En je weet zeker dat je de instellingen van je scanner goed staan? Heb zelf de 4990, en ik had in het begin een zelfde soort probleem (foto's die niet goed gescand werden) en het bleek dat ik ergens een simpele instelling voor het scannen van foto's niet goed had staan.
Ik vermoed dat ik inderdaad ergens een basale instelling fout heb staan. Ik heb de Epson al op de "professionele" stand gezet, in plaats van de volautomatische modus of "thuismodus", dus daar kan het niet aan liggen. Waarschijnlijk is het een foute Silverfast-instelling. Maar ik heb echt verscheidene instellingen uitgeprobeerd, en niets levert echt goede resultaten op, dus ik begin een beetje wanhopig te worden...
Gold jouw probleem foto's of negatieven? Drukwerk gaat bij mij aardig; het probleem zit hem echt in de transparanten.
Bij mij was het vooral bij negatieven, meen mij te herinneren dat mijn oom dezelfde problemen had, ook met een Epson. Weet alleen even 1,2,3 niet precies meer wat onze oplossing toen was. Weet ongeveer waar het zat maar ik zal vanavond thuis even kijken hoe of wat precies.
Thanks. I took some great pictures in this place (one of the most photogenic places I've ever been to!), so you can see why I'm frustrated at my failure to get them properly scanned. I want to share these beauties with you...
I have a panorama function on my little Samsung, but I didn't use it in Australia as I had a black-and-white film in there which I only used for regular-sized double exposures. This is a regular 6x4 photo (taken with my Olympus) that I cropped because I felt the composition worked better this way. I love panoramic photos almost as much as I do square ones. :-)
As for the comparison to Mars, that's definitely what certain parts of the outback feel like. There are parts which are so utterly barren that they look quite extraterrestrial. I can see why so many post-apocalyptic films have been shot there; it's a stark place, seemingly devoid of life. Beautiful, though. Very, very beautiful.
certainly in this shot the panoramic effect works out very well...the bleakness is complimented by having and endless horizon.
i've been using a epson 3200 scanner, with silverfast, and although it wasn't terribly expensive, i've been very pleased with the results. those pics in my lj were scanned direct from 35mm negs. with it.
my brother has been camped all this week out around broken hill, in the mining district. did you go through there? i think that's where some of "the road warrior" was filmed. in coober pedy, did you get to go down in any of those opal mines? their shallowness and the interesting geology of that area makes that something i'd like to do someday.
The pictures in your LJ look fine. May I ask what Silverfast settings you use? I'm interested in all of them (including the ones under Options), but mainly the resolution input/output and scaling ones. I suspect that's where I'm getting things wrong

Oooh, I'm intrigued and can't wait to see more. I've had similar problems with scanners before. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what to tell you about making it better. I ended up returning the first scanner I got [an HP scanner] and getting another one in the same price range [a Canon], but I still wasn't too terribly happy. It was better than the HP, but I don't think I'll ever be truly happy until I can afford a professional quality one that gives me results that match the actual picture.
The Epson V700 is supposed to be a pretty good scanner; it has garnered some great reviews, which is why my current problems are surprising me. I'm sure it's not the scanner itself, though. I must be getting some resolution setting wrong. The Silverfast resolution interface is pretty opaque, so it's easy to make mistakes...
Oh, well. I'm sure I'll get it right at some point.

you know, minus the two trees, this photo looks very similar to the ones the little rover sends back from mars.
