Hi All,
I've worked with Vuescan for a few years now, but after a recent computer crash and reinstall I'm having problems with it. Hope someone can help.
I've always scanned as DNG raw, but now when I do that the saved file is basically an exact scan of the negative, not the interpolated and correct image. I can't figure out what's wrong and causing Vuescan to not save a proper image in DNG format.
The previews look great, I've tripple-checked all the settings, tried different output color spaces, scanned from preview, and even tested by saving an image as a JPEG (JPEGs are perfect). But, test after test, DNGs are coming out looking like the negative, not the proper image.
Any ideas?
Secondary, I first installed the latest version (9) of Vuescan, but when I tried to batch preview and entire roll only the 6 of the frames would preview, not the entire roll. Went back to v8 of Vuescan and I can now preview and entire roll...I just can't get it to scan properly.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Jeff

Well-known
i thought a dng (raw) file should be a direct result of the first process of the scan, which is in this case, a negative image (if you scan negative film). Have you check RAW option and save it as tiff, maybe that will make different result (i am not in front of any pc, i can only try to remember it)
It happen to me from the first day i use vuescan 8, and now 9. So i always mirror the curve line in photoshop raw software and tweak the light in reversed way. Maybe there is a better way, but i can survive with this.
As for batch scan, i think there is two concept mismatch. Batch scan is to control which frame to be scanned. But the frame it seld need to be defined in the multiple crop option. Setting may have lost/reset from moving from vue v8 to v9. So i believe you should define new set of multiple crop setting to match your film holder, or from v8 version, try to save the setting as a file (there is a command in the menu). Then try to load it on v9.

On the Output tab, check TIFF file, then check TIFF DNG format when it appears. Uncheck RAW file.
This will result in a processed file, not a RAW file, but I'm pretty sure that's what you're after.
