Minolta 5400 problems
I have Minolta DiMage 5400 and I'm quite pleased with it,
EXCEPT for the two things: 1. Major problems scanning blue sky from color slide (8 bit scans). No problems for example with black, which was my major concern. Haven't really done anything else than slide scans so far... 2. Speed, which does not exist. Because of speed related problems I have so far limited my experiments to 2700 dpi/8 bit. But later when I start "serious" work with the device, thinks need to change! I ONCE tried 5400dpi/16 bit with ICE with multisampling; I left the device scanning over night, and it was not ready in the morning! Had to cancel it, which was not that easy... OK, I admit that I use ICE often...have to check what Minolta really claims the scan times to be with ICE... My system has Win2000Pro, AthlonXP1400, 768 MB RAM Minolta is connected to USB2, which really works as high speed USB2. I have tested the port with USB2 CF reader. These should be enough, right? Anyone else having these problems. As this is my first film scanner, I'm not sure what to expect with the blue... I could try to get some samples to web. As I don't have my own pages at the moment this might take some time though... As I told, otherwise I'm quite pleased with the device. And batch scan helps a bit with the speed problems.... Pygmi |
