Plustek 120: questions for Vuescan users

[Fernando2]

Hello,

any Plustek 120 users who use Vuescan and have a couple of spare minutes to do me a favor? :angel:

I'd need to know 3 things (I'm referring to Vuescan in "Advanced" mode) from the "Input" tab

1) Is there a "Number of samples" slider? How high it goes?

2) Is there a "Lock Exposure" checkbox?

3) Are there separate sliders for "Red analog gain", "Green analog gain", "Blue analog gain"?

You could even just post me a screenshot of the "Input" tab in "Advanced" mode, without writing anything!

Thanks a lot!!! 🙂

Just had a look. Vuescan version 9.4.11

Input Advanced



1) No, but there is a Number of passes field. Input 1 till 16.

2) No, only thing with a Lock is Lock film base color

3) No, don't see these sliders on the Input tab though there are on the Color tab.

Thank you Hans!

No lock exposure?!

No lock exposure?!

And no single-pass multisampling, and no separate RGB gain (extremely useful for color negatives)... and no focus adjustment of course. 🙁

I still hope that "Number of samples" settings is really multisampling (single-pass) as 16 samples seems a whole lot of moving if it wasn't in a single pass.

Anyway, not really interested in Plustek 120 until there is a glass holder. I regularly scan "funny formats" (135 with sprockets, two frames in one scan...)...

No glass holder = no buy, sadly.

It's not, definitely.
It's not written as "Number of samples" but as "Number of passes". Vuescan uses the former when the scanner has single-pass multisampling.

Of course even microscopic misalingments between passes lead to resolution drop (I had a Canon FS2700 and had this issue).

Are any of these features in the Silverfast software for this scanner?

You won't have an RGB gain for example if you don't have separate RGB light sources to adjust. That's why the Nikon scanners have that but the Canon scanners don't. That may also be related to the samples vs passes thing as well.

No "lock exposure" is rather odd though.

Is this something that Ed might be able to add later, or is it scanner hardware dependent?

Hardware dependent. 🙁
