LaserSoft Imaging

Hi,

Anybody out there scanning Xpan trannies with the coolscan 5000 ED? If so can you tell me how you do it?

I am trying using the Nikon negative adapter but this does not seem to do the job at least as I am using it.

Can't get LS to recognize the whole transparency even if I re-prescan to re-set the image parameters. And then how many slides do you have use together for the coolscan to work correctly

Any advice appreciated.

The 5000ed model does not support xpan-transparancies..from what I know. or does silverfast really have a tweak for that? (where are the Lasersoft-suporters anyway?)

I used the film-adapter for xpan-images, 2 scans are needed....then use photoshop's photomerge .. it creates 2 separate layers...then use levels and it will be perfect....not to recognise, that they were stiched. a little bit of work - but better than nothing

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your message. That is bad news. I have way too many transparencies to think about scanning each twice and then blending.

I will look further. Thank you for your help. I also have a Polaroid scanner here so I may also hook that up to the computer (need a scsi card to do it) but it will scan the Xpans I think.

Thanks for your advice.
