I've been using VueScan for a couple of years now and I've always been impressed by the ease of use and the quality scans that result. The current version is 8.3.80 which I installed tonight. Problem is: it will not drive the scan portion of the scan, ie I can preview but it hangs on the scan. I have a Nikon Super Cool Scan 8000 scannerthat used to work, but previous versions of Vuescan would lose the color information after scanning the third or fourth scan in a batch scan sequence. Worse yet, I would preview say all ten images (2 strips of five) and set the focus, white and black points, brightness, and color (RGB) bias. Once everything was set I could hit scan and all ten images would be scanned and saved...in theory! In practise, the first 2 images would usually (not always) scan okay, but the color of the remaining scans would be no where near what I set the preview to. Worse yet, examining the preview image would show that had changed from what I had originally set. This has been a headache for 35mm scans, the medium format scan situation is much worse. I've sent logfiles to Ed Hamrick with descriptions of the problem(s) with little to no success. What is someone elses experience with Vuescan? I hope Ed does something as my R8 negatives are piling up. Regards, Dave Strang PS: I've seen the price of the DMR for as low as $2500, is this too good to trust? What have others seen?
