[filmscanners] Re: Bands while using Vuescan



When I tested the Elite II I tried it on my PC (PII 350 with 896 Mb of RAM 
running
Windows 98) and on a borrowed laptop (PIII 600 with 128Mb RAM running Windows 
2000) and
the results using the Minolta software (version 1.0.0 I think) scanned at the 
full
resolution of 2820 dpi with ICE switched off were identical.

I wonder whether we are discussing the same sort of banding in the red channel. 
 I posted
a couple of examples, comparing the results with the earlier version of the 
scanner:

(Crop of full frame for reference and full resolution extract from each scanner 
- 470KB)

(Separate channels of full resolution extract from each scanner - 307KB)

If this is the sort of banding you are seeing in Vuescan, then I think you may 
be right
that Minolta have partly fixed the problem in the software.  What version of 
the Minolta
software are you using?
