

You can skip our Short Course on Scanning if you know this stuff already. But scanning itself remains a black art and this brief discussion of some of the darker corners can help keep frustration at bay. Resolution. Two numbers represent optical resolution the number of sensors in the sensor array and how finely the stepper motor can move the sensor down the scanner bed. The second one is usually higher and inconsequential. So if a scanner touts an optical resolution of 4. An inexpensive flatbed may have an optical resolution as low as 1. If you scan a 3. 5mm film frame which is 1. Simple math. Find out how many dots per inch your printer requires to make a high quality print. Do some tests to confirm the manufacturers recommendation.

Sharpness. One of the more misunderstood aspects of scanning is sharpness. A raw scan will always look softer than the original. Its no fault of the scanner. As Taz Tally explains the phenomenon in his excellent Silver. Fast the Official Guide, Because a scanner does not capture all of the available image data but rather samples an image and averages the values, it tends to slightly lower contrast along high contrast edges and smooth out the image. The solution to this has always been to apply some sharpening to the scan. You can specify the amount of brightness to add to the edge pixels, the brightness difference to define an edge and how wide a border to be affected. In most Unsharp Masking dialogs those are AmountIntensity, Threshold and Radius settings. But in sharpening a scan rather than a digital photograph, youll want to affect higher contrast edges more than lower contrast edges. To avoid adding grain or noise to the low contrast areas of your scan, youll want to increase the Threshold dramatically. Its important to put this in perspective. There are three kinds of sharpening you can subject an image to. We usually talk about output sharpening, the last step in image editing, which is tailored to the output device, print size and viewing distance. But with a Raw image capture or a scan, you want to indulge in a little input sharpening as well. Between the two is the third form, which Bruce Fraser in his excellent Image Sharpening with Adobe Photoshop CS2 called creative sharpening. But input sharpening is essential to scanning. Your scans will look disappointingly soft without it. Dmax. To capture as much detail as possible from film, you need a very high Dmax, the maximum density at which shadow detail can be distinguished. Otherwise everything in the shadows is just black. Most flatbeds brag about a 3. Dmax, which is more than enough for reflective material. But dedicated film scanners have a Dmax as high as 4. Density range is really what this game is all about. Its calculated by subtracting the Dmin or minimum density at which detail can be distinguished, from the Dmax. Dmax numbers are often inflated by cranking up the exposure so high that highlight detail is burned out which would be represented by a much higher than normal Dmin. But its hard to find a range rating from a scanner manufacturer, even when they underwrite independent tests. You need a dynamic range of 2. Slides can have a dynamic range of 3. Assume a fairly common Dmin of 0. Dmax figures you see. Yes, were giving the manufacturers the benefit of the doubt they didnt burn out the highlights. Then subtract the published Dmax to get the dynamic range. Hp 1315 All In One Driver Free Download For Windows 7. That brings the V6. Dmax to 3. 1. Thats just shy but in the ballpark of what you need for slides but probably in range for color negatives. Certainly theres no margin for error. But thats why you read a review like this. To see how much detail the scanner could really hold in our tests. Color Depth. Color scanners were using more than eight bits per channel a long time ago. If your red, green and blue channels each have 8 bit color, you have 2. Mac parlance. Color scanners routinely read more than 8 bits per channel, although how many more is not often disclosed. You cant see or print more than 8 bit channels but theyre immensely useful for choosing which tones and colors you do want to see. So scanners usually offer a 4. The V6. 00 will scan and deliver a 4. Connection Speed. High resolution scans result in very large files, so you need a fast connection to transfer that data from the scanner to your computer. Our test slide scans were about 6. MB, in fact. With Hi Speed USB 2. V6. 00 does its part but your computer has to have a USB port that fast, too. Not all USB 2. 0 ports are Hi Speed and Full Speed is slower than Hi Speed, so youll have to do a little research to see if your computer is up to this task. We actually tested the V6. USB 1. 1 ports and it ran just fine. If we were scanning a lot of film, we might wish we had a faster USB connection, but for single scans, youll survive. Batch Scanning. A high end flatbed like the Epson V7. Less expensive flatbeds like the V6. That beats the four frame single strip of some low end film scanners and high end multifunction devices like the Canon MP9. And it saves you time. That Canon MP9. 80 can take one film strip at a time, for example, but the V6. Thats a big help.
