I'm useing an Howtek drum scanner. At the moment the scanner scans frame per frame, also then two frames next to each other. in this case the scanner have to scan the same range twice. One for each frame.

My idea is, that the scanner scans both images in one session but saves the data in different files. It would be speed up scanning dramatically.

(Ich verwende einen Howtek Trommelscanner. Beim Scannen wird jeder Rahmen einzeln gescannt auch wenn Bilder auf der Trommel nebeneinander liegen. Bei jeder umdrehung passiert der Scansensor dabei mehrere Rahmen, speichert aber nur den aktuell anstehenden. Wie w?re es, wenn der Scanner dabei quasi die ganze Trommel scannt und die Daten der Frames, die der Scansensor passiert in die jeweiligen Dateien speichert. Je nachdem wie viele Bilder nebeneinander liegen w?rde die Geschwindigkeit enorm speichern, da der Scanner pro Umdrehung mehr Daten erfasst. Dieses Verfahren k?nnte man sogar auf Flachbrettscanner erweitern.)

You could do that by drawing a scan frame enclosing both (or all ...) your images and scan in "48Bit HDR" mode to file.
This is a "raw" scan without any gradation or color corrections, you only need to set the scan resolution to your needs (i.e., as usual).

When you have generated the 48Bit HDR file, please use our "SilverFast HDR" software to work on this file and draw your individuel scan frames with individuel gradation and corrections there.
It will appear as if you worked directly with the scanner, but it will be faster all together.

You may download a demo version of SilverFast HDR from this site.

Sorry, but this is no solution. When I scan an 6x7cm Image with 4000dpi 24bit the file ist about 300MB, in 48bit the same file is about 600MB.

On my drum there are three images besides. If I scan this image with 48bit I have an file more when 1,8GB because where is an unused space between the images. If I use 24x36mm images the complete filessize will be more than 1GB.

Sorry, but this is not an handy way. Additionally I don't want to buy an additionally software.

Due to HiRePP, SilverFast HDR is capable of opening even large files rather fast.
Unfortunately, there is no scanner feature that enables you to scan the frames "in parallel", you will need a software to do that for you.
We did not build such a feature into the SilverFast(Howtek) software.

Is there an "better "price for AI6 User? I have two AI6 licenses, one SE license and one IT8 license. I have invested very much in Silverfastproducts. In combination with these products 299 Euro is to much for me.

Can you give me an contact in germany.

Thanks
