Re: filmscanners: Lot of newbie questions



I have a Nikon so I can't opine on the Minolta-specific questions.

Re no. 5 - Vuescan - in addition to multipass, you might also try to
increase the "Image brighness" setting on the Color tab,  and/or increase or
decrease (I don't recall which lightens the image) the Gamma setting - you
can use any number there, it does not need to be the Mac's 1.8 or Window's
2.2 or 2.5.

Hi,
I've been lurking around here for quite some time
and it's really informative - thanks to everybody!
Since I finally got my MDSD II and made first 30 or
so scans I have a couple of questions:
1. Is there some type of "full frame" frames for slides?
I would like to decide myself if I want to crop my slides
or not.
2. Why do I get some strange "double line" on one
side of the slide frame? It looks like black, unsharp line
running parallel to one of the longer sides of frame.
3. Sound during scanning varies - i suppose it's because
of different exposure, but on one slide it was like some weird
"zig-zag" sound, like scanner is going backward-forward in
small steps. Slide scanned OK, though. Why is that?
4. Minolta manual says emulsion side should be up. That way
slides come out reversed. Is that really OK?
5. I've been trying Vuescan and since it seems that consensus
on this list is that the best way to use it is to output raw files
that's what I've been doing but...
...some of the scans stay very dark no matter what I do in
Photoshop (I'm not new to Photoshop-started with v. 2.5.1-
but not expert with curves either).
Are these slides cases for multipass exposure?
I'm asking because I was never able to see any difference
between Auto exp.-Long exp.-Multipass exp. regular (not raw) scans.

I really apologise for long post and lot of questions,
few months of lurking have cleared many foggy
issues for me, and this is the rest.
