I'm trying the new beta with Negative and Scan features. I use film scanners -- Nikon 8000 and Epson 700. I'd like to see those and other CCD scanners in the dropdowns with whatever profiles are appropriate.
Also, I'd like to see the Negaive and Scan features applicable to layers. When I process an image with Scan, it appears to apply to the base layer. I would like to be able to mix or adjust opacity of the Scan/Negaitve adjustments.
Product Mgt, thanks for your reply.
I would think that for any brand and model of scanner, the light source is fixed and known, not user dependent. Certainly among scans made with high resolution cameras, there is no single light source being used by all users of the same camera or sensor.
I also think it doesn't much matter if dropdown profiles are added that some users don't use. As it is now, I use one of the dozens of dropdown profiles in the new release and disregard the ones that don't give good results. If you have the technical ability to profile the high-end film scanners, Flexscan, Nikon, I hope you will consider publishing them for customers who find them useful. There's already a profile called "Epson" -- not sure what that is.
Hi everyone, thanks for the suggestions.
In our internal testing and work before the release, we seriously considered profiles for film scanners but ended up not creating them. The reason: the discrepancy between light sources each customer is using has a much much bigger impact on the results than you would think. Creating a profile assumes a standardized starting point, otherwise each user could claim that the profiles aren't great for their own hardware.
We encourage you to create your own profile that match your light source, it will be much higher quality than what we can do.
Add to the list of supported scanner the Plustek OptiFilm series of scanners, specifically, in my case, the 8200i.
Specifically, I would like a profile for the Nikon Super Coolscan 8000. The Epson generic profile works pretty well for various CCD film scans I tried it on. Many of the other profiles, including the next level Epson pair, give me a cyan cast to what should be pretty pure blue sky.
