Incidentally - not a best practice - but I decided to abandon all sorts of preprocessing like multi-sampling. I usually notice it straight away, abort the scan (takes about twenty clicks on the 'abort' button), purge memory or even restart Vuescan, and then everything speeds along again. In any case, I assume that if the problem arises when you change settings in Vuescan, then the software is a more likely cause for slowness than the hardware.įWIW I sometimes experience a slight slowdown in speeds if I forget to purge memory when doing a lot of scans - then the scanner ticks along quite slowly (but not one tick a second). You seem to imply that the reason you lock the settings is to save time - but the outcome is that the scan takes much longer! Do you see where I'm going with this? I've always ignored those settings, and it hasn't been a problem (in my judgement).
But I may, of course, have a faulty recollection here.Ĭan other 9000 (and perhaps also 8000) users shine a light on this mystery?Ĭheers and thanks very much in advance. In fact, I am quite sure of it because I do the double previews as a habit and the scanner behaved as my V has always done. Oddly, I don't believe the scanner did this on the first several rolls I scanned. However, after this second preview the "Lock film base color" setting refuses to "stick".Īnd when I then scan (thus, with only the "Lock exposure" set), the scan process is equally slow, some 15 minutes per scan.īut, if I untick "Lock exposure" the scans are impressively quick. It takes some 10-15 minutes to cross a frame during the second preview (and strangely it says the 9000 "scans" during this preview). The scanner literally "ticks" one milimeter of the frame per second. While the first preview is as quick on the 9000 as it has always been on my Coolscan V, the second preview is increeeeeeedibly slow. Locking these values saves time by avoiding having each frame previewed before being scanned. Then I do a second preview and press "Input | Lock film base color". I scan colour negs as linear scans in order to "develop" them in ColorPerfect.Īt the start of each roll, I do a preview of a part of unexposed film and press "Input | Lock exposure". I am wondering if I am having a problem with my Coolscan 9000 which I recently bought.
