Job Manager with 5000 ED
PostPosted: Fri Jul 14, 2006 7:19 pm
I wonder if it is possible to fully automate scanning entire film rolls with a 5000 ED and Silverfast Job Manager. Does anyone have any suggestions about the following:
1. How to keep all the frames in a roll aligned within the scan box.
When scanning a full film, at some point, the scans frames become misalinged and include the black side bands. For now I use Job Manager in batches of six or less frames. This is still better than waiting for each frame to process but it falls short of setting up a roll and returing when is is done.
2. Finding a defnition for all the "Copy Scan Parameters" list and what each impacts.
3. How to copy all the frame properties of the current edit to the next frames.
For example, the Copy Scan Parameters box does not include Film Type and Exposure, IPTC and SRD parms.
4. How to avoid two prescans to set up each frame.
The first one to set the scan perimeter, exposure and such and then another to set SRD parms. I have tried to prescan SRD parms first but that does not carry over to the former.
