LOL.. I was thinking about that one, but after reading here and noting that the Plustek can deliver more dpi than the Epson, I decided to reconsider (never mind that the Epson v700 is only cheap at fair..).You're making me waver in my V700 decision![]()
Did you try the multi-exposure? In my experience, that helps with dense slides, but makes scanning quite slow.
Still trying to work out my slide routine. For the moment, I decided to focus on scanning the simpler stuff. And I am liking the scanner's work on color and B&W. Thus far, I prefer doing a full fledged 7200dpi scan, along with multi exposure x4. Yes the scanning is slow, but it's worth it.
Yeah I meant multi-scan. Yeah it is reasonably fast at 3600dpi, just that I had time to kill and I wanted to see the pictures blown up.Mult-pass and Multi-exposure are different things. Multi-pass is supposed to help with grain and noise, it reduces random digital noise. I believe this is what you did.
Multi-exposure does 2 pass, at different levels of exposure. This helps increase dynamic range with dense slides.
With Silverfast, you cannot use both at the same time.
I really like the scanner, and it can be pushed quite far. For really fast scanning, I now do 3600DPI, one pass, and no ICE. I can work through 36 exposure rolls in 40 minutes.
