"Also, VS 8.3.04 is out now with improved infrared cleaning "
Maybe Ed has been listening!
Sure, I'll try the default ini, then I'll try the new version.
May take a bit!

Update: I've spent the last couple days playing with VueScan version
8.3.04 and I can report that I'm not seeing any of the little pepper
artifact I was seeing before. So basically dust removal is working
again! Well, at least as well as before, anyway. The "light" setting
still seems to be a bit underpowered sometimes, but at least there's
none of the pepper.
I still have no explanation for why others weren't seeing this. Maybe
it has something to do with registration between the RGB and the IR
scans. In any event, I've got a usable system now, so I'm happy.

Glad to hear it, Jeff! I'm still on 8.3.01 and it works well enough.
I've been scanning silver B&W negatives recently, so I haven't used the
IR cleaning. Having a scanhancer is quite handy for reducing visible
scratches and dust. |

Talk about putting two and two together... I just realized that you
must be the same Roger I talked to awhile back regarding the
scanhancer. You sent me some sample images (with and without the
scanhancer). I almost ordered the thing, but In the end I decided not
to, figuring that the very slight improvement wasn't worth it for me in
terms of the extra scan time it created. But I guess that's a topic
for another thread!

Yes, and you must be the Jeff Applegate from Photo.net I keep running
into : )
The scanhancer is a time-saver for B&W and not really worth it for
negative or chromes in my opinion. It does keep Vuescan from
overcleaning slides and eating away at high-contrast edges, but this is
almost unnoticable.
For B&W you only do one pass, and while this may be twice the length,
you save time on retouching because there's a lot less dust and
scratches. |
